Why we exist
Mission
To empower marginalised and vulnerable communities through sustainable development initiatives, leadership building, education, health interventions, child rights protection, women's empowerment, and social justice programs that enable people to improve their quality of life and participate actively in society.
Vision
To build an equitable, inclusive, and socially just society where every child, woman, and marginalised individual enjoys dignity, equal opportunities, access to quality education and healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, and the freedom to realise their full potential.
What we run
Child rights, school discipline, health and protection from abuse — reaching 300+ children per camp through games, videos and group sessions.
Office management, electronics, computing and tailoring courses for 100+ women, with placement and apprenticeship support.
Credit-linked SHGs for dairy, poultry and sheep-rearing livelihoods, trained in bookkeeping and leadership so members avoid moneylenders.
EDISAN Trust holds 12A, 80G and CSR registration — every donation is receipted and traceable to a program on the ground.
