The core idea that led to the formation of Uravu Trust in 1996 was revitalizing indigenous knowledges and upgrading productive skills of people were essential for ensuring sustainable development of rural areas. The trust’s activities were borne out of the realization that ensuring access to resources- natural resources used as raw materials for production; appropriate skills and technologies; finance and markets etc- was essential for overall development of marginalized social groups. The key objective of the organization is to improve livelihood sustenance of women & marginalized people through sustainable entrepreneurship.
