We currently work across 7 states and 112 districts in India out of which 51 are the most backward districts of the states on various issues of society welfare. Before moving into a new project area, we, DGVS set up an action plan. We take a very close look at the situation and define exactly how we can improve the living conditions of the local population in a sustainable manner. Often it is not sufficient to give people access to basic education, skills training or health care – in order to improve their situation substantially, an integrated approach is needed. It is our aim to support our beneficiaries until they can generate income for themselves and consequently organize their lives independently.
