Our Reach

Mangrove Ecosystems – Kendrapara

Along the Kendrapara coast, especially in Rajnagar, Pattamundai and Mahakalapada, Chale Chalo works with local communities to restore and protect mangrove forests. These ecosystems act as natural shields against cyclones and tidal surges, while sustaining fisheries and livelihoods.

Health & Nutrition – Kalahandi

In Golamunda and neighbouring blocks of Kalahandi, we address chronic under-nutrition, maternal health and adolescent wellbeing through village-level health workers, SHGs and convergence with public services.
