SAHAYOG

Youth for Social Change

As an organization, SAHAYOG is dedicated to promoting social development and addressing the most pressing issues in our communities. Our commitment is demonstrated through a range of programs that tackle both immediate crises and long-term development needs. We recognize that true progress comes from supporting communities in a holistic way—whether that means empowering young people, supporting persons with disabilities, promoting a sustainable environment, or responding to a disaster.At SAHAYOG, we believe in empowering young people to become leaders and agents of change. Our approach focuses on two key areas: building economic independence and fostering active civic participation.

Empowering Through Skills and Livelihoods

Recognizing the immense challenges young people face—especially the impact of COVID-19 on education and employment—we mobilize youth for practical skills training. We understand that even a small fee can be a barrier, so we help young individuals overcome financial hurdles to build their future.Success Story: We mobilized and supported 21 rural youth from Khordha and surrounding districts. After completing caregiver training, all 21 received financial aid to cover their fees and were successfully placed in jobs, securing their economic future.

Fostering Active Citizenship

In collaboration with Commutiny - The Youth Collective, our "Samjho Toh Samvidhan" program cultivates a new generation of engaged citizens. It educates young people on their constitutional rights and responsibilities, empowering them to actively participate and co-create a better society.

Beyond civic education, we also provide guidance on essential life skills, including:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Substance abuse prevention
  • Leading fulfilling lives

We are committed to expanding these vital programs to reach even more young people in the future.
