Lack of affordability
Healthcare services in India can be expensive, and many women may not be able to afford the cost of healthcare services. This is especially true for women from low-income households.
Gender bias
Women may face discrimination and bias in healthcare settings, which can prevent them from receiving proper care. This can include negative attitudes from healthcare providers, as well as a lack of understanding of women’s health issues.
Lack of awareness:
Many women in India may not be aware of their rights and the healthcare services that are available to them. This can prevent them from seeking help when they need it and lead to delays in treatment.

It also uses the services of health officers and health centers to introduce its programs into local communities. Which helps the beneficiaries of the projects to become advocates of the program, training their peers and families and spreading the message of clean water and health.
