2017 has been a very busy and highly productive year for us at SNEH! We've been tirelessly fortifying our focus on children and their rights. If every child in this world gets education, nutrition and health, he/she will grow to become a great citizen/human being and can change the humanity for good. SNEH envisions the heaven on earth if we all work together for this mission leaving behind our personal priorities. To have empathy and love towards fellow human being is the key to make this world a better place to live on. So let’s join hands to work towards this goal.

Join SNEH today to work for this common cause. Social service is the way to pay back to the society. I spend every weekend to rescue someone from illiteracy and poverty rather than sitting and cribbing about petty issues. If someone stronger breaks the chains and start looking beyond, we can end the world’s misery in a flash of a second. The best part of serving the humanity is it does not require any illustrative qualification, but only a loving heart. People from diverse back grounds can work together and be a part of the CHANGE. “Communication & Commitment are the keys of success”. This year we tried to work on the areas of development that are vital for living in the 21st century. Those are- Education, solid nutrition and Health. In the coming years, we plan to have services under all three areas, under one roof. As partners, you have been an integral part of what we have achieved today. Its because of supporters and contributors like you that we have come so far.

Dear Reader,

Thanks for looking at our annual report. Our Annual report talks about ‘what we do’, but here is ‘what we believe’. SNEH Foundation believes in sustainable solutions to issues pertaining to Education, Health and Nutrition among the most marginalized population. We do not want to be an organization that seldom empathizes with people’s problems and just works on temporary issues with mere interim results to show the world a pool of extravagant statistics of success stories. SNEH strives to dig out From CEO’s desk the deep rooted causes of people’s problems, and offer them long- lasting solutions. We believe that feeding people for free or distributing materialistic assets to needy people doesn’t encounter the basic quest. However, educating people to earn what they need, providing equal opportunities and knowledge to the so called ‘Underprivileged’ population, linking the Government facilities to the most needy beneficiaries, and making people aware about them is something that will surely be sustainable and a permanent solution As a part of SNEH Foundation, I truly believe that, the success of the to poverty, illiteracy, illnesses etc. Through our array of initiatives, organization and a true sense of being a difference to make the change we strive to educate people about Health, Education and Nutrition rests in cognizant and committed impulse and urge by honest group of with a touch of empathy and compassion so that they do not depend individuals; and having said that, we are lucky to have an extremely on anyone unless its an emergency or requirement of funds. dedicated team of employees, donors and volunteers who are making a difference instead of cribbing about the problems of our nation. Come, Join us and experience what is it to be a SNEHi !!

Project Gyan, unlike, tuitions for children, is way more than a center to improve academic performance. It’s a hope for children who like to dream big and achieve them by working hard.

It’s a place where they can express themselves freely and learn as much as they want. It’s a ray of light to a brighter future.

Nagmin (11 years), As she was shy, she never participated in any events. Project Gyan team started working on her and helped her to realize her strength of drawing Mehndi, which gave her a strong reason to give it a try and participate in Mehendi competition. In her maiden try, she stood second in that competition and then she never turned back. Soon Nagmin and her mother will be starting a Mehndi teaching course in Kalakhadak area. Our best wishes are always with her.

This story is something that gives us strength to bring a sustainable change in lives.

19 When Azim discovered his Aim

14 years old who used to roam aimlessly and had started getting indulged with teen mafias of Kalakhadak slum. In 2017 SNEH project Gyan at Kalakhadak started working on Azim. With continuous efforts, we brought Azim back to mainstream kids, however the gamechanger was to take him to participate in an Inter NGO sports event where he realized his real dream of becoming national level athlete in Long Jump. He started saving money for a sports kit, practicing hard, and he also got serious in studies too. This was enough to open his father’s eyes as well who has recently decided to quit drinking for his son.

We cannot predict his future but we can definitely say that he is no more aimless.
