Power at the Roots: Why Grassroots Empowerment Matters

Why Grassroots Empowerment?

  • Local Solutions Are Effective: Community knowledge solves real problems.
  • Increased Accountability: Local leaders ensure funds and projects are used well.
  • Lasting Change: People protect what they create themselves.

What We Do

  • Village Development Committees: Train in planning and governance.
  • Youth Leadership Programs: Focused on community service.
  • Gram Sabha Strengthening: Capacity-building and digital record keeping.
  • Women’s Federation: Collective action on health, education, and safety.

Impact So Far

  • Over 1,000 trained village leaders.
  • Increase in demand and access to public services.

Stories of Change When the village of Pandri needed a school, locals mobilized funds, land, and support. Today, it’s a model community with full school enrollment.

Our Vision for the Future We envision a model where every village is self-reliant, resilient, and led by empowered citizens.
