Our implementation partners
We work with excellent partners (NGOs) who deliver the programmes on the ground. Our partners specialise in delivering effective and sustainable livelihood programmes to support the rural and urban poor.
Nirdhan Development and Microfinance
We have been working with Nirdhan since 2011. Together we launched our three agricultural livelihood programmes to support the rural poor in West Bengal.
VIEWS India
VIEWS is a growing, grass-roots organisation working towards sustainable livelihoods, quality education, health, climate change and disaster management among Tribals, Dalits, people with disability and coastal fishing communities in Odisha.
In October 2021, we chose VIEWS to partner with us to replicate our Agri-management Services programme.
We are currently working with 800 marginalised farmers, teaching them how to farm in a sustainable, responsible and profitable way.
SAATH
Shivia first partnered with SAATH in 2012/13 on their Nirman Programme, providing training to workers in the informal sector in the areas of electrical work, carpentry, masonry and plumbing to increase their earning potential.
We are delighted to be working with SAATH once again on two new initiatives:
Providing business skills training to women living in urban slum areas so they can start their own enterprise in the Beauty & Wellness sector
A skills-based training programme aimed at women living in urban slum areas to enhance job prospects and increase income in the Home Management sector.
NIRMAN
Shivia partnered with the NGO NIRMAN in March 2022 to replicate our Poultry Development Services Programme for the first time outside of West Bengal.
NIRMAN was founded in 1997 and is registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It operates in nine districts of Odisha and has its head office in the capital, Bhubaneshwar. NIRMAN has its FCRA status. The Founder and Executive Director of NIRMAN is Mr Prasant Mohanty.
DARBAR SAHITYA SANSADA (DSS)
Shivia partnered with the NGO DSS in March 2022 to replicate our Poultry Development Services Programme for the first time outside of West Bengal, in parallel with our replication through NIRMAN.
DSS was founded in 1982 and is registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It operates in six districts of Odisha and has its head office in the city of Bhalipatana. DSS has its FCRA status. The Founder and Chief Executive of DSS is Mr Kedareswar Choudhury.
SATHEE
Shivia partnered with SATHEE in 2023 to replicate our Poultry Development Services Programme in the state of Jharkhand.
SATHEE was founded by Dr Niraj Kumar in 1996 and is registered as a Trust under Indian Trust Act (1882). Their mission is very much aligned with Shivia’s, namely ‘the socio-economic empowerment of tribes, OBCs and other socially and economically oppressed communities including the women, children and other disadvantaged groups.’
