Dear friends and supporters,
I am honored to welcome you to the website of Navsarjan, Xavier’s Cell for Human Development (NXCHD), a non-profit organization dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of people in Surat, Gujarat. We work tirelessly to address a range of critical issues, from education and healthcare to women's empowerment and the well-being of marginalized communities.
Surat, a city of immense potential, also faces challenges that leave many behind. We at NXCHD believe that everyone deserves a chance to thrive. Our mission is to empower individuals and communities, break cycles of poverty, and build a brighter future for all.
Our Focus Areas:
- Education: We believe education is the foundation for a better life. We work to ensure children from underprivileged backgrounds have access to quality education, opening doors to opportunity and breaking the cycle of poverty.
- Slum Upliftment: We work with residents of Surat's slums to improve living conditions, sanitation, and access to basic necessities. We also empower slum dwellers through livelihood development programs.
- Healthcare: We strive to ensure everyone in Surat has access to affordable and essential healthcare services. We organize medical camps, promote awareness about preventive healthcare, and support access to vital medications.
- Women Empowerment: We believe in the power of women to transform their communities. Through our programs, we equip women with skills, knowledge, and resources to become self-sufficient and leaders in their communities.
- Rag Pickers and Street Children: These vulnerable populations face exploitation and neglect. We provide them with support, education, and opportunities to break free from poverty and lead dignified lives.
- Adolescent Development: We understand the unique challenges faced by adolescents. We offer them guidance, counseling, and skill development programs to help them navigate this critical stage of life.
- Credit Co-operative Societies: We believe access to microfinance is essential for empowering individuals and families. We support the creation and sustainability of credit co-operatives, providing financial resources to those who need them most.
