Our History
Founded by a group of dedicated social workers, educators, and community leaders, Prayas was born out of a desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who are often overlooked. Over the years, we have grown from a small, community-based organization to a nationally recognized NGO with a presence in multiple states across India. Our journey has been marked by relentless efforts, innovative programs, and the unwavering support of our volunteers, donors, and partners.

Our Team
Our approach is rooted in the belief that sustainable development requires a comprehensive and inclusive strategy. We work directly with communities, listening to their needs and involving them in the planning and implementation of our programs. This participatory approach ensures that our initiatives are relevant, culturally appropriate, and effective in addressing the specific challenges faced by each community
Key elements of our approach include:
Community-Centered Development: We engage with local communities to understand their unique challenges and strengths. By involving community members in decision-making processes, we foster a sense of ownership and empowerment.
Integrated Programs: Recognizing the interconnected nature of social issues, we implement integrated programs that address multiple aspects of poverty and development. Our initiatives in education, healthcare, sustainable development, and women’s empowerment are designed to complement and reinforce each other.
Capacity Building: We focus on building the capacity of individuals and communities to become self-reliant. Through training, education, and skill development, we empower people to improve their own lives and contribute to the development of their communities.
