Summary

Poverty is multidimensional. The urban poor not only struggle for a living, they also find it difficult to access housing and basic services (such as water, electricity, etc.) even compared to their rural counterparts, and often end up paying much more to access this due to corruption and lack of identification documents. We work with the urban poor to help them access their rights, so that they can participate in decision-making for themselves and realise their ‘Right to the City’. In rural areas, we focus on promoting natural resource management with sustainable agricultural practices, community empowerment and social protection facilitation.
