📂 Program Summaries

Health & Nutrition

Swecha runs health camps (HIV/STI screening, reproductive health, vaccinations), psychosocial support and nutrition kit distribution for vulnerable households and PLHIV children. These services are linked to ART and local clinic referrals to ensure continuity of care.

Social Protection & Documentation

Through the GFATM C19 Social Protection grant, the organisation trained community facilitators and ran mobile documentation camps that materially improved access to Aadhaar, ration cards, bank accounts and other entitlements.

Legal Empowerment & Advocacy

Legal literacy workshops (covering relevant laws and Supreme Court observations) plus legal aid camps and help-desk support strengthened community capacity to access remedies and pursue entitlements.

Livelihoods & Skills

Skill development, enterprise support and microloan facilitation (case examples included) helped members start micro-enterprises and diversify income opportunities as part of economic resilience programming.

🏛 Governance & Institutional Strengthening

Swecha Mahila Sangam completed vision & mission workshops, regular Board of Directors meetings and capacity trainings; the organisation has advanced financial systems (audits and IT returns) and gained/works toward key registrations and certifications (12A, 80G, CSR readiness and Darpan registration).

📖 Case Story — Radhika

Radhika’s transition from vulnerability to a small tailoring business illustrates the impact of documentation support, loan facilitation and mentorship provided by the organisation — a model replicated for other members.

• Expand health outreach and mental health counselling; deepen HIV and TB linkages.
• Scale social protection & documentation drives (IDs, bank linkages) and nutrition support to PLHIV families.
