Goal · Vision · Mission
Goal
Lift living standards.
Improve the living standard of disadvantaged and vulnerable men, women and children — including persons with disability and minorities — through need-based, sustainable development.
Vision
Rights, justice, resilience.
An environment in which disadvantaged and vulnerable people enjoy rights, justice and security, are climate-resilient and self-reliant, and have access to health, education and emergency support.
Mission
Stand beside communities.
Deliver programmes that bring sustainable benefit to marginalised people irrespective of caste, creed, culture, ethnicity or religion — by empowering them and sensitising stakeholders, and standing beside them during disasters.
