Nai Zindagi: Transforming Lives through Nutrition and Education

At Nai Zindagi, we are committed to ensuring a healthier and brighter future for children less than five years of age by addressing malnutrition and providing pre-primary education. Through our structured programs, we work at the grassroots level to create awareness, provide essential nutrition, and empower communities to break the cycle of poverty and poor health.
