Wellness, dignity & opportunity for every woman in Tamil Nadu.

Shantore Foundation is a newly born non-profit working alongside the women of Tamil Nadu — to heal bodies, calm minds, build livelihoods, and reclaim agency. We're just beginning. Walk with us from the very first step.

Our four pillars

Wellness that holds the whole woman.

True wellness isn't one thing — it's the quiet weave of body, mind, community, and means. We meet women in Tamil Nadu where they are, across all four.

Physical Health

Health camps, maternal care, and nutrition support reaching the women mainstream systems miss.

Mental Wellness

Counselling circles, peer support, and trauma-informed care in safe, women-led spaces.

Community

Circles where women find belonging, mentorship, and the courage to lead change locally.

Livelihood

Skills, financial literacy, and micro-enterprise that turn wellness into lasting independence.

Who we are

A new foundation, born from a simple belief — wellness is a right, not a privilege.

Shantore Foundation opened its doors in 2026 with a small group of women, a borrowed community hall, and a conviction: that when a woman is well — in body, mind, and means — her whole world becomes well with her.

We are a young, women-led non-profit beginning our journey across Tamil Nadu — bringing dignity-first wellness to women who have long been unseen. We don't arrive with answers. We arrive to listen, then walk alongside.

  • Women-led team rooted in Tamil Nadu communities
  • Care that is free, confidential, and culturally respectful
  • Newly registered and building from the ground up
  • Every founding rupee tracked and reported transparently

Our beginning

We're at the start. Here's what we're building toward.

As a newly launched foundation, we don't have years of numbers to boast about yet. What we have is a clear vision, a committed team, and the trust of the first communities we're working with. Here's where we're headed.

First 500 women

Reach 500 women across Tamil Nadu with wellness programs by end of our first year — health camps, counselling circles, and skills training.

10 community hubs

Establish 10 women-only safe spaces — Aangan hubs — across Tamil Nadu where women can gather, rest, and seek support.

Rooted in Tamil Nadu

Build a network across Tamil Nadu — starting in districts like Madurai, Coimbatore, Trichy, and Salem — led by local women, for local women.
