HELPING PEOPLE, HELP THEMSELVES!

Our Misson


They needed food.
We taught them fishing,
so they could eat daily, and well
And this became the signpost on our road –
helping people help themselves.

The tasks of building are many, and we chose the work of empowering marginalised and vulnerable sections of the community.
The means we adopt? Enhancing their knowledge, skills, capacities, access to opportunities and services, and their participation in life decisions. We aim to act as a facilitator for people to achieve their optimal potential and to prepare them to face life’s challenges with confidence and dignity.


We Aim To

  • Sensitise and mobilise the communities towards social, health, education, and economic issues affecting their development.
  • Build capacities of the community groups through information, training and technical support to empower them.
  • Provide services, and develop referrals linkages with government, non-government, and other concerned agencies for promoting physical, psychological, and socio-economic development of the community.


We Believe
Our experience has strengthened our belief that people’s participation is vital to integrated community development.


“I believe that people themselves have the power to bring change, to make a difference and create hope for life. We at CSI just act as catalysts and facilitators to help them take charge of transforming their own lives..”
Deepa Bajaj, President, CSI.
