By enabling agency, choice and support for the women, they change health and nutrition practices in a sustained manner. They have impacted close to 100,000 children & families directly and worked with over 500 Anganwadis in the slums of Mumbai bringing down malnutrition among children from 25% to under 5%. They are expanding rapidly into newer geographies by working with the government system.
