Anahita, the Persian goddess of Flowing Water and Fertility, brought upon Earth the goodness of life, cleanliness, health and prosperity. Ancient civilizations flourished by the banks of rivers and on sea ports, waterways built in the cities allowed for sanitary living conditions, and made cultivation possible. As ancient man started depending on agriculture, using and understanding water better and using it better in his everyday life, humankind flourished, building new landmarks of prosperity, and civilization all over the globe. And thus, “Anahita” in Sanskrit meaning the nurturer of food, crops and herds, the giver, doing good for others. In modern times, we have been able to clone babies, but nothing has been able to clone and produce water in the test tube. Life on Mars or any other planet is sort by finding traces of water, so where there is water, there is a possibility of life. Our NGO, named after the Goddess Anahita, also follows the principals of flowing water. It flows into places that are parched and barren, helping to heal people, mend their lives and livelihood, and make a dent in the prosperity of the area. Our primary focus being in facilitating healthcare and wellness, initiating medical care from the best hospitals and doctors in the country, taking care of mending the body, and then helping mend the mind and soul, by making better livelihoods. And thus our motto is “Helping to heal”.
As we move amongst rural areas and semi-urban sections of metro cities, we come across a cross section of women who need to be helped in more ways than we think. Healthcare amongst women being the most neglected, we strive to help them understand issues of personal hygiene, and female sanitation. Our idea is to empower women to look after themselves, and build themselves as a contributor to their family and themselves. In the process, we help shield them from issues faced by all our working women, in the form of sexual harassment, in the streets, by the family members and at the workplace, so that these women learn the wonderous world of living in dignity and fearlessness. From setting up micro business units making pickles and napkins, to training them to be healthcare assistants, Anahita is a women centric organization, backed by lawyers and visionaries who appreciate our work and our vision. Our endeavor is to shift away from the archaic sewing machine and create newer, more futuristic and better means of livelihood, that can give the woman not only a secure source of income in her place of domicile, but also benefit the local residents, largely, bringing a feeling of respect and dignity in earning a standard of living.... for more details go to contact us page
