Project Melghat.
A rehabilitation programme bringing malnourished children back to health in one of Maharashtra's most affected regions.
A region the maps remember.
Melghat, in the Amravati district of Maharashtra, is a tribal belt that has carried some of the country's most persistent child-malnutrition numbers for decades. Remoteness, forest terrain, and limited access to health services make it one of the hardest places to reach, and one of the most important.
Project Melghat is our rehabilitation pilot: a focused effort to bring children already experiencing malnutrition back to a healthy weight and keep them there. It is deliberately small and measured, so every method is proven before it scales.
Recovery you can measure.
MUAC tracking
Mid-upper-arm circumference is measured for every child, a simple, reliable read on nutritional status that flags risk early.
Growth monitoring
Weight and height are followed over time, so recovery is a number on a chart, not a hope.
Caregiver engagement & nutrition support
Monthly nutrition plus close work with families turns short-term recovery into lasting health.
Because outcomes are tracked for every child, Melghat tells us what genuinely moves the needle, and that learning shapes everything we do next.
Bring a child back.
Around ₹208 a month, or ₹2,700 a year, supports one child's recovery in Melghat. Transparent, accountable, and 80G tax-exempt.
