WASH
MTF’S partnership with India’s well known initiative entities is focused on supporting the Government of India’s flagship programmes Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) by offering expertise in planning, implementation, capacity building, and monitoring. UNICEF’s involvement in water and sanitation programmes has been instrumental in expanding access to household toilets and safely managed drinking water to millions of households across the nation. With your support, we enabled access to safely managed water services to 2 crore people in 14 states while 50 lakh people were sensitised on menstrual hygiene. Provided 44 lakh people with access to household toilets whereas approx. 1 lakh villages were declared open defecation-free. Collaboration and convergence are a vital feature of the Country Programme in India, where WASH is positioned as cross-cutting support contributing towards results in all aspects of a child’s survival, growth and development. The programmed initiative is also positioned to prevent malnutrition and preventable diseases, reduce neonatal mortality, and improve education outcomes. MTF supports WASH in health care facilities and district-wide WASH interventions, supporting planning and implementation and incorporating behaviour change into state and national guidelines and costed plans. To support lagging states and districts, our donors partnerships along with the initiative. Organisations currently works in 16 states and 192 districts, technically supports the Government, assists in alternative service delivery approaches, and mobilises public institutions and partners, including the private sector, around WASH services. Our support has expanded its programme from rural to urban areas, where the urban poor are often left out of the sanitation equation.

Nutrition
Our support to the Governments nutrition interventions to improve food and feeding practices. We train resource groups to reach last-mile locations and counsel communities on locally available, nutrient-dense affordable foods for young children. To prevent child wasting in underperforming districts, our partnerships suggested decentralising wasting management to the community level. This enabled us overall to expand community-based services numbered to 314 taluks & districts (2024). Through our community-based programs, we identified and enrolled 5.8 lakh severely wasted children. Malnutrition is both generational and cyclical. In other words, poor nutrition on the mother’s part will also be passed down to her baby. Thus, nutrition programmes aim to prevent maternal, adolescent, and child malnutrition in all its forms. To do this successfully, prevention comes first in all contexts. If prevention fails, early detection and treatment of children are imperative. In the spirit of starting early, a crucial strategy to ensure optimal nutrition for children is promoting good Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices. These practices, including adequate breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and responsive care, are essential to prevent stunting and wasting in infancy and early childhood. Successful IYCF practices can prevent almost one-fifth of deaths in children under five years of age, promoting the overall growth and development of a baby with long-lasting benefits – from birth to adolescence and adulthood. Works in some of India’s most vulnerable places to reach disadvantaged children, ensure their thriving, defend their right to nutrition and well-being, and help them fulfil their potential. Every day, we work for every child, adolescent, and woman in as many communities as possible, to build a better nation for everyone. And we never give up. Placing nutrition first is crucial in ensuring our women, children, and girls move beyond merely surviving to thrive truly.

Education
MTF PARTNERSHIPS with the help of government and partners strives to improve education for children and adolescents. We focus on improving equitable access for children towards learning and skill development opportunities in a safe and inclusive learning environment. WE have voiced the support of the Government of India’s plans for creating data-driven policies, enhancing the quality of early education, promoting and help increase overall support for education. Our donor partnerships have helped to identify and transition 7 lakh out-of-school children to formal education. MTF PARTNERSHIP is working closely with the Government of India, state governments in 17 states, civil society, academic institutions and private sector. While primary engagement will be with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Women and Child Development, more involvement with ministries of Tribal, Minority and Social Justice Departments, Disaster Management Authorities will be essential especially in terms of ensuring the delivery of quality education to the most marginalised children which forms the centre of our work. To achieve the outcome – Girls and boys, particularly the most disadvantaged, participate in quality education with learning outcomes at grade appropriate levels by 2023.
The programmeThe following intermediate outcomes have been identified:
1.) Number of out-of-school children reduced in nine high concentration states
2.) Increased enrolment of children in early childhood education programmes
3.) Improved enabling environment for learning in selected states.
MATERNAL HEALTH Every month, 2,500 women in India suffers the devastating impact of pregnancy-related issues and childbirth. Maternal health is pivotal for community well-being. Urgent attention is imperative to address persisting challenges, ensuring safe pregnancies, and preventing avoidable loss of lives. Although we have reduced maternal mortality from 130/lakh live births (2016) to 97/lakh live births (2020), maternal mortality remains a pressing concern. working together with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD), NITI Aayog, and state governments to help plan, budget, create policies, build skills, monitor progress, and generate awareness. Our focus is on ensuring effective maternal health care services, especially for high-risk pregnant women and those in hard-to-reach, vulnerable, and socially disadvantaged communities.
MTF PARTNERSHIPs assists the Government of India in implementing various initiatives, including:
“Reaching Every Mother” Initiative: Ensuring every delivery is attended by skilled health care providers in healthcare facilities.
Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA): Providing comprehensive and quality antenatal care on the 9 th of every month, contributing to the reduction of maternal deaths and MMR.
Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK): Offering free maternity services, emergency referral systems, and maternal death audits to enhance governance and management of health services. India is steadily advancing on the track to achieve the sustainable development goal of reducing the maternal mortality ratio to less than 70/1 lakh live births by 2030.
CHILD PROTECTION
MTF PARTNERSHIPS works to strengthen the systems that prevent and respond to violence against children and ensure children’s access to justice. We also emphasise behavioural change programmes and community engagement as a means to transform harmful practices. Nearly 20 lakh women and children received enhanced gender- sensitive protective services with technical support from major world organisations, including over 1.3 lakh children rescued from or at risk of labour and trafficking. Progress has been made in generating social awareness, enhancing legislation and nurturing action towards ending violence, abuse and exploitation of children, but more needs to be done to ensure survivors and their families benefit from sensitive, timely and efficient protection and services. Working with the government to provide well- established family-based alternative care options for children without parental care. Our relentless focus is on services to prevent separation of children from families and on rehabilitative services for deinstitutionalised children and care leaving youth. We take a broad view of the range of support services that provide healing to victims/survivors and their families including focus on counselling, restorative justice programmes, support for school continuation, employment and social protection. Priority is given to promoting social protection programmes which incentivise the reduction of child labour and child marriage. Working in coordination with the Government of India, 15 state governments, and civil society organisations, We are creating the building blocks of a child protection system, including financial and human resources, financial institutions, delivery of programmes and monitoring and evaluation. MTF and its India partners are working together to ensure that children are protected from work and exploitation, which is harmful to their development. They are working to ensure that children remain in economically stable family homes and get the opportunity to go to school and be educated. We join hands with government, civil society organisations and other partners in building communities and families where children are safe and free of abuse and exploitation.

OUR IMPACT
Supporting local economies OUR Charitable donations can help create jobs and boost local economies. For example, supporting non-profits that focus on education and training can improve job prospects, which can lead to higher living standards and increased economic activity. Alleviating suffering Charity can help alleviate suffering and human crises within and between communities. For example, supporting safe drinking water in the poorest communities can stimulate the economy and bring life-changing benefits to individuals and their caregivers. Fostering empathy and compassion Our Charitable acts can help people understand the struggles of those less fortunate, which can lead to a more compassionate society. When people see others giving and making a positive impact, it can inspire them to do the same, creating a ripple effect of kindness
1.) Modelling values.
2.) Charity can be a selfless act that models values of generosity and selflessness to children. Children who see their parents helping charities are more likely to continue to give and help as adults themselves.
3.) Unifying people.
4.) In a country that values unity, donating to charity can be a unifying force that reminds people of their shared humanity.
5.) Donating to MTF helps to foster a sense of community and social responsibility. It allows us as an organisation to contribute to the common good of society and become part of a larger community. Community fundraising is a great way to bring people together and create a shared sense of purpose.
A world in which all people have unparalleled experiences & pathways to education, health and opportunity
