The program follows a structured approach, starting with Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) education, followed by two years of intensive community mobilization, and concluding in a final phase focused on combining progress and addressing remaining challenges. It will empower local youth, enhancing their leadership skills and ensuring long-term sustainability. SVSI’s goal is to foster self-reliant communities capable of driving their own development.

Key Focus Areas:

• Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH): Improved access to clean drinking water, smokeless kitchens, sanitation facilities, and health interventions through WASH education.
• Agriculture, Livelihoods, and Vocational Training: SVSI will train 150 farmers in modern agricultural techniques to cultivate 200 acres of land, promoting food security and income generation through ventures like poultry farming, goat rearing, and vegetable cultivation. Additionally, 156 young individuals will receive vocational training in trades like masonry, tailoring, and hospitality, with 60 receiving support to start their own businesses. This combined effort ensures both farming and non-farming households have diverse opportunities for economic self-reliance.

Project Achievements: SVSI has already made significant progress in improving sanitation, health, and agricultural practices in Kaule and Siddhi. Households with access to toilets have doubled, and sustainable farming practices have expanded, greatly improving family incomes and nutrition. By integrating these successes with enhanced vocational training, WASH facilities, and ongoing support from the local government, the project aims to ensure long-term growth and prosperity for these communities.
