The Social problem :

Mumbai has many poor senior citizens, women, and young people living in areas like Dharavi, Mankhurd, and Chembur. Older people struggle with diabetes, blood pressure, arthritis, poor vision, and mental health problems, but they cannot always afford doctor visits or medicines. This leads to worse health and more suffering. Many young people, especially women, cannot find good jobs because they lack skills, guidance, digital knowledge, and exposure to work. Financial problems, family duties, and social limits make it even harder. Without help, these people will continue to face poor health, unemployment, and a life of hardship.

The Social solution:

Shield Foundation works to improve health and livelihoods in Mumbai's underserved communities. We provide free medical OPDs, physiotherapy, mental health support, eye care, home care, nutrition support, and health awareness for senior citizens. These services help with early diagnosis, treatment, and better daily living. For women and youth, we offer job-linked skill training in GDA Nursing, BFSI, ITES, and BPO. The programme includes technical skills, digital literacy, spoken English, life skills, on-the-job training, and placement support through 100+ employer partners. With strong partnerships and regular tracking, we create better health, employability, and income for families.
