“We commit ourselves to empower the poor and the marginalized , particularly women, youth and children by networking with likeminded organisations on issues of livelihood, human rights, education , health care and environmental protection.
It reaches out to many needy brothers and sisters crying out for help, the oppressed waiting for justice, the unemployed waiting for jobs, the drop outs waiting for skilled training. The target group is poor and marginalized young women and children living below the poverty line , deprived of the human rights & basic needs .
