Navjeet Community Health Centre
About the Partner
Born out of a response to poverty and inequality in Bandra's slums, Navjeet — an outreach unit of Holy Family Hospital, Bandra — has been delivering integrated community development services since 1978. Today it works across 50 slums in Mumbai and 45 tribal villages in Shahapur Taluka, Thane. Over the decades, Navjeet has made measurable progress in education, reducing child marriages and school dropout rates, promoting holistic health, building women and youth leadership, creating employment pathways, and improving water, sanitation, electricity, livelihood, and environmental conditions in the communities it serves.
