Welcome to Sahil Project

Sahil is a Registered Charity and a Company Limited not for profit Voluntary Organisation. Sahil Project was established in 1986 to support Asian Women who were suffering from stress and isolation. The stress often arose from unresolved problems and resulted in psychological ill health. This was often related to language barriers, racial hostility and difficulties in accessing services or making social contacts and not knowing where to seek the appropriate assistance.

The Project initially started as a telephone helpline to address the wide range of issues that women were facing. The Project today provides a very broad array of practical and emotional support for women from Black Minority Communities especially from Asian Sub-Continent.  Over the years the difficulties that the women had and received help with have been varied and complex and the first ten years saw the Project trying to respond to all types of issues. However this approach was revived to a robust and more focused one resulting in Sahil concentrating on a number of core services, which is still the basis of its work today.
