Swavalamban Program
What is Swāvalamban?
Swavlamban was started by Drishtee Foundation and its partners in 2017 with the aim to connect rural and urban communities in a relationship of shared prosperity.
It is a community-led Integrated village development initiative of Drishtee to enhance local livelihood opportunities and access to basic services. The model focuses on building self-reliant, sustainable, interdependent community organizations and enables the community to design and develop community-led economic and social solutions for the betterment of their own villages. We aim to reach 4,50,000 families in 5 regions to lift themselves out of poverty during a 3-year time span. We focus on uplifting rural marginal women of the families by imparting livelihood skills.
Our Approach
Drishtee acts as an enabler in the Swavalamban ecosystem by providing support through 4C’s approach – Community, Capacity, Capital and the Channel. Over 121868 rural families across 190 villages in India have already joined us on the journey of Swavalamban towards sustainable livelihoods and socio-economic well-being.
