Sustainable Livelihood

Our Philosophy

Improve the quality of life of the excluded communities by creating Sustainable Livelihood options in adherence with the principles of social and ecological inclusion.

Time and again, the importance of handholding the underserved with means to avail of reliable income-generating opportunities have been brought to the fore. We believe simple things like transferring the knowledge on innovative and sustainable livelihood practices to the poor and vulnerable communities, supporting them to gain access over land and livelihood assets and mobilising them through institution building can ensure food security and improve their quality of life.

How We Work

• Facilitating linkages of communities with government welfare schemes and basic entitlements
• Ensuring communities have access to Public Distribution System, Primary Health Centre and Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres
• Facilitating community asset creation for resilience building and self – sustenance
• Ensuring adoption of Integrated Farming & Natural Resource Management through community participation
• Persistent effort towards technological innovation
• Forming and strengthening of community institutions for convergence & sustainability
• Providing input to communities on climate smart practices
• Facilitating capacity building for entrepreneurship, gainful employment and livelihood sustainability of underprivileged women & youth
• Nurturing rural enterprises
• Promoting women as advocates of food and nutrition security for the community (through locally available produce & dietary resources and revival of traditional food habits)
• Harnessing the potential of renewable energy (solar/wind/micro-hydel) to support livelihood enterprises
