HOLISTIC APPROACH
We have contemplated a holistic, integrated, and sustainable approach to cater to the needs of the community. This has been developed through a participatory approach at all levels. Stakeholders’ involvement, transparency, and convergence have been used as important tools during this process. The underpinning of all these efforts is to build a good rapport and trust-based relationships with nearby communities and other stakeholders such as government & non-government agencies. This relationship-building has helped in devising long-term transformative programs across a range of intervention areas.
To ensure the initiative is well-received, we have started strategic discussions with community members, for their inputs. The goal is to help them with adequate resources to become self-sufficient.
Our activities are aligned to develop a sense of ownership within the people to keep the initiatives and programs running without help.
The needs of the community identified, understood and segregated are under 4 broad categories:
1. Livelihoods
2. Education
3. Health
4. Rural Development
INITIATIVES FOR CONTROL OF COVID-19
We believe that to effectively contribute to the needs of local community, we need to be consistently proactive. In recent times, across locations, we have extended our support to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
