SAHAJ – Society for Health Alternatives 

SAHAJ founded in 1984 strives to make a practical difference in lives of marginalized people both through direct action in the communities as well as through action research and policy advocacy work. They believe in developing programs based on the expressed needs of the communities that they work with. Over the years, they have come to believe that their work has to result in building capacities of the communities they are engaged with. Their work, they believe is to inform people about their entitlements and organize them so that they can assess these entitlements.
