Sangath Foundation
Implementation research foundation pioneering task-shared mental health interventions delivered through community health workers in low-resource settings.
Reducing maternal mortality through last-mile referral systems and emergency obstetric training.
Founded in 2003, Sangath Foundation brings together a federated network of community-rooted partners into a single coalition focused on the slow, structural work of reducing preventable maternal deaths.
Our theory of change rests on three pillars: (i) emergency obstetric capacity at the facility level, (ii) reliable referral logistics that move women from village to facility within the obstetric “golden hour,” and (iii) community-level recognition of danger signs that prompts action before complications turn fatal.
Across 41prior grants from bilateral, multilateral, and philanthropic donors, we've supported nearly 320,000 deliveries and reduced maternal mortality in our partner districts by approximately 31% against pre-programme baselines.
