Six focus areas
Six programmes, run where the need is greatest.
Each one states the problem it exists against, what it actually runs, and the numbers it has produced — education, health, environment, women's empowerment, community development and disaster response.
Six focus areas
Run alongside each other in the same districts — a child kept in school by a health camp and a village whose water is clean are the same programme seen from two sides.
Education
Education is for all — the slogan a group of like-minded people came together behind, and the reason Aahwahan exists at all.
Health
Nearly 75% of India's healthcare infrastructure sits where 27% of its people live. Everything here exists to close that gap.
Environment
We, the people, for the planet — more than 9 million trees planted, and 50 million the target by 2030.
Women Empowerment
Empowering women. Transforming communities. Creating sustainable CSR impact — across 19+ flagship initiatives.
Community Development
Urbanisation has shifted the country's socioeconomic preferences. Rural upliftment is what puts that balance back.
Disaster Management
Responding quickly to emergencies, and ensuring the availability of exclusive facilities for rapid response to our partners.

The programmes behind the six headings — mobile classrooms, medical vans, plantation drives, self-help groups, water and sanitation, relief convoys.
In their words
What the six programmes look like to the people they were run for.
The van came to our village every week. My daughter learned to use a computer before I ever saw one — she is the first in our family to finish school.
A parentEducation on Wheels village
I had put off the check-up for two years because the hospital is a day away. The camp found it early. I am still here because of that morning.
A patientMobile medical camp
We decide what the group saves for. Nobody handed us a plan — we built it, and the shop is ours.
A memberWomen's self-help group
The saplings they gave us were the same ones we used to cut for firewood. Now the whole ridge behind the village is green again, and the well hasn't gone dry in three summers.

The six run alongside each other in the same districts, which is the point. A child kept in school by a health camp, a mother earning through a self-help group and a village whose water is clean are the same programme seen from three sides.
