Young rural entrepreneurs at a training session

About Us

Vision

Villages are a happy place with plenty of jobs for disadvantaged youth, brimming with enterprises, and enhanced rural incomes leading to improved lives and dignity of people.

Mission

To promote entrepreneurial initiatives, to improve ground level capacities and to establish support services for disadvantaged youth, rural entrepreneurs and start-ups.

Our Model

To attract, groom and mentor entrepreneurs who will in turn create jobs for rural youth, establish rural entrepreneurs, and raise rural incomes; and to train rural youth in skills needed to build resilience among rural people against a variety of crises — be it unemployment, a declining groundwater table, disease or disability, or low learning levels.
