Nourish. Educate. Innovate. Empower.
She nourishes the world. We nourish her, through health, learning, skills and community.
Mazanya works where nutrition, health, education and empowerment meet. Every programme has one overarching purpose: women and girls who are healthy, confident and free to shape their own destiny.
Health & Nutrition
“Poshan se hi shakti hai, aur shakti se hi parivartan.”
Without consistent, nutrient-dense calories, children cannot concentrate in school, and mothers cannot sustain their livelihoods. Our flagship MAA Rasoi community kitchens provide fresh, piping-hot meals prepared with seasonal vegetables, pulses, and micronutrient fortification.
- ✓ MAA Rasoi Kitchens: Daily hot, balanced meals in Sector 25 & Maloya.
- ✓ Fortified Dry Ration Hampers: Grains, lentils, iodized salt, and cooking oil for vulnerable families.
- ✓ BMI & Stunting Clinics: Regular pediatric and maternal growth checkups.
Support for Mothers & Girls
“Pehle hazaar din, maa aur bachhe ki zindagi ki buniyaad.”
The first 1,000 days—from the beginning of pregnancy to a baby's 2nd birthday—shape a child's entire cognitive potential and immune system. Through our First 1,000 Days & Swasth Nari protocols, we ensure no mother faces pregnancy malnourished or alone.
- ✓ Mother Care Hamper: Iron-folic acid, protein powder, calcium, prenatal vitamins, clean hygiene kit.
- ✓ Swasth Nari Period Health: Safe biodegradable pad access & breaking menstrual taboos for teenage girls.
- ✓ Lactation & Post-Natal Counsel: Certified community midwives guiding safe nursing and infant immunization.
STEM Education for Girls
“Rasoi se lab tak: har ladki mein ek scientist hai.”
Science shouldn't belong only to elite private academies. Our Nanaki Jyot STEM Initiative transforms community rooms and government school benches into hands-on innovation labs where girls build breadboard circuits, investigate chemical reactions using kitchen ingredients, and write their first code.
- ✓ Hands-On Science Toolkits: 50+ experiential experiments linking kitchen physics to biology.
- ✓ Digital Literacy & Coding: Logic building, basic Python, and cyber-safety for adolescent girls.
- ✓ Dhiyaan Di Udaan Scholarships: Higher secondary coaching fees for aspiring women engineers & doctors.
Community & Youth Movements
“Ek aawaz kamzor ho sakti hai, poora samaj nahi.”
Lasting social transformation requires the whole community's endorsement. We train local college students and neighbourhood women to lead awareness campaigns on nutrition, early marriage prevention, hygiene, and domestic safety.
- ✓ Campus Youth Chapters: Student volunteers running weekend learning and food drives.
- ✓ Charpai Dialogues: Intimate courtyard conversations with mothers and community elders.
- ✓ Men & Boys As Allies: Workshops fostering positive masculinity and shared domestic responsibility.
Kitchen Gardens & Millets
“Ghar ka aangan, poshan ka saadhan.”
Rather than relying solely on subsidized grains, we give families the seeds, tools, and training to produce green micronutrients at home. We also champion the revival of indigenous millets (ragi, bajra, kangni) which thrive on minimal water and pack 3x more calcium and iron than polished rice.
- ✓ Micro-Garden Starter Kits: High-yield spinach, moringa, coriander, chili, and tomato seeds.
- ✓ Desi Millets Revival: Free starter millet grains and regional recipe demonstrations.
- ✓ Backyard Composting: Turning household kitchen scraps into organic nutrient-rich soil.
Women’s Livelihoods
“Jab woh kamaati hai, poora ghar aage badhta hai.”
When a woman holds independent earnings in her hand, she spends 90% of it directly on her children's food, health, and schooling. We empower mothers through vocational skills, artisan collectives, millet food processing, and seed capital micro-grants.
- ✓ Millet Processing Micro-Hubs: Producing healthy snacks, roasted grains, and packaged flour.
- ✓ Zero-Interest Seed Grants: Micro-funds to acquire sewing machines, ovens, or vending carts.
- ✓ Financial Literacy & UPI Training: Setting up personal Jan Dhan accounts and mobile banking.
