As the world shifts, so do we. Our Rojgar Evam Swasthya Adhikar Pariyojana project continues to fight for non-discriminatory access to livelihoods and healthcare. Our commitment to digital literacy has opened new doors for students, preparing them for the challenges of tomorrow. Together, we are paving the way for a future of empowerment, resilience, and sustainable development.
Our work with physical education and social emotional learning in schools transformed student engagement, especially for girl children. We launched the Farmer’s Action for Sustainable Agro-Based Livelihood program, ensuring 1500 families adopted sustainable farming practices that boosted income and improved environmental stewardship. Our advocacy for marginalized communities ensured that entitlements under government schemes were claimed, creating a pathway to self-sufficiency.
We expanded our efforts in education with the Digital Classroom Program, equipping rural girls with essential digital literacy and fostering an interest in STEM fields. Simultaneously, we empowered farmers through the Krishak Club Program, providing them access to modern agricultural techniques and financial resources, ensuring that rural livelihoods were not just sustained but thriving.
Understanding that true transformation comes from within, we focused on adolescent girls, empowering 400 young women through education and awareness about sexual health, early marriage, and leadership. We then expanded our reach to 300 youth through the Know Your Body, Know Your Rights project, providing them with critical knowledge on sexual abuse, consent, and HIV—preparing them to make informed decisions about their lives.
In the aftermath of devastating floods, we stepped in to provide immediate relief to 1200 families, ensuring they not only survived but thrived. Our Disaster Management Program trained 40 volunteers, equipping them with the skills to respond to future crises. These early steps laid the groundwork for what would become a movement of resilience and empowerment.
Our initiatives focus on building community resilience to climate challenges through disaster preparedness and sustainable environmental practices.
Our goal is to provide quality education, focusing on out-of-school children and promoting digital learning in rural areas.
Our efforts advocate for sexual and reproductive health rights, ensuring women and children have access to essential health services.
Our programs empower marginalized communities by creating sustainable income opportunities through skill-building and resource management.
Our work addresses the root causes of poverty by providing access to education, healthcare, and livelihood resources.
Our initiatives ensure access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities to improve community health and hygiene.
