Healing communities, building hope
Free healthcare for the underprivileged
From rural villages to urban slums, we deliver medical care, health education and preventive support to those left behind.
Our mission & vision
Save The Breath Foundation was born from a simple belief: healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. We envision an India where every child, mother and elderly citizen has access to quality medical services, hygiene education and the tools to lead a healthy life.
Our mission is to deliver sustainable healthcare solutions that break the cycle of poverty, reduce preventable disease and empower communities to take charge of their own health. Our vision is a future where no one is left behind by the healthcare system.
Why health — the challenge
India's economic strides have been remarkable, yet stark health disparities persist:
- Malnutrition: Nearly 38% of children under five are stunted; 19.3% are wasted.
- Maternal health: India accounts for 12% of global maternal deaths.
- Sanitation & hygiene: Over 600 million people still lack access to basic sanitation.
- Mental health: Fewer than 15% of those in need receive any form of mental health support.
Our approach
We believe holistic, community-led healthcare is the only path to lasting change.
Integrated
We combine medical camps with nutrition, hygiene education and livelihood support.
Participatory
Local health workers, teachers and volunteers co-design and run every programme.
Data-driven
Regular monitoring and impact evaluation guide where resources go next.
Sustainable
We train local health champions and partner with government clinics for continuity.
