About Mahila Housing Trust (MHT)

Mahila Housing Trust (MHT) builds secure housing and resilient living settings for low-income women and girls. Technology is central to how we drive social change — from gathering the data needed to understand urban challenges to designing solutions that reduce climate risk.
MHT strengthens essential civic and housing infrastructure, including water, sanitation, drainage, solid waste management, roads, electricity/energy, low-income housing, and secure land tenure. Using data-driven insights, spatial analysis, and digital tools, we connect communities to financial, legal, and technical services in housing, water, sanitation, and energy. This approach keeps our work community-driven, scalable, and evidence-based — improving lives and livelihoods for underprivileged women.
MHT runs several Climate Resilience Initiatives that tackle urban heat, climate risk, and vulnerability in low-income communities. These projects combine spatial analysis, community-driven data collection,



and evidence-based advocacy to build resilience and improve living conditions for marginalized populations.
