EDUCATION
SHED is committed to delivering quality, inclusive education to children, women, and youth from underprivileged communities, fostering social, educational, and economic empowerment. Through a lifecycle approach—from early childhood care to skill development and adult literacy—SHED addresses barriers that lead to poverty, school dropouts, and social exclusion. SHED transforms the lives of 25,000 beneficiaries annually, over 20 lakh to date, empowering children, youth, and women through pre-primary and primary education, vocational training, adult literacy, scholarships, nutrition support, modern science labs, upgraded Anganwadis, and access initiatives that reduce dropouts and build brighter futures.
HEALTH
We aim to provide inclusive and affordable healthcare to underserved rural and tribal communities through sustainable CSR health interventions. In 2022, a Rural Medical Centre was established to deliver quality healthcare services to tribal populations. In 2023, the Government Primary Health Center at Saphale and two sub-PHCs in Sonave and Darshet were upgraded with infrastructure support, medical equipment, diagnostics, and essential medicines. To date, over 10 lakh beneficiaries have received healthcare services, including children, rural women, anaemic tribal women, and high-risk groups through preventive care, hygiene awareness, and regular medical support.
Safety
Our Women and Child Safety Program advances gender equality, child protection, and peaceful communities in line with SDGs 5 (Gender Equality) and 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). S.H.E.D. operates a 4,000 sq. ft. Community Safety Centre in Saphale, Maharashtra, reaching 92 villages and over 2 lakh people, alongside support centres in Mumbai and Palghar. The program addresses domestic violence, child abuse, and harassment through counselling, legal awareness, self-defense training, youth engagement, and access to government protection and welfare schemes, benefiting over 25 lakh individuals to date
Environment Sustainability
We strive to strengthen the Earth’s capacity to sustain life through sustainable environmental initiatives. Our programs focus on tree plantation, water conservation, renewable energy, and sanitation in underserved communities. To date, we have planted 5 lakh trees, built 44,000 low-cost toilets in tribal areas, and installed rooftop rainwater harvesting systems in 2,000 homes. Our efforts include waste management training, solar and biogas promotion, drinking water infrastructure, and water wheels for women, improving livelihoods, public health, and climate resilience.
Empowering Livelihood
Our Skill Training and Livelihood Development Program promotes inclusive economic growth and decent work in alignment with SDG 8, PMKVY, and NRLM. The program equips women and marginalized communities with employable skills, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship training to enhance income security. Community-based production units annually produce and distribute 5 lakh sanitary napkins, creating sustainable livelihoods. To date, 5,000 women have received financial literacy training, 1,000 have accessed savings and credit linkages, and hundreds are trained annually in market-oriented skills, benefiting over 50,000 rural community members.
Disaster Management
Our Disaster Management and Emergency Response Program aligns with Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, addressing disaster relief, rehabilitation, and resilience building. During the COVID-19 pandemic, vulnerable groups—including migrants, elderly persons, unemployed families, and tribal communities in Mumbai and Palghar—faced acute food and health insecurity. We responded by distributing 10,000 dry ration kits providing over 30 lakh meals, supplying hygiene kits and masks, conducting health awareness campaigns, supporting plasma donation drives, and offering skill training to restore livelihoods and strengthen post-disaster recovery
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
MRS. BILKEES I. LATIF
S.H.E.D.was formed in October 1982, in Bombay, by Begum Bilkees Latif. S.H.E.D. has worked for over 41 years in the Mumbai slums through 5 vocational training centres: Kalina, Dharavi, Andheri, Sagbaugand Jogeshwari When a lady ward visited Dharavi, the largest Asian slum in 1982, she went through a horrifying experience with over ninety of the Dadas and asked what future they planned for their youth apart from their criminal activities. A local goon picked up a stray cat, then twisted its neck, just to frighten the lady ward Every Dharavi street was ruled by a “Dada”.
