Our approach
With Communities, For Communities.
Help India Growth India Foundation believes in a community-based approach to social development. It aims to put the real needs, experiences and suggestions of community members at the centre of every initiative.
Six principles, applied together
These are not one-off stages. They run alongside each other, from the first conversation in a neighbourhood to the review of what has been achieved.
- 01
Understanding community needs
Engaging with community members to understand their concerns, needs and priorities.
- 02
Awareness and information
Sharing reliable information about rights, government schemes and available services.
- 03
Training and capacity building
Supporting opportunities to develop the capabilities of women, young people, workers and other community members.
- 04
Coordination with relevant departments
Encouraging collaboration with government departments, social organisations and other relevant stakeholders.
- 05
Community participation
Encouraging local people to take part in programme planning, implementation and review.
- 06
Transparency and accountability
Valuing responsible documentation, transparency and accountability in activities and resource management.
In practice
Assistance alone is not development. Lasting change comes when people know their rights, can reach the services meant for them, and take part in decisions about their own communities.
Help India Growth India
Take Part in Community-Led Change.
Community participation is at the heart of this approach, and there is room for everyone.
