A collaborative initiative supported by MISEREOR‑Germany and implemented by KROSS‑Bangalore, working across the villages of Mysore District to move families from marginalisation to self‑reliance.
A society founded on justice, peace, equality, the common good, and ecological harmony.
To be a quality resource organisation, engaging development actors to uphold the dignity and rights of the Most Marginalised Communities through research, knowledge exchange, capacity building, and collaborative social action toward sustainable development.
To actively contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals in partnership with member organisations, sponsors, government departments, NGOs, institutions, and individuals.
At the heart of our mission is the socio‑economic elevation of women. With BHM and KROSS, our Women Empowerment Projects bridge the gap between marginalisation and self‑reliance — because when a woman is empowered, her whole family and community rewrites its future. Our visionary goal: helping socio‑economically vulnerable women and their families transition into a life of safety, security, and sustainable livelihood.
Facilitating sustainable income growth for families, so the next generation thrives through optimised nutrition and access to high‑quality education.
Advocating for and providing access to the cornerstones of well‑being — clean water, improved sanitation, and comprehensive health and hygiene standards.
Empowering women to recognise, exercise, and defend their fundamental rights and legal entitlements, fostering a culture of equity.
Nurturing grassroots organisations into independent, self‑sustaining institutions that safeguard the livelihoods of their villages long into the future.
The project's impact spans the heart of Mysore District, creating a network of resilience across three taluks, dozens of panchayaths, and dozens of villages.
Taluks covered: KR Nagar, Hunsur & H.D. Kote.
Three concrete objectives anchor the initiative — from grassroots women leadership to gender‑equal villages and a state‑level federation for SHG sustainability.
Federating affiliated Self‑Help Groups (SHGs) into one advocacy body for women's rights and sustainability.
