ADHWANA is a non-governmental, non-profit-making development organization committed to the integrated and sustainable development of human beings and conservation of nature, striving to widen its perspectives, in tune with the demands of time.
ADHWANA works passionately to ensure a social order by promoting justice, equality, and freedom. We focus on sustainable development and economic empowerment through skill development and knowledge building.
We organize and conduct capacity building exercises for the development practitioners associated with NGOs in Kerala.
We manage interventions in the areas of training, participatory planning, community development, researches and studies, monitoring and evaluation.
We promote livelihood through vocational training for employment and self-employment, enterprise development, linkages building, handholding for the school dropout youth.
We focus on environment conservation and gender mainstreaming.
We extend our purview to other deserving target groups and communities like Dalits, small farmers, fish workers, students, youth, children, migrants and the general public.
We have implemented, over the last 18 years, several village-based programs and projects reaching out to the marginalized communities.
We all deserve dignified opportunities to rebuild our lives and career.
Lack of education shouldn’t prevent you from easy access to legal aid.
Development shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment.
Lack of funds doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to sanitisation.
Being from a marginalized community doesn’t mean your voice should go unheard.
Adhwana is actively attaining its goals by supporting individuals, organizations and communities to find out their strengths and potentials. We help them achieve their personal, institutional and community goals.
