Founder Chairperson Sukarya Ms. Meera Satpathys Foundation Day message On this day in 1998, we took our first steps with passion, enthusiasm and determination to help and heal the health of women and children who were neglected and unattended in the unreached areas of Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan. The tasks were challenging, the obstacles were many but we stayed undaunted. Not only were we successful in providing a structured basic healthcare service to adolescent girls, young pregnant women and mothers, but we also tried to create a strong awareness through our various programs such as Hifazat – Improving Mother and Child Health through Specialised Clinics, KIRAN Project (Knowledge Based Intervention In Reproductive health Advocacy and Action) etc. We went still further by forming self-help groups that trained and taught those who we serve to earn and help themselves. We have come a long way and are well known as a credible and dedicated organization in the field of health and womens empowerment. We are also known for having an integrated developmental approach in the village of Mangar, Haryana. Informal education in well equipped mobile vans is our next step for the children in the slums and around construction sites in Delhi and Gurgaon. This new program is called Education on Wheels. We are proud to have IGEP Foundation as our first supporter for this pilot program and we are confident that more and more donors and partners will step in and help us in expanding this program. I believe that education is the only way to augment the understanding of more basic issues such as health, hygiene and sanitation without any cost involved. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our core volunteers, volunteers from all walks of life and different organizations, interns who opted to choose to work with us and my esteemed colleagues who have worked with me tirelessly. Further, without the organizations that support us and have faith in us, we could not have achieved what we have achieved. Finally, I would like to thank our brothers and sisters in the project areas, for serving whom we exist. Finally, I would like to say a few words about changes in the political structure in New Delhi. The election of Shri Narendra Modi has bought hope to the millions of underprivileged people in this country. His Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is a campaign that is in line with our aims and we are confident the campaign will highlight the work done by organizations such as Sukarya that work tirelessly towards improving the lives of the underprivileged. On this day, I ask you to renew your pledge to improving the conditions of the vulnerable sections of society. We are united and stand strong to pursue our task for a clear answer to our problems.
