Society For Action in Community Health

What Society For Action in Community Health does

Society For Action in Community Health (SACH) is a non-profit society registered in 1988 under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, headquartered in Noida with a registered office in New Delhi. The organization delivers community-based healthcare, sanitation, education, climate-action, and livelihood programs to rural and underserved populations across nine Indian states — Punjab, Meghalaya, Kerala, Odisha, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura, Mizoram, and Haryana — through a network of Village Development Committees, Self-Help Groups, Mobile Health Units, and program staff. Its flagship service line is the Sansvitha Centre in Thalayazham-Vaikom, Kerala, which provides integrated care for individuals with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders using a multidisciplinary protocol that combines physiotherapy, speech therapy, Ayurveda, Unani, Panchkarma, and AR/VR-based therapy. Complementary programs include Mobile Health Units (25,000 treatments annually in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh), WASH infrastructure (1,300 household toilets in Odisha, sanitation facilities in 75 government schools in Tripura impacting 19,000+ students), solar street lighting and afforestation in Meghalaya, and e-waste management with Mercedes-Benz India.

The underlying technology stack is modest and operationally focused rather than platform-driven: an online donation platform at www.sachindia.org integrated with PayU and CCAvenue payment gateways, supported by digital channels (Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest) for fundraising and awareness, alongside AR/VR therapy hardware deployed at Sansvitha. There is no public-facing API, SDK, or developer integration; mobile delivery is via equipped MHU vans rather than a software product. AI/ML capabilities are not described in the available data.

SACH's revenue model is non-commercial and depends entirely on charitable inflows: individual donations (eligible for 50% tax deduction under Section 80G), corporate CSR grants from partners including Mercedes-Benz India, OPGC, HDFC, LIC HFL, Stop Hunger Now, Kraft Heinz and Paymentology, and government/development-bank project grants such as the Indo-German WASCA initiative with the Ministry of Rural Development and Jal Shakti and GIZ. FCRA registration enables foreign contributions. Pricing is not applicable — no products or services are sold commercially. Customer segments are non-paying beneficiaries (rural communities, government-school students, individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders), while paying counterparties are institutional funders and donors, making the organization's financial model grant-dependent rather than revenue-generating.
