Our Vision Building Workshop at the field level was successfully conducted across our four intervention areas Indira Nagar, Janta Nagar, Gautam Nagar, and Dr. Zakir Hussain Nagar in Mankhurd and Govandi of M/East ward.🤝🏻

Building on our journey so far, this workshop focused on collectively envisioning the next steps to sustain and carry forward our interventions within the community and strengthen maternal, child health, and nutrition outcomes.

Recognising that the programme is built on the collective efforts of key stakeholders, we brought together 34 ICDS Sevikas, 5 ICDS helper/Madatnis, 10 ASHA workers, 2 CHVs, 49 Community Champions, and 6 SNEHA staff to create a shared vision for the way forward.

The workshop was highly interactive and participatory, with all four stakeholder groups actively engaging in group activities, sharing their experiences and perspectives, and collaboratively identifying strategies to jointly work on indicators.

The session provided an opportunity to strengthen coordination, ownership, and collective responsibility, laying the foundation for continued action and sustainability of our interventions within the community.

Together, we envision, collaborate, and act for better maternal and child health and nutrition out Partnerships,

Meri Poshtik Thaali: Har Rang Mein Poshan!🥗

As part of Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2026, the Building Bridges, brought the message of Dietary Diversity & Adequate Protein to mothers and community members in Bhiwandi.

Through interactive sessions on “Meri Poshtik Thaali”, mothers explored how adding foods of different colours, green, red, yellow and white, can make everyday meals more diverse, balanced and nutritious.

With ASHA, ICDS teachers and staff coming together, these sessions turned simple everyday thali into a colourful conversation about better nutrition for the whole family.

One mother summed up the learning beautifully: “We eat different foods regularly, but we had never thought about making our thali colourful and diverse.”✨

The mothers actively participated, shared their experiences and expressed their intention to bring more variety to their family meals.

Because sometimes, better nutrition begins with simply adding a little more colour to our plate!

Meet Seher Hashmi, 31 years old. She overcame Borderline Personality Disorder and is on her Royal Enfield Bullet bike, riding from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, firing up people with her life story and drawing them out to share theirs.✨

Interacting with women and youth volunteers from SNEHA at Dharavi, Seher with her motley team (Sunny, co-biker, Amit ji, Leena ji and Farhat, taking care of the riders and travelling alongside them), and those gathered together, talked most easily about mental health and overcoming hopelessness, by just building collectives of support and love for each other all around.

"Haan, main zinda hoon...tumhaara haath pakadne ke liye..." (Yes, I'm still alive...to reach out and hold your hand too)

Shraddha Matal, Youth volunteer at SNEHA dedicated her poignant poem to the woman who is travelling thousands of kilometres to inspire hope and courage among women and young people, to live their dreams...in their own ways!🙌🏻

The first breath, The first touch, The first embrace, The first welcome to the world. For a newborn, some of the most important moments happen in the loving arms of their .🤱

The first hour after birth is a precious window to begin breastfeeding. A mother’s first milk, colostrum, is rich in nutrients and antibodies that help protect her baby and give them a strong start in life.

Supported by Amazon The Sehat Project in Bhiwandi Rural brought communities together to reinforce the importance of giving every baby the best possible beginning.

Reaching approximately 700 community members, along with ICDS Sevikas, ASHAs and the community volunteers, the sessions created opportunities to learn, question, discuss and share experiences around breastfeeding.

Through puppet shows, discussions and debates, demonstrations of appropriate breastfeeding positions, and personal testimonials, common myths and misconceptions were brought into the open. Families were encouraged to understand that:

👉 Breastfeeding should ideally begin within the first hour of birth.
👉 Babies need only breast milk for the first six months.
👉 Water, honey, animal milk and other foods are not required during these first six months.
👉 Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition, strengthens immunity and supports healthy growth and development.

When mothers are informed and supported, families become stronger partners in giving babies the healthiest start. Because every baby deserves to begin life with nourishment, protection and the warmth of a mother’s embrace.

Empowering Community Change-Makers: Para Legal Volunteers Training Concludes!🤝

From 17th-20th August 2026, SNEHA, in collaboration with District Legal Service Authority (DLSA) and Janjagruti Vidyarthi Sangh, conducted a 4-day training for 31 Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) and 5 members from Janjagruti Vidyarthi Sangh at Mankhurd and Kurla Court.

The training aimed to strengthen PLVs’ knowledge of key laws and protection mechanisms, build their confidence to respond to community concerns, and equip them to connect vulnerable individuals with appropriate legal support and services.

The sessions covered women’s rights, Domestic Violence Act, Personal Laws, POCSO, Juvenile Justice, child marriage prevention, substance abuse, and the role of PLVs as community-level legal first responders. A court observation at Kurla Court provided participants with practical exposure to the justice system.

We thank our resource persons Adv. Suvarna Naik (DLSA), Adv. Sanket More (DLSA), Adv. Siddhi (Apnalaya), and Mr. Shakir Bagwan (Janjagruti Vidyarthi Sangh) for sharing their expertise and contributing to the learning journey.
