Who we work for?
Jwala Foundation’s noble mission is to partner with various stakeholders to implement projects aimed at climate protection, environment protection and conservation, as well as the development of educational and health infrastructure in India with a specific focus on gender issues. This multifaceted approach is essential for holistic development and addressing pressing issues in the country.

Here are a few key points to consider when working on such projects:

Partnerships: Collaboration with local philanthropists, overseas Indians, international charitable organizations, trusts, funds, development agencies, and NGOs is crucial. These partnerships can bring in expertise, funding, and resources necessary for successful project implementation.

Climate Protection: Given the environmental challenges facing India, projects related to climate protection should consider strategies such as afforestation, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy adoption, air pollution and waste management.

Environment Protection & Conservation: Initiatives in this area could include efforts to reduce pollution, protect natural habitats, and conserve biodiversity. Creating awareness and education programs can play a significant role in these efforts.

Educational and Health Infrastructure: Develop educational institutions and healthcare facilities, especially in underserved areas. Access to quality education and healthcare services is vital for improving the overall well-being of communities.

Gender Issues: Ensure that gender issues are integrated into all project components. This can involve promoting women’s empowerment, advocating for gender equality, and addressing specific challenges women and girls face in the targeted communities.

Sustainability: Make sure that the projects are designed with long-term sustainability in mind. Consider how the initiatives will continue to benefit the communities even after the initial implementation phase.
