About Us

Who We Are and What We Stand For

Welcome to Savisthri. We are committed to building a just, inclusive, and equitable society where women and communities can thrive with dignity, opportunity, and equal rights. Our work is guided by four key objectives:

Empowering Women through Equality

We promote gender equality by expanding women's access to education, resources, leadership opportunities, and equal participation in decision-making. We believe that empowered women are the foundation of stronger families, resilient communities, and sustainable development.

Establishing Food Security

We work to ensure that everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food. Through sustainable agricultural practices, community-driven initiatives, and innovative solutions, we help combat hunger while strengthening long-term food security and resilience.

Building an Alternative Economy

We advocate for an inclusive and sustainable economic model that values people over profit. By supporting local enterprises, fair trade, cooperatives, and community-based livelihoods, we help create economic opportunities that are equitable and beneficial for all.

Influencing Government Policy Change

We engage with policymakers and public institutions to advocate for policies that promote social justice, gender equality, economic inclusion, and environmental sustainability. Through collaboration and evidence-based advocacy, we work toward meaningful and lasting policy change.

Our Vision

To build a sustainable and inclusive society where the rights of people from every ethnic community are respected, gender equality is upheld, and every individual has the opportunity to live with dignity and security.


Our Mission

To strengthen a vibrant women's movement that drives sustainable development by empowering communities, preserving local knowledge, and promoting inclusive leadership at every level.


Our Strategy

Revive and protect cultural heritage and the natural environment while fostering a harmonious relationship between people and nature.

Empower women to overcome violence, discrimination, and social exclusion by promoting human rights, gender equality, and democratic values.

Promote alternative economic and consumer policies that encourage responsible use of resources, strengthen household self-reliance, support community-based governance, and position women as leaders of sustainable development.

Build strong partnerships with local, national, and international organizations through knowledge sharing, collaboration, and collective action to achieve our shared vision.
