Our Approach

To actualize our mission and vision, Dhara Sansthan follows a five-pronged strategy:

1. Co creation with Communities
   Every project starts with inclusive community dialogues and needs assessments. People are stakeholders—not recipients.
2. Integrated, Cross Sector Work
   Issues like health, education, and livelihoods are interlinked. Our initiatives address them in coordinated, systemic ways.
3. Local Leadership & Training
   We invest in local community leaders, champions, and volunteers through ongoing skill development and mentoring.
4. Evidence?Informed Design
   Rigorous monitoring and evaluation inform program adjustments—ensuring flexibility and adaptability.
5. Scale Through Replication
   Successful models—like SHGs, clean water systems, and health protocols—are scaled to new geographies via training and government partnerships.
