Who We Are

A grassroots foundation, deeply focused on challenges faced by marginalized communities and in particular of women in the bottom 100,000 villages of India. We bring a deep knowledge and an inventory of working solutions for stranded India and mechanisms for scaling-up those solutions.

How We Work

Samaj - Sarkar - Bazaar

Community

Nothing is possible without community participation and numbers. Sometimes it includes breaking ingrained attitudes and customs, and this behavioural change is slow. Once communities see their lives are better they are more open to change.

Government

Our close contact with communities enables us to provide relevant information that shapes government delivery programmes. This could be in identifying beneficiaries for livelihood, identifying pockets that need skilling or even basic need for infrastructure.

Marketplace

We skill rural communities to improve their output and then connect them to a marketplace for their goods. Our skilling ensures they move from being small farmers to agri-prenuers who can improve output, plan ahead and become key suppliers in the market.
