Our partner Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust also previously added a project to SuSanA's database on Sanitation and hygiene initiative through community institutions of the poor in Uttar Pradesh, India.
The project seems to have ended in 2015, but we would love to hear an update if there is a continuous phase and if more projects are planned in future. You can have a look at the initial project here: www.susana.org/en/knowledge-hub/projects/database/details/152


Kind regards,
Pelumi on behalf of the SuSanA Secretariat

We would like to welcome
Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust (RGMVP)

from India as a new SuSanA partner organisation!

The following text is taken from their application form and was written by the partner organisation themselves.

Description and Activities in Sustainable Sanitation:
RGMVP (www.rgmvp.org) is a women’s empowerment organization in Uttar Pradesh (UP), that primarily mobilises women from the poorest and most backward districts of UP into Women’s Self Help Groups and their federations. Through these social platforms, we run programmes around financial inclusion, livelihoods, health, education, sanitation, local governance and leadership development. RGMVP currently works with over 1 million rural women, spread across 42 districts of UP. RGMVP also mobilizes adolescent girls into Young Women’s Self Help Groups, that helps them save money for their education and other purposes, but more importantly, acts as a platform for them to discuss and share their aspirations, seek more information about health, menstrual hygiene, education, and undergo several skill-development and leadership training's.
