INDCARE Trust (Integrated National Development Centre for Advancement Reforms and Education Trust)
INDCARE Trust, a national-level NGO, has been working for the uplift of underprivileged sections of urban and rural populations in India through various income-generation, women’s empowerment, health and educational programmes. Since 1989, INDCARE has benefited a number of communities through its awareness-generating activities and programmes using a rights-based approach.
INDCARE has substantial experience in the area of self-help groups. It has a strong presence in Delhi, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and, more recently, in Jammu and Kashmir.
The organisation has initiated several income-generation activities among women. Recently, it set up a midday meal kitchen employing SHG members from Delhi’s slums to provide meals to 60,000 children every day.
INDCARE Trust works for the empowerment of rural poor through a livelihood support programme in the Bundelkhand area. The programme targets poor women from 110 gram panchayats in Tikamgarh, Chattarpur and Lalitpur districts in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh states.
INDCARE’s key objectives are:
Long term
To bring about visible, measurable, sustainable and progressive changes in the lives of women (and through them, their respective communities) in the target areas by enhancing their livelihood options through cooperative movements, using the self-help approach.
Short term
Designing and conducting MUDRA (Mainstreaming of Urban Poor Women in Design for Resource Assessment) in the target areas in order to assess the socio-economic profile and identify the human resources needed to adopt and promote the self-help approach.
Consolidating and strengthening NGO partner networks for the formulation and enhancement of SHGs.
Providing capacity-building support to NGOs and SHGs through networking and training programmes, in order to facilitate the promotion of group-based livelihood options, while focusing on gender, leadership and credit-line management.
Creating a people’s forum that can act as an advocacy pressure group for the issue of self-governance, among stakeholders, and to initiate people-centred development.
INDCARE’s activities include:
Formation of self-help groups.
Building networks.
Setting up multipurpose cooperatives.
Building the capacities of SHG members, cooperative members and partner agencies.
INDCARE works with the following network partners:
1 Chattarpur Mahila Jagriti Manch

Fifty percent women in South Asia experience violence in their daily lives.
Sixty percent women in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, 37 percent in India, 80 percent in Pakistan, and 50 percent in Afghanistan live with daily abuse by their intimate partners within their own homes.
In the region, violence against women is pervasive, critical, and deeply entrenched in the family, community, society and the State, and advancing in intensity and scale.
The result of such discrimination and violence is 50 million ‘missing’ women -- there are now only 94 women for every 100 men in South Asia.
Violence against women goes beyond physical beatings; it is about conditions and situations that systematically deny and devalue women, their lives, health, rights, choices, and power.
It affects every woman’s life in the region even if she herself is not a victim; its evident in every decision she makes – or does not – (within homes, social settings or workplace) be it the mode of dress, behaviour or movement.
It threatens her life, health, rights, choices, power, and the ability to participate in all spheres of life.
Violence against women does not just affect women. It adversely affects each one in society.
There would be 13 million fewer malnourished children in South Asia if women had an equal say in the family, says UNICEF’s The State of World’s Children (2007).
‘We Can’ is making violence against women visible and a public concern. It is undoing the shame and stigma attached to talking about it (particularly domestic violence), and triggering a desire and commitment among ordinary people to change social attitudes and behaviour that support and maintain inequality and violence against women.
It works on the premise that when enough people embark upon a change they can influence and transform the institutions, communities, and society of which they are a part.
