What we do
We support children and womens to reach their full potential!
At Akhanda and Atharva Foundation, we are committed to transforming lives through a range of impactful programs and initiatives. Our work spans across various critical areas, all aimed at empowering communities and improving the quality of life for those in need. Here's how we make a difference:
Skill Development and Training
We offer vocational training programs that equip women with the skills needed to pursue meaningful employment or start their own businesses. From tailoring and handicrafts to digital literacy, our training initiatives are designed to open doors to new opportunities.
Entrepreneurship Support
We provide women with the resources, mentorship, and financial assistance they need to start and sustain small businesses. By fostering entrepreneurship, we help women achieve financial independence and contribute to the local economy.
Advocacy and Awareness
We work to raise awareness about women’s rights and gender equality. Through workshops, seminars, and community outreach, we educate women on their legal rights and encourage them to participate in decision-making processes at all levels.
Sponsorship Programs
We sponsor the education of children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, covering their school fees, uniforms, books, and other essentials. By removing financial barriers, we ensure that children can focus on their studies and reach their full potential.
Learning Centers
In areas where access to education is limited, we establish learning centers that provide supplementary education and tutoring. These centers help bridge the gap in learning and ensure that children stay on track with their studies.
Holistic Development
Our approach to education goes beyond academics. We focus on the holistic development of children by promoting extracurricular activities, life skills training, and values education, preparing them for a successful future.
3. Healthcare and Medical Aid
Access to quality healthcare is essential for a healthy and productive life. Our healthcare initiatives are designed to bring medical services and health awareness to underserved communities. We focus on:
Medical Camps: We organize regular medical camps in rural and remote areas, providing free health check-ups, treatments, and medicines. These camps address common health issues and ensure that people receive the care they need.
Preventive Healthcare: We conduct awareness campaigns on important health topics such as hygiene, nutrition, vaccination, and disease prevention. Our goal is to empower communities with the knowledge they need to make informed health choices.
Maternal and Child Health: We place special emphasis on the health of mothers and children. Our programs include prenatal and postnatal care, child immunization drives, and nutrition support to ensure the well-being of both mother and child.
4. Livelihood Improvement
We believe in the power of sustainable livelihoods to uplift entire communities. Our livelihood programs focus on:
Skill Development: We provide training in various trades and crafts, enabling individuals to gain employment or start their own ventures. Our programs are tailored to the specific needs and strengths of the communities we serve.
Agricultural Support: In rural areas, we support farmers by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to improve agricultural productivity. This includes training in modern farming techniques, access to quality seeds, and support for organic farming practices.
Income-Generating Activities: We help individuals and families establish small-scale businesses that provide a steady source of income. Whether it’s setting up a dairy farm, a poultry business, or a handicrafts unit, we provide the necessary support to get these ventures off the ground.
5. Community Empowerment
Empowering communities is central to our work. We engage with local leaders, stakeholders, and community members to identify their needs and develop programs that address their unique challenges. Our community empowerment initiatives include:
Capacity Building: We strengthen the capacities of local organizations and community groups, enabling them to take charge of their own development. Through training and mentorship, we help build strong, self-sufficient communities.
Infrastructure Development: We support the development of community infrastructure such as schools, health centers, and clean water facilities. These projects improve the overall quality of life and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the community.
Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation: In times of crisis, we provide immediate relief and long-term rehabilitation support to communities affected by natural disasters. Our efforts include the distribution of essential supplies, rebuilding homes, and restoring livelihoods.
