The locality faces issues such as inadequate drainage facilities, poor road infrastructure, lack of organized garbage disposal systems, and unreliable water supply, lack of medical services. These deficiencies contribute to a substandard living environment for its residents.The community operates under a male-dominated culture, with many men and youth involved in the drug trade and consumption. A notable presence of Nigerian nationals is involved in the buying and selling of various substances, leading to concerns about safety and law enforcement. Additionally, a significant number of women, eunuchs and young girls work as prostitutes within the area and also travel to other parts of Mumbai. Many children and youth engage in rag-picking, to support basic need of the family at the expense of their education and well-being. Many of the children and youth are abused and gone missing.

| Beneficiary Description | Pragati Nagar in Nallasopara East, Mumbai, is a densely populated community facing severe socio-economic challenges. The area suffers from inadequate drainage, poor road infrastructure, unreliable water supply, limited medical services, and a lack of organized waste disposal, creating an unhealthy and unsafe living environment. The community is predominantly male-dominated, with many men and youth involved in the drug trade and consumption. A notable presence of foreign nationals engaged in buying and selling substances has raised concerns over safety and law enforcement. Women, eunuchs, and young girls face heightened vulnerability, with many involved in prostitution both locally and in other parts of Mumbai. Children and youth are often compelled to work as rag-pickers to support basic family needs, sacrificing their education and well-being. Many have never attended school, and cases of abuse, neglect, and missing children are common. The project aims to support these marginalized groups, focusing on education, protection, health, and empowerment to break cycles of poverty, exploitation, and neglect, and to create safer, healthier futures for the entire community. | ||||||||||||

| Project Description | Being densely packed, with common water taps and an impracticality of social distancing, seemed particularly vulnerable to the health and economic effects of the pandemic. With fewer alternative support and resources, these communities have greatly experienced a great burden on health, economy and on Children’s education. The slum communities we work with are families from the low income groups - daily wage labourers, sanitation workers, auto drivers, the daily wage labourers and those working in the informal sector and unorganized sectors. In keeping the safety and security of the beneficiaries, Oasis India is ensuring that these families have access to good nutrition, education, healthcare and essential services. | ||||||
