Founded in 1995, VATSALYA has emerged as a Resource Centre dedicated to transforming the health and social development landscape for women and children. While its journey began with a focus on combatting gender-based sex selection, VATSALYA quickly recognized the interconnected nature of various societal issues. As a result, it has expanded its mission to encompass critical areas such as sanitation, nutrition, child rights, education and adolescent development.

At the heart of VATSALYA’s approach is a commitment to research and advocacy, driving informed decision-making and influence policy changes. By implementing impactful programs and training stakeholders, VATSALYA actively seeks to create a ripple effect of positive change that resonates through communities. The organization believes that true transformation comes from the ground up, which is why it places a strong emphasis on community involvement.

By empowering Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), VATSALYA fosters local leadership and capacity building, ensuring that initiatives are not only effective but also sustainable. This collaborative effort aligns seamlessly with government programs, enhancing the reach and impact of its work.

VATSALYA’s multifaceted initiatives are designed to uplift the status of women and children, championing their rights and well-being in society. Through educational workshops, health awareness campaigns, and community engagement, VATSALYA envisions a future where women and children thrive, fully supported by an informed and compassionate community. In this journey of empowerment, VATSALYA stands as a beacon of hope, inspiring positive change and fostering a society that values and protects its most vulnerable members.
