    2016

Swachha Bahuuddeshiya Sanstha is a leading NGO from Amravati, Maharashtra. And our vision is to stand out as one of the institutions that have helped Read morecreate a better society. And our mission is to keep doing the work that is realistic, important, and productive for the society. Currently, we focus on two initiatives: Aastha and Don Ghas. Aastha is a shelter home for women in distress, providing safe housing, meals, healthcare, and opportunities for self-esteem. It accommodates up to 10 residents, with 50 women benefitting so far. Aastha Bhojanalaya, our cloud kitchen, helps these women earn by serving nutritious food. Don Ghas offers free meals to patients and caregivers at Irwin Hospital, Amravati, serving 35000 meals since 2023. Swachha Bahuuddeshiya Sanstha has a history of working on unique and impactful projects that benefit the community. Some of our past initiatives include a public pay-and-use toilet in Amravati, a toy library, nursing care camps for the Pardhi community in Gulgavhan-Bahilolpur village, a helpline for patients and their relatives, an education project to improve learning outcomes in primary schools, and various training programs and activities to support self-help groups. Our work is made possible thanks to the support of many individual well-wishers, as well as organizations such as NABARD, Maharashtra Rajya Mahila Aayog, Bombay Community Public Trust (through Apeksha Homoeo Society), Prayas, and With Arya. We are grateful for their continued support as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those in need.


Issue

Swachha Bahuuddeshiya Sanstha is dedicated to addressing the lack of support for single women in need, including widows, abandoned, divorced, and unmarried adult women. These women often struggle with securing basic necessities and opportunities for personal growth. Societal stigma and lack of awareness further exacerbate these issues. Through our Aastha - Shelter Home for Women, we provide a safe home, meals, healthcare services, and personal growth opportunities for these women. However, consistent funding remains a challenge.


Action

Swachha Bahuuddeshiya Sanstha is an action-oriented non-profit organization that provides support and care for single women in need (widows, abandoned, divorced, unmarried adults) through our Aastha - Shelter Home for Women. We strive to provide a safe environment, meals, healthcare services, and opportunities for our residents. We are supported by various funders and partners and continue to seek support to carry out our work effectively.

Impact

Swachha Bahuuddeshiya Sanstha's Aastha - Shelter Home for Women has made a significant impact by providing a safe home, meals, healthcare, and personal growth opportunities to 50+ single women in need. This initiative has empowered these women to lead a dignified life and fostered a sense of security and belonging. The organization's work is also contributing to societal change by addressing stigma and fostering inclusivity. However, quantifying the full impact remains a challenge due to the complexity of the issues addressed.
