Since 2024, Swabhiman Samiti has intensified its mission to empower rural communities in Siddharthnagar district. Our work with physical education and social-emotional learning in schools has transformed student engagement, especially for girl children. Through dedicated programs such as Project Chhalaang, Digital Classroom Program, EmpowerEd: Digital Literacy Program, and Kishori Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (KSP)—which focuses on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)—Swabhiman Samiti has strengthened educational outcomes, promoted gender equality, and built healthier, more resilient communities.
Understanding that true transformation comes from within, we focused on empowering communities through health education and youth engagement. During this period, we promoted reproductive health and family planning services across rural areas, ensuring better maternal care and informed decision-making. Simultaneously, in response to the pandemic, we mobilized efforts to achieve 100% COVID-19 vaccination coverage in our operational blocks—ensuring no one was left behind.
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 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.
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. 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.
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.
