Overview

Works with singular focus on empowerment of 1 million people residing in rural India. The mission is to assist rural communities in becoming self-reliant and experiencing a permanent, irreversible form of change in the way they live.

The strategy employed to achieve this mission is Engage-Execute-Empower-Exit. Health & Nutrition, Education, Water & Sanitation and Economic Development are the primary focus areas.

In the Health & Nutrition sector, the focus is on detecting and managing anemia through screening and iron supplements, diagnosis and cure of cataract through checkups and surgery, reducing malnutrition by encouraging breastfeeding and providing supplementary nutrition and treatment of children with heart disease.

In the education sector, it works with Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) to facilitate early childhood development and provides skill development training, leadership training and scholarships to students. It also conducts a principal & teacher training program to enable efficient and effective delivery of education.

In the water & sanitation sector, its efforts are focused on building rainwater harvesting facilities, toilets and water storage structures in homes and under-resourced schools with the aim of creating open-defecation free communities and ensuring access of safe drinking water.

Its economic development initiative is focused on enabling farmers to have sustainable sources of income by creating awareness about government policies and providing access to innovative farming techniques.

The first step is to engage rural communities with NGOs, corporate houses, urban youth and the government. The next step is execution of developmental programs in collaboration with these entities.

The third step is empowerment which takes place when these communities undertake activities with the view to become self-dependent and experience sustainable development.

With this transformation, the organization follows an exit strategy, allowing the transformed communities to guide other communities towards their transformation.

Development and transformation is envisioned in the form of a mobilized community with active self-help groups, robust health of community members , schools with quality education, well-nourished children, clean water and a personal toilet in every household. Uplifting the farmer community through creation of opportunities for running small businesses is also part of its developmental activities.

2000 villages and more than 4.7 Lakh community members have benefited from its activities.
