The network of social enterprises, civil society organization and individual change makers is an essential component to design competent solutions. Swaniti has been funding organizations which work in four verticals – Social Protection, Rural Livelihood & Governance, and Policy Engagement. We have supported the Apna app which is revolutionizing unskilled labor and market connect. We have provided multi layered support to community based organizations like Janarth Adivasi Vikas Sanstha and Yuva Rural Association.
Janarth Adivasi Vikas Sanstha works with Swaniti in Nandurbar to understand the challenges faced by migrant textile, brick kiln, and agricultural laborers in the district. The collaboration involves baseline study, supporting the government in improving service delivery, and strengthening scheme delivery in inaccessible areas among excluded and marginalized communities.
Yuva Rural Association works with Swaniti Maharashtra team in strengthening social protection for unorganised workers in three districts – Chandrapur, Nagpur, and Amravati. Understanding the grievances of seasonal migrant workers in agriculture, brick kilns, industries, among other sectors; supporting the government in strengthening livelihood enhancement and income generation, and improving overall delivery of schemes and services are the main focus areas.
