Mumbai, India’s most “modern” city, is perhaps best described as a paradox – the centre of opportunity and the locus of poverty. With thousands of people migrating into the city every month, a majority of its population living in urban slums constantly deals with issues such as unemployment, lack of water, poor or complete absence of sewerage and waste management facilities, pollution, and as a result of all these, very poor health conditions.
Niramaya Health Foundation, founded in June 2001, is a non-profit, non-government, community based health services organization, committed to improving the health of these communities. Originally an endeavor of Pratham Mumbai Education Initiative (www.pratham.org) to improve the health of balwadi going children in August 1999, Niramaya has over the years changed its focus from primarily preschool children to one that covers different aspects of community health.
Niramaya’s field areas in Mumbai include Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Mankhurd, Govandi, Wadala, Dharavi and Kurla on the Central Railway, and Kurar, Poisar and Madh on the Western side. Niramaya is also working with communities in the cities of Pune, Surat and Delhi, and in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
