OVERVIEW
SEWA Bharat will start implementation of a new project to improve last mile delivery of social security Linkages, health services, access to finance, markets, digital technology, civic amenities and infrastructure for women in the informal economy in Bihar, Delhi, Gujarat, Punjab and Rajasthan.
This Project is designed to help women in the informal economy to overcome their barriers, SEWA has pioneered and launched multiple initiatives over the years. Establishing the SEWA Shakti Kendras (SSKs) as local resource centres have been one of the most successful initiatives so far. The SSKs serveas a hub for information and education within the community, where informal workers live and work.
These centres are attempting to bridge the gap between government programs and its access thereby improving governance. The centres seek to improve the community’s access to information and services and entitlements and also serve as a focal point for all community-based activities that are led by women. Through the SSKs, SEWA educates women about their health, personal finance, and rights and links them with government schemes. Today, SSKs exist in both urban and rural areas in states, namely, Delhi, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, and Gujarat.
SEWA has created a network of grassroots leaders called Aagewans across India in specific geographies. They are the link between people and the government and make efforts to reach information to community members, address community needs, and ensure linkages with compensatory packages, welfare schemes, and developmental programs. They have also been at the frontline of local action, supplementing the government efforts during COVID-19.
