ANAHITA (Helping to heal)

Anahita, the Persian goddess of Flowing Water and Fertility, brought upon Earth the goodness of life, cleanliness, health and prosperity. And thus, “Anahita” in Sanskrit meaning the nurturer of food, crops and herds, the giver, doing good for others, is our name. Our NGO, named after the Goddess Anahita, also follows the principals of flowing water. It flows into places that are parched and barren, helping to heal people, mend their lives and livelihood, and make a dent in the prosperity of the area. Our primary focus being in facilitating healthcare and wellness, augmented by women’s empowerment and employability. We make entrepreneurs and trainers from simple village women, and see them blossom into income generating units of individual enterprise. And, thus, our motto is “Helping to heal”.

Our agenda includes

1) Health Mapping in
a. Rural Areas
b. Semi-Urban areas
c. Urban settlements for BPL clusters

2) Early detection and Prevention of Metabolic Disorders amongst the under-privileged
3) Facilitating diagnosis and treatment for the under-privileged
4) Skill Development for women and men

What we do best:

● Train local education girls and boys to do data entry to create databases and do data summations.
● Data Analysis of locally collected database, establishing health care trends and the possible causes.
● Assisting in bringing income opportunities to women in their homes.
