Our Approach as a right-based organisation is to respect every person, especially those deprived of a dignified life and opportunities.
We believe the rights of the children, young, women, and the marginalized can be realized only through empowerment. Therefore, we focus on educational, social, economic, and cultural contexts and are policy-oriented.
Vision: Our Vision is to work as a catalyst in bringing sustainable change in the lives of underprivileged children, youth, and women with a life-cycle approach to development.
Mission: Our mission is to safeguard the rights, offer care and protection, and empower underprivileged children, youth, and women through education, innovative community-based development projects, and market-focused livelihood programmes.
