Pehel Health Association: A Grassroots Movement Strengthening Rural Healthcare, Education & Women Empowerment Across India

Pehel Health Association

In many parts of India, the journey towards quality healthcare, education, and social empowerment begins with a single step — a pehel.

Pehel Health Association, a registered Section 8 Non-Profit Organisation, embodies this very spirit. Founded in 2022, the NGO has emerged as a committed force working across rural India to bridge gaps in healthcare, uplift women and children, promote education, and build a socially empowered ecosystem.

Today, Pehel Health Association operates actively in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, and Rajasthan, impacting underserved communities with sustainable programs designed for long-term change.

A Mission Rooted in Rural India’s Real Needs

Pehel Health Association was established with a clear vision: to create a society where every person is healthy, educated, empowered, and self-reliant.

The organisation focuses on bringing essential services to villages — places where development is still slow, resources are limited, and access to healthcare and education remains a challenge. Through structured initiatives, awareness campaigns, and community partnerships, Pehel is transforming rural lives from the ground up.

Core Mission Pillars

• Strengthen rural healthcare through awareness, check-ups, vaccinations, and preventive programs

• Empower women socially, economically, and medically

• Support adolescent girls with hygiene, nutrition, and life skills

• Promote education and skill development among youth

• Build self-reliant communities through livelihood training

• Encourage environmental responsibility, cleanliness, and water conservation

Our Vision: A Healthy, Self-Reliant India

Pehel envisions a future where development does not remain restricted to cities. A future where every rural family is healthy, every young person is skilled, and every woman feels empowered to shape her own future.

This vision guides every program, ensuring that growth reaches the last mile.
