Where We Work
Dalits and Adhavasis empowerment
The Dalits and Adhivasis are the major sections of the society in which the modern slavery is prevalent. These vulnerable sections are prohibited or forbidden the basic social rights, economical rights, civil rights, political rights, cultural rights and educational rights for many centuries. Sexual violence, honour killing and social discriminations in many forms are perpetrated against them even in the present times.
To be freed from the above, the Dalits and Adhivasis need to be empowered. Karpi trust envisions targeted activities to bring awareness about various social security schemes and through various entrepreneurship development schemes. Karpi trust strongly believes that empowering Dalits and Adhivasis will solve many issues like multi-dimensional poverty, malnutrition, achieve zero hunger, good health, over all well-being and clean environment.
Environment and Ecological friendly communities
Due to the rapid urbanization, air water and land pollution, the environment is under severe stress. In order to fight against this, awareness camps will be held by the trust. And to combat against the global warming, afforestation programmes with regeneration of traditional trees will be conducted.
We will work with the communities in producing eco-friendly products and we will strongly advocate ethical consumerism.
Disaster management
Karpi trust works on all the three phases of disaster management (i.e) Pre disaster, during disaster and post disaster times. It primarily focuses on the land degradation which very much affects agricultural productivity and food security. We work on creating awareness on the various climate smart agricultural practices.
Due to the global warming the coastal villages are very much affected by sea level rise and many of its related impacts. Karpi trust will work in the coastal areas along with the coastal communities and aims to help them in the relief measures.
Peace and justice strong institutions
Karpi trust strongly believes in all forms of rights and development. None should be left behind. If anyone is left behind in the name of caste, race, religion, sex and language, it is the responsibility of the government and the social and democratic institutions to work for the victim and to ensure their rights and development.
We strongly believe that Dalits, Adhivasis, women, minorities, physically challenged and the sexual minorities are in need of strong peace and justice institutions to have their rights.
Karpi trust will work with the various government and civil society organizations to ensure the peace and justice to the people. Peace and justice ensures the social harmony.
