In many parts of rural India, especially Gujarat, childhood is cut short by early marriage, lack of education, and poor healthcare. Boys and girls alike are affected — some are forced to drop out of school, take up adult responsibilities, or enter unsafe relationships before they are ready. At Sanvedana NGO, we’re on a mission to protect every child’s right to a safe, healthy, and educated life.

The Reality of Child Marriage — For Girls and Boys

Child marriage often affects girls more visibly, but boys suffer too. While girls are pushed into early motherhood, boys are expected to become earners before they’ve finished growing up. According to NFHS-5 data, child marriage remains a problem in Gujarat and across India. For both genders, it means a stolen childhood and a difficult future.

Health Risks and Lost Opportunities

Girls married young face higher maternal health risks, and their babies are often born underweight or undernourished. But boys face stress, mental health struggles, and limited life choices. Many leave school to support a family, cutting off their chance for higher education and a stable career. At Sanvedana, we work to stop this cycle by focusing on education, healthcare, and legal awareness. Whether it’s a 2-year-old in need of nutrition or a teenager dreaming of becoming an engineer or doctor, we’re here to help.

Our Impact in Gujarat: From Surat to Ahmedabad

We are proud to be recognized as one of the best NGOs in Gujarat, including cities like Surat and Ahmedabad. Our grassroots teams work directly in villages and slums to provide:
  1. Education Support: We help children of all genders stay in school, avoid early marriage, and dream bigger. We run learning centers, scholarship drives, and school enrollment campaigns.
  2. Health & Nutrition: Our 0–2 year child schemes provide essential care for infants and toddlers. We organize health camps, provide vaccinations, and distribute nutritious food to support early development.
  3. Community Awareness: We speak to families, conduct workshops, and use creative methods like street plays to explain why education and health are better investments than early marriage.
  4. Legal Intervention: We intervene in cases of planned child marriages and educate parents on the laws protecting children’s rights.
Working with Government Schemes
  • Vhali Dikri Yojana & Premal Yojana: Financial support for girls' education and future, which we help families access.
  • Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao: We extend this initiative to include boys as well — because boys, too, deserve protection and education.
  • ICDS & Janani Suraksha Yojana: We help mothers and newborns receive health support through these national schemes.
