SNEH Foundation

What SNEH Foundation does

SNEH Foundation is a Pune, India-based non-governmental organization founded in 2011 by pediatrician Dr. Pankaj Bohra and a group of changemakers to address interconnected issues of malnutrition, illiteracy, and maternal/child health in marginalized urban-slum communities of Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). The foundation operates a portfolio of five direct-delivery programs across education, health, and nutrition: SNEH Community Preschools (5 sites serving 400+ children with an RTE 25% enrollment pathway to mainstream ICSE/CBSE schools), COMAL malnutrition intervention applying the UNICEF/WHO-endorsed Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) model across 11 PCMC slum pockets, Project Vatsalya for maternal/adolescent girl health across 7 corporation schools, a Community Mental Health Project, and a Mobile Medical Van launched in partnership with Version 1 in September 2023. The organization reports impacting 10,000+ children and mothers across 15 communities since inception.

Operationally, SNEH Foundation holds the full suite of Indian non-profit compliance registrations required for institutional fundraising — 12A, 80G, FCRA, CSR-1, NGO Darpan, and PAN — and is governed by a Board of Trustees, an Advisory Board, and a Governing Body composed primarily of IT/services professionals and clinicians. The foundation monetizes exclusively through philanthropic channels: individual donations (website, bank transfer, online payment), multi-year CSR grants from corporate partners (with Tata Motors and Wipro Cares as anchor funders), and in-kind corporate contributions; no fees are charged to beneficiaries. Key recent recognition includes First Prize at the 5th Glenmark Nutrition Awards (Urban NGO category, February 2025) and Tata Motors' Excellence in CSR Project Implementation 2021-22.

The foundation has no proprietary technology platform; program execution relies on conventional community-health methodologies, government Anganwadi/ICDS integration, and a WordPress-based public website for donor engagement. Operating geography remains concentrated in Pune and PCMC, with episodic pan-India humanitarian relief (notably during COVID-19).
