At Ishar, we operate with a philosophy rooted in the 'Social Model of Health.' Our services prioritise healing lifestyle-related challenges that impact women's health and well-being across ages and diverse backgrounds. We believe in interconnectedness—physical well-being intertwines with personal, social, cultural, economic, and gender-related factors.

We equip women with information, counselling, training, and support, empowering them to address challenges or connect with specialised assistance. We recognise women as the core of communities; their empowerment radiates positively to families and society. Ishar's journey began on August 10th, 1992, celebrating over 30 years of impactful service.
