Poverty Alleviation Initiative

The Vattikuti Foundation has been committed to improving the socio-economic dynamics of India’s less fortunate since 2009. Our research shows that many people living in the more remote rural regions have no productive assets, and face a continued struggle to ensure food security, adequate healthcare and a multitude of interrelated livelihood issues. We have developed novel initiatives to help guide these individuals and their families to self-sufficiency and to connect them economically to the mainstream markets.
