OUR APPROACH

Matri Sudha addresses health and nutrition issues through age-appropriate interventions by working with parents, teachers, Anganwadi workers, communities, district and state level governments as well as the children themselves.

It starts at the grassroots level through behavior change and influencing public policy at government level - thereby creating an ecosystem where young children, young people and women’s issues are given priority.

Community-Centered Solutions: We place communities at the heart of our work, recognizing their strengths, needs, and aspirations. By actively involving community members in the design, implementation, and evaluation of our programs, we ensure solutions that are relevant, sustainable, and empowering.

Integrated Programming: We understand that social issues are interconnected and multifaceted. Therefore, we adopt an integrated approach that addresses the root causes of problems while simultaneously providing holistic solutions. Our integrated programs combine nutrition improvement, education enhancement, advocacy, and capacity building to create lasting impact.

Evidence-Based Practices: We are committed to using evidence-based practices and rigorous research to inform our interventions. By continuously monitoring and evaluating our programs, we ensure that they are effective, efficient, and responsive to the evolving needs of the communities we serve.

Partnerships and Collaboration: We recognize the importance of partnerships and collaboration in achieving our goals. We work closely with government agencies, NGOs, community-based organizations, academic institutions, and other stakeholders to leverage resources, expertise, and networks for maximum impact.

Empowerment and Capacity Building: We believe in empowering individuals and communities to be agents of change in their own lives. Through skills development, training, and capacity-building initiatives, we equip community members with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to address challenges and pursue opportunities for growth and development.

Advocacy and Policy Influence: We advocate for policies and practices that promote social justice, equity, and inclusivity. Through research, advocacy campaigns, and strategic partnerships, we work to influence policy decisions and create an enabling environment for positive change at the local, national, and global levels.
