Aastha Parivaar

Aastha Parivaar Aastha Parivaar is a community-led health and advocacy organisation addressing the needs of s*x workers and their children across Mumbai and Thane.

Aastha Parivaar was born of FHI 360’s Aastha project, an HIV/AIDS intervention project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s India AIDS Initiative (Avahan) to address the health needs of s*x workers across Mumbai and Thane. From our original inception, we have become the umbrella organisation representing the various s*x worker communities in these areas– street-based, brothel-based, home-based, male s*x workers and hijra/transgender s*x workers. Aastha Parivaar is the federation providing financial and administrative support to its 9 registered community based organisations (CBOs) which operate at the field level to enable these different s*x worker populations to voice their needs, address these needs, and increase the capacities of individuals in the s*x worker community. The issues we address include family planning, health, human rights, rapid crisis intervention, legal literacy, literacy, alternative livelihoods, and education for children. The uniqueness, success, and sustainability of our model lies in the empowerment of the community to lead its own interventions. The s*x workers themselves take an active role in leading their community’s development through their own elected governing board and managing committees which are supported by Aastha Parivaar’s secretariat of professionals. We envision a community of s*x workers united, empowered, and healthy. Every day we work towards the goal of our community living with self-respect and dignity, free from discrimination and stigmatisation, and with opportunities for alternative livelihoods for themselves and their children.

More than just an umbrella, a canvas for dreams. ☂️✨

As part of the Hausla Project, adolescent girls turned simple umbrellas into reflections of their creativity, imagination, and dreams for the future.

Behind every brushstroke is a story. Behind every dream is a future they hope to build.

Through the Hausla Project, these creations become a way to support children's education and help their dreams move one step closer to reality.

Together, we can turn creativity into opportunity and help every child move closer to their dreams.

Creating opportunities. Supporting dreams. Building brighter futures.
