Who We Are

Sparsha Trust is a community based organization. It began its intervention by adopting 5 slum communities at various locations in Mumbai spread across 3 Municipal wards
- F North,M East and T ward. While interacting with the parents and children it was understood that these parents also care about the future of their children but lack the resources and opportunities to help their child grow. Sparsha works with parents who are illiterate or semi-literate migrant workers, daily wage workers, street hawkers etc.Each family is supported in various ways under one umbrella. Our programs not only impart awareness to these families but also support them in their day to day challenges which they face. Most of the families have a single earning member in the family, with many having more than 3 - 4 children whose education, health and nutrition needs are being fulfilled due to limited financial conditions. Due to financial compulsions, parents force their children to join the labour force and ultimately these children remain out of the formal education system. Sparsha took the challenge of changing the mindset of parents through continuous intervention with these parents and their children.
In the last 22 years Sparsha has impacted around 25000 children from 12000 families in 17 centers across different slum pockets in 3 Municipal wards in Mumbai. Sparsha works with 22 BMC schools to ensure enrollment of drop out children in the formal education system. Our aim in the near future is to spread its wings and widen its horizon to provide a helping hand to more and more disadvantaged children. During the ongoing pandemic Sparsha reached out to 300 + families in the intervention community areas by providing ration and daily essentials through conducting donation drives.
Sparsha’s three flagship programs are -

Raising Funds For

Organizations working on social issues emerge from collective effort by a group of like minded individuals who are committed and driven towards the cause. However, the challenges are foreseen and faced on how to accomplish the projects with limited resources and network which hinders the organization's growth and goals towards achieving their desired objectives. There is a constant effort to make an organization visible across various platforms, build strong networks for sustainable and impactful programs.


We support 100 families in each of our intervention areas. Each family is supported in various ways under one umbrella. Our programs not only impart awareness to these families but also support them in their day to day challenges which they face. Most of the families have a single earning member in the family, with many having more than 3 - 4 children whose education, health and nutrition needs are being fulfilled due to limited financial conditions. Many of the family heads are working as daily wage earners and with existing pandemic distress it has become even more challenging for them to meet their ends. Hence, in such a vulnerable situation the impact is directly reflected on a child's holistic development .We have over the period of pandemic witnessed various challenges in our intervention areas such as

1. Malnutrition amongst children due to lack of food at home
2. Anemia amongst adolescent girls
3. School and College dropouts due to financial shortage
4. Early marriage amongst girls
5. Digital divide and lack of mobile phones and data recharge for online education
6. Gender discrimination in terms of preference given to male child to attain online classes, while the female child is asked to take up household responsibilities.
7. Children getting into the workforce at an early age to support families.
8. Children have become emotionally vulnerable due to continuous poverty in their households and witness conflicts amongst members.
9. Children have been exposed to verbal , emotional and physical abuse due to pandemic setbacks and lack of positive parenting skills.

The above discussed challenges are some of the prominent issues which have emerged in recent times. Prioritizing where to allocate resources is a constant challenge for an organization with limited funding and network. The mammoth role of Sparsha working in community level intervention areas is tremendous.
