Apeksha

Because Only Together We Can

An exploitation free society, where everybody enjoys sustainable livelihood, education and right to security.

Who We Are

Apeksha Homoeo Society (AHS) is a registered voluntary organization working throughout Maharashtra especially in Vidarbha region on human rights, livelihoods and community development for over 40 years.

In the late 1970s, Dr. Madhukar Gumble formed a network of well-trained village health volunteers in 9 villages of Teosa block in Amravati district. Over the years, a multi-dimensional development approach was adopted by taking initiatives in righteous implementation of government schemes, livelihood, sanitation and safe drinking water, education, etc.

While recognising children as the primary stakeholder and centralising its programs and activities for establishing child rights, AHS also actively caters to the development of women in the areas of sustainable livelihood, rights to property and healthcare.

What We DO

Child rights & Protection

For a holistic development of children from under-privileged communities, AHS have facilitated a three-tier structure of a children collective – child groups, child parliament & child rights protection committees, from village to district level.

Women Empowerment

AHS promotes women’s collectives that provide economic, social and political independence to women. Single women including widows of farmer suicides are a primary focus of our activities and are receiving legal aid and counselling.

Sustainable Livelihood

We help rural communities improve their income by handholding in the setup of farm, non-farm and livestock based enterprises with technical knowledge, business planning, credit mobilization and market linkages.

Health, Water & Sanitation

We work towards strengthening social accountability of public health and social services through promotion of multi-sectoral community-based processes.

Humanitarian Response to Emergencies

Since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in India in March 2020, leading to a humanitarian crisis, our teams have been on the ground, tirelessly reaching out to those in need.
