A Bhopal society that has stayed with its communities since 2000.
Towards improved access to health, education and livelihood opportunities, with better environment conditions.
Our story
The society was registered in Bhopal on 4 April 2000 as Sushree Pratibha Educational Welfare Society and took its present name, Pratibha Foundation, on 17 February 2017.
We began with health and awareness camps in colleges, schools, old-age homes and slum settlements of Bhopal. From 2017 our work moved towards livelihood, with a survey of women artisans in Raisen district that grew into a government-approved craft cluster.
Our bylaws allow us to work anywhere in India. Today we are active in Bhopal and Raisen districts of Madhya Pradesh.
What our bylaws commit us to
- Education: schooling for rural boys and girls, technical and vocational education for youth and adults, education for women.
- Livelihood: training centres that make women and men self-reliant; promotion of handicraft and folk arts.
- Health: support to national health programmes, awareness on AIDS and cancer, de-addiction work.
- Environment: awareness and action to improve the environment.
- Social welfare: support for persons with disabilities, the elderly, women in need and disadvantaged communities.

A family moves forward when its women earn, its children learn and its elders are cared for. We are a small organisation and we prefer to stay with one community for years, doing work that people can see, visit and check.
