Yuvak Pratishthan is having a strong network of 450 CBO’s all over Mumbai, especially in Suburbs. Yuvak Pratishthan's diversified image will be useful while working on 'Slum Interventions'. Yuvak Pratishthan thus works on Macro Level as well as Micro Level simultaneously.

Take example of Hepatitis B Free Mumbai Campaign in which vaccination of Hepatitis B was done at very concessional rate. Yuvak Pratishthan could organise camps on its own at many slums, engaging doctors and paramedical staff for the purpose & could have managed to complete ten lacs vaccinations in three years with this arrangement. But Yuvak Pratishthan motivated CBO’s to take-up this activity & we succeded in completing more that 30 lacs vaccinations in just two years. Not only this, the success ratio of this complete vaccination course was (1st, 2nd & 3rd Dose) more than 75%, which would not have been possible through Yuvak Pratishthan's work alone. It is also sure that the impact of vaccination campaign was tremendous due to involvement of CBO’s.
