Projects & Programs

Education

MSN aspires to address the academic need of every child. In addition to paying their fees and providing school supplies, we assess each child individually to identify core strengths and build independent study skills through our after-school and in-school coaching and mentoring programs. 

Health

MSN organises routine health camps and vaccination drives for Typhoid, MMR and Hepatitis B. Every child is provided with a protein mix as a dietary supplement regularly. To assess their overall improvement, the height and weight of each child is recorded at the beginning and end of the academic year.

Life Skills

MSN provides life skills to children to enable them to effectively handle the demands and challenges commonly encountered in daily life. One on one and group counseling are also being provided to ensure emotional well-being and positive mental health of the children

Adolescent Health

Many girls in India are at risk of dropping out of school to be married off early, denying them the opportunity to access decent well-paid work and ensure future financial stability. Adolescent girls in the project area also often lack access to information about their changing bodies during puberty and appropriate hygiene practices, limiting their understanding and ownership of their bodies, as well as their sense of empowerment.

Women Empowerment

when we work towards women empowerment, the whole society benefits. But unfortunately, in India, far from empowering women, most are denied even their basic rights like health, education of girls for women empowerment, employment and a respectable status in society. Women empowerment program works towards the betterment and financial capacity building of women from the slums and underprivileged section of the society. These programs focus on making women financially independent and self-reliant. Under this program different skill development trainings are conducted and women are encouraged to apply those skills for their betterment and livelihood. Women Empowerment program actively supports women to market their products by organizing exhibitions, melas and awareness programmes.

Community

Poverty and cultural beliefs around gender are key barriers to girls’ education in India. Girls are viewed as a financial burden to their families and are often at risk of being taken out of school and married off early, thus increasing their vulnerability to domestic abuse. A large number of girls are taken out of school at the end of their primary education and are not allowed to continue into secondary school, limiting their chances to finish their education, access decent well-paid work and ensure future financial stability.

Tribal Communities

The tribal communities live on the margins of mainstream society, close to the forests they have inhabited for generations. They lead a hand-to-mouth existence. Most of their income comes from collecting and selling leaves, which they make into leaf plates for sale in the city. They also engage in manual labour, and, without financial training, take out loans at unreasonable interest rates. This project aims to help over 2,000 women and their families to achieve a sustainable income from leaf collection, vegetable cultivation and the formation of self-help groups which help them to save, lend, invest and access government entitlements.

Organic Farming

The previously landless Dalit communities were given smallholdings of land at the time of India’s independence, but, lacking training, have never known how to use this land effectively. Instead, they depend on local labour work and high interest loans from moneylenders for their income. These loans are generational and charge interest at impossible rates in order to ensure the lenders have access to free labour as payment and, ultimately, may take the land for themselves
