It intervenes to enable the poor, marginalized women and excluded section of the society by encouraging, strengthening and organizing them to enhance their participation in the process of their own development. In order to promote this philosophy of development, SSK is trying to build the capacity of CSO’s and other change making groups, CBOs and other organizations to play an active role in positively impacting the lives of the poor and marginalized communities.
