SAHAY

Survival Aid to Old, Abndoned, and Helpless People dependent on support from relations or others That support was no longer forthcoming following the economic disaster that overwhelmed the lower strata of society.

Shikshya is the core initiative for sustaining the children’s education and enabling them to continue on the path of breaking the chain of inherited poverty.

Sambhav - Livelihood Restoration Program revived small but viable, pre Covid livelihoods by Financial Aid to restore working capital that had been totally eroded by survival without income. Roadside shops, food stalls, small vendors, florists, vegetable vendors, fruit sellers, road side garments sellers, stage technicians like make-up men, dressers etc. were assisted by CSP to restart their businesses/ livelihoods.
