Sukarya is a non-government development organization working on issues affecting the urban and rural poor in Haryana, with a special focus on health, since 1999. It was formally registered in 2001. For the past 10 years, we have been working in the urban slums of Gurgaon and have also made inroads into rural development in the state of Haryana. With a humble start in 1999, Sukarya has seen a continuous growth in staff, beneficiaries and fields. We have a rare combination of volunteers with spiritual and emotional commitment and knowledgeable professionals. Initially, our one line statement of purpose was “Better health-better society“. Upon expansion, Sukarya has actively been undertaking various advocacy based curative and preventive health projects. Further, we have been involved in various life skills programs for women and adolescents and income generation activities. IEC campaigns focusing on nutrition, hygiene, sanitation and reproductive health are conducted regularly to improve the general health status in the rural areas and urban slums. Sukarya additionally provides humanitarian assistance in times of natural calamities.
Our vision is in achieving sound health for the poorest sections of the society, especially women, adolescents and children by not just providing access to health care but empowering them to create a healthy society through promotion of efficacious and affordable methods of disease prevention. We particularly seek to empower the women and children for ‘Behtar Swasthya Behtar Samaj’.
