Society For The Welfare Of Weaker Sections
About Us
who we are.....
Society for Welfare of Weaker Sections is a timely response to the socioeconomic needs of the tribal population in Gajapati district. SWWS started its operation by working in close proximity with the tribes 'Souras' and 'Kandhas'. Initially the aim was to ensure basic support to the vulnerable pockets through enhancedcommunity participation. The main challenge before the activists and social workers was to stage a radical shift from age old paternalistic generosity model to reinforced convergent community action.
This could be achieved only by means of attitudinal transformation. SWWS has functionally demonstrated its core competency in strengthening civic amenities for the tribal population like access to safe drinking water, primary health care, household level food security, hygiene and sanitation for school children and at the household level, economic empowerment for women andstrengthening of local governance through augmented community participation.
