About MEHER

A local organisation for
local realities.

Our story

Established in 2003 by a group of committed young people.

MEHER was established in March 2003 and formally registered in February 2005. It emerged from a shared youth commitment to serve communities whose basic needs and rights were being overlooked.

Since then the organisation has grown from volunteer-led local action into a partner of national institutions and international agencies, while keeping its decision-making close to the villages it serves.

We work for development and empowerment through participatory grassroots interventions — safeguarding basic human rights, providing essential needs and helping eliminate gender inequalities.

Vision

A society where every person enjoys health, education and dignity regardless of gender, income or origin.

Mission

Enhancing lives of marginalized and oppressed communities through participatory, rights-based grassroots work.

Mandate

Health, education, human rights and gender equality, with emergency relief when communities are hit by disaster.

Our approach

Local insight.
Lasting change.

Communities aren't beneficiaries — they're partners. Every initiative begins with listening, builds on local strengths and aims for dignity, ownership and sustainable results.

01

Listen

Understand needs, risks and local knowledge before designing anything.

02

Co-create

Design solutions with community organisations, women's groups and local government.

03

Act

Deliver with care, transparent procurement and documented accountability to donors.

04

Sustain

Hand over assets to trained caretakers so services keep working after the project closes.

Milestones

Twenty-three years, one direction.
