In September of 2023 I had the honor of visiting Sukarya, one of our organizational members, in Delhi and Gurugram, India. For over 25 years Sukarya has been providing services at the truly grassroots level in the slums and villages where populations are forgotten, ignored, or are simply too difficult to reach.
Sukarya's holistic programs include healthcare, nutrition, gender equality, women empowerment, and education. I was able to visit several of these programs and experienced first-hand this amazing and crucial work. You can read about Sukarya on their website at Sukarya.org.
I was also able to sit and have an inciteful and personal conversation with Sukarya’s Founder and Chairperson, Meera Satpathy. Meera created Sukarya because she saw how the slum populations were not receiving the support they needed, especially healthcare. Since the day it was founded in 1998, Sukarya's programs have helped more than 7 million people in over 760 villages and 190 slums.
Meera is a force of nature. She is full of charisma, wisdom, and insightfulness. I know you will enjoy this episode of GlobalWA Goalmakers.
