Our Programs

India is one of the fastest developing countries with millions of people from villages pouring into crowded and often unmanageable urban slums in search of better livelihood opportunities. Urban slums are frequently characterised by a lack of access to necessities, like clean drinking water, weak infrastructure and inadequate sanitation, insecurity, overcrowding, and exposure to multiple risks such as family separation, living and working on the streets, violence, alcoholism and substance abuse, sexual exploitation, HIV and AIDS.

Our projects cover five focus areas: Quality Education (Slum Children’s Education in Delhi), Health Care, Skill Development (an NGO working for Skill Development in Delhi), Women Empowerment (an NGO working for Women Empowerment in Delhi), Eldercare, and Peace and Conflict Resolution.  

(Give a slum child a future through education today.)

Education for Urban Slums & Villages:

Since poor slum children can break the cycle of poverty through education and subsequent employment, our Education Project for Urban Slums/Villages provides children from 17 South Delhi Slums and Tughlakabad Village with access to education in our Play/pre-schools and then in Secondary Schools.  As such, we strive to contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) # 4 – Quality Education by enabling inclusive and equitable quality education and opportunities for lifelong learning. Our Quality Education Program extends from pre-schools, Primary & Secondary for children to Vocational and Adult learning centres.  Sponsor a child today. 

Play / Pre-School

Our preschools provide a safe, nurturing space that fosters social and cognitive growth. Through play-based learning and structured activities, children build communication, teamwork, and emotional skills, preparing them for kindergarten and future academic success with a holistic approach to unlock their full potential.

Primary and Secondary Education Support

We sponsor primary and secondary education for children in urban slums and rural villages, ensuring quality learning and extracurricular participation. This includes our preschool pass-outs, supporting their transition to formal schooling while fostering creativity, teamwork.

Remedial / Non-Formal

Our remedial classes reinforce school learning, addressing gaps with personalized attention to improve academics. We also offer non-formal education at our community center for school dropouts, focusing on basic literacy and life skills, empowering them to rejoin mainstream education or gain practical knowledge for everyday life.

Adult

We empower illiterate women through adult education, teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic for independence. Women are encouraged to complete formal schooling via IGNOU and NIOS, unlocking opportunities for further education and skills. This fosters self-confidence and enables meaningful contributions to their families and communities.

Healthcare Project

Our Healthcare Program is dedicated to improving the lives of slum dwellers by providing access to essential health services and promoting overall well-being. Through regular health camps, awareness sessions, and preventive care initiatives, we address common health issues and  encourage healthy lifestyle practices. The program aligns with the  UN SDG Goal #3 – Good Health and Well-Being, by striving to reduce health disparities and ensure equitable access to healthcare. Our efforts aim to create healthier, more resilient communities for a better future.

Skill Development

Our Skill Development and Livelihood Empowerment program focuses on equipping young people and women with market-relevant skills to enhance their employability and economic independence. Through vocational training, entrepreneurship workshops, and mentorship, we prepare participants for full and productive employment, enabling them to secure decent work opportunities. By fostering self-reliance and financial stability, the program not only uplifts individuals but also benefits their families and communities. This initiative supports the UN SDG Goal #8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Women Empowerment

The Centre empowers our women to live a dignified life. Our centre provides strong support to the Victims of domestic violence and abuse through legal awareness, counselling, and aid, coupled with rehabilitation via vocational training in Computer Applications, Beauty Culture, and Cutting & Tailoring. It acts as a transformative force, driving underprivileged women’s social, economic, and legal empowerment. By fostering micro-enterprises and entrepreneurship through Self-Help Groups (SHGs), We cultivate self-reliance and independence. Additionally, it extends its impact to adult education and health initiatives, ensuring holistic support for community development and resilience.

Shanti Sahyog Centre for Non-Violence (CFN)

The Centre for Nonviolence India (CFN), a unit of Shanti Sahyog, is an emerging think tank and advocacy organization dedicated to advancing Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of a Nonviolent World Order. CFN strives to foster public awareness of nonviolence as essential knowledge for human survival. Its initiatives promote nonviolent conflict resolution, peace education, and citizen diplomacy through impactful programs in India and abroad. By championing these efforts, CFN actively contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #16, focused on peace, justice, and strong institutions.

Amrita Sawhney Co - ordinator

I have been working as a Coordinator at our Tughlakabad Village Centre for over 8 years. I had no prior experience when I joined the organization, but I learned a lot under the guidance of my mentor, which has helped me grow in my career. Here, I truly understood the meaning of women’s empowerment. The organization runs impactful projects to support children’s futures and uplift women.

Priyanka Sharma Mobilizer

I have been working with Shanti Sahyog for over 12 years, and I feel good being part of this organization. It has provided me with a learning platform. I mobilize community members by going door to door and conducting awareness camps, especially for women and children, to educate them about their rights and skill development programs. The best part of our work is empowering women with knowledge about their rights and helping them become independent. Shanti Sahyog teaches us how to empower ourselves and others.

Shila Yadav Teacher

Shanti Sahayog has been a turning point in my life, offering me the opportunity to become independent and providing exposure that nurtured my holistic growth. Over last 11 year great journey with NGO. It opened doors to financial freedom and empowered me to work with greater efficiency. I introduced a culture of engaging activities, making learning fun and meaningful. Taking students to competitions at colleges and NGOs broadened their horizons, while interactions with officials enriched their experiences. The bond I share with my students is my greatest reward—their love keeps them rooted here, just as their growth inspires me every day.

Sangeeta Nirmal Manager Basic IT (Applications)

I have been working at Shanti Sahyog for over 10 years as a Computer Instructor. It's a long period, of course, but I earned my students, and their regular growth inspires me every day. My success lies in seeing them get placed and earn. Shanti Sahyog has helped me grow and utilize my potential. In these years, I have l earned so many things, but one thing I always share, which helps me grow every day, is that with my students and their different capabilities and interests, I designed my course structure according to my student's needs, which helped me evolve as a great teacher to them. I want to light my students' path as I go along with Shanti Sahyog

Bimla Kumari Manger Cutting & Tailoring Programe

I have been working with Shanti Sahyog NGO for seven years as a Cutting and Tailoring Instructor. During this time, I have empowered many women facing challenges due to a lack of education and awareness. Through our skill development programs, they gained confidence, independence, and the ability to earn. Many have secured jobs, while others have successfully started their own boutiques. I feel blessed to serve the community and help women achieve financial stability.

Saba Khan Help Desk Counselor

Over the past year at Shanti Sahayog, I’ve stood up for domestic violence survivors, offering legal aid, mediation, and spreading awareness. Despite societal challenges, the constant support of Dr. Suman Ma’am, Advocate Swati Saxena, and my amazing team kept me going. From POCSO to child marriages, every case strengthened my mission—to turn victims into survivors and help them reclaim their dignity and independence.

Taniya Intern

As a Shanti Sahyog intern, I actively contributed to community development initiatives, assisted in educational programs for underprivileged children, and participated in awareness campaigns. My role involved teaching, organizing activities, and engaging with the community to promote social welfare and empowerment, enhancing my skills in social work and outreach.

Daney Mathew Thomas Intern

During my internship at Shanti Sahyog NGO, I participated in programs focused on community development, contributed to educational and healthcare efforts, and aided in initiatives aimed at empowering women. My responsibilities involved planning events, performing research, and engaging with marginalized communities, offering me meaningful practical experience in social work and grassroots impact.

Imrose Intern

The Shanti Sahyog centre for women has been doing a commendable job in helping empower domestic violence survivors through legal aid and vocational training. Saba Khan and Swati Saxena have been inspiring supervisors in their ethos. Strengthening grievance redressal and improving planning and coordination will do the organisation a favour by reducing gaps that prevent holistic community outreach
