What We Do By running education, health, nutrition and youth group programmes, FMCHI aims to eliminate poverty and malnutrition among underprivileged women and children in the communities it serves. To achieve its objectives, FMCHI draws on the expertise of two well-established NGOs in Mumbai:
With limited access to good schools and proper nutrition, illiteracy and malnutrition rates are high and disease is rife. The Ganesh Nagar community is currently being transformed by the construction of three mid-ris FMCHI has been allocated a 450 square foot space in the first of these three buildings where it runs a trilingual pre-school and a youth group in addition to a variety of educational and training programmes promoting health and hygiene. Muktangan provides teacher training for mothers from the Ganesh Nagar community. Once trained, these women teach at FMCHI under Muktangan’s tutelage and supervision.

The Foundation for Mother and Child Health, India (FMCHI) or Bal Sehat Kendra, as it is known locally, was established in Mumbai in 2005. 
FMCH’s flagship project is a pre-school and health centre in Ganesh Nagar, a slum community housing 390 families totalling almost 2000 people. Residents live in cramped and unsanitary conditions, sharing a total of just six toilets.
