About Us
‘श्वः’ / ‘শ্বঃ’- ‘SWAH’ is a Sanskrit word. ‘SWAH’ means ‘Tomorrow’.
‘SWAH’ was born through a relentless and intensive alternative practice. Following this path of alternative thinking, ‘SWAH’ has joined hands with the whole world to capture the present time. It implements various projects through multi-faceted research, application, and observation related to life, nature, and the environment. Alternative life practice, alternative education, and alternative health. In this activity, various means of art-literature-science-culture are being applied. In this way, the “Nature Classroom” included in the childhood development services has been developed. It is a nature and human-practice center. Basically, to create a careful and extra awareness of nature, environment, and society among children and the basic needs of children such as body and The plan has been developed keeping in mind health awareness, essential nutrition, intellectual development, emotional development, comprehensive education and overall cooperation in achieving success in life. There is a discussion with the family about the present time and its crisis, exceptional planning, and learning to protect the family from ever-new social traumas. We (SWAH) think that children are our most valuable natural resource. The focus of human development is child welfare. To protect and establish children’s rights, ‘SWAH’ is fighting hand in hand with child human rights organizations.
