The Swades Foundation which began as SHARE (Society to Heal Aid Restore Educate) continued to progress in small steps; from starting a sheltered workshop for the mentally challenged in the Dharavi and Chembur areas of Mumbai to a more focused approach to impact the lives of people in rural Maharashtra. To engage rural communities with corporates, urban youth, NGOs and governments and empower them

to co-execute programs that transform their lives which enable our exit, creating role models and change agents for the rest of the country. Our USP is a 360° intervention inside-out model of development, with a multiplier effect. Our holistic approach covers all aspects of individual and community development through 4 key verticals – Health & Nutrition, Education, Water & Sanitation and Economic Development. Our strength is our 1350+ strong team comprising 1000+ community volunteers and ~350 full-time staff; 90% FTE work at the grassroots, making us a strong implementation foundation. We have reached out to all of 2,000 villages in our current geography (6 blocks of Raigad dist., Maharashtra: Mahad, Mangaon, Mhsala, Poladpur, Shrivardhan and Tala) impacting over 471,000 people.
