Our Organization
Prayas is a non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 1991 with the goal of empowering marginalized communities across India. We operate through a multi-faceted approach that addresses education, healthcare, sustainable development, and women’s empowerment . 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 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.
