About MHWA
Established in 2013, Mahila Hawkers Welfare Association (MHWA) is a social welfare organization committed to uplifting the lives of street vendors and daily earners — both men and women — across urban and rural areas. Our mission is to empower hawkers by providing them with equal opportunities, financial literacy, and social security so they can lead lives of dignity and independence.
Over the years, we have expanded our focus to include several crucial aspects of community welfare. We actively work towards women’s safety and hygiene, ensuring that female hawkers have access to clean sanitation facilities and awareness programs that promote health, dignity, and confidence. Through our girls’ vocational training programs, we help young women acquire practical skills that open doors to sustainable employment and entrepreneurship.
In addition to women’s empowerment, we are dedicated to improving human health and child wellness within hawker families. We organize regular health camps, medical check-ups, and nutritional awareness drives to enhance their overall well-being. Our blood donation initiatives further strengthen our commitment to saving lives and promoting social responsibility.
MHWA also provides strong support to both male and female hawkers, ensuring fair opportunities, better working conditions, and financial stability. By promoting community unity, skill development, and self-reliance, we aim to transform the lives of street vendors and their families.
With the support of volunteers, partners, and the community, we continue to create a positive impact — building a future where every hawker, regardless of gender or background, can live with respect, security, and hope.
