Established in 1988 and located in Panchkula, Haryana, Foundation for Survival of Women and Children (SWACH), a distinguished national NGO stands as a beacon of hope for women and children across India.
Embarking on a journey across the life spectrum, from the cradle to the silver years, SWACH embraces a mission to accelerate reductions in maternal, neonatal, and child mortality rates and improve quality of survival. Our dedication lies in amplifying the reach of evidence-based interventions, ensuring quality and equity in every facet of health care provision.
In our pursuit, we evaluate programs rigorously, with a spotlight on the vitality of women, children and adolescents. Additionally, we spearhead implementation science research endeavours and collaborate with national and international entities, fuelling innovation and knowledge dissemination.
As a pivotal intermediary, SWACH fosters alliances between national and international organizations vested in community health, catalysing a network of scientific inquiry and practical solutions.
To enhance the well-being of communities, with a keen emphasis on women, newborns, children and adolescents through a holistic approach spanning preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative measures within primary health care.

SWACH operates from its expansive 1.8-acre campus, which features a residential cum training centre, alongside well-equipped workstations and conference halls.
