LIVELIHOOD

India’s present urban system includes about 7933 cities and towns of varying population sizes, and many of these cities and towns are included in the massive expansion of urban growth that was registered over the 2001- 2011 decade. The United Nations estimates that most population increase in the future will be reported from the urban areas itself –  by 2030, 165 million additional people are expected to be living in urban areas.

​

With India becoming increasingly globalized and urban, there is also an increase in the number of poor people living here. As per the latest NSSO survey reports there are over 80 million poor people living in the cities and towns of India. The Slum population is also increasing and as per TCPO estimates 2001, over 61.80 million people were living in slums. It is interesting to note that the ratio of urban poverty in some of the larger states is higher than that of rural poverty leading to the phenomenon of ‘Urbanization of Poverty’. Urban poverty poses the problems of housing and shelter, water, sanitation, health, education, social security and livelihoods along with special needs of vulnerable groups like women, children and aged people. Poor people live in slums which are overcrowded, often polluted and lack basic civic amenities like clean drinking water, sanitation and health facilities. Most of them are involved in informal sector activities where there is constant threat of eviction, removal, confiscation of goods and almost non-existent social security cover.

What We Do

TSEWCT supports particularly urban slum dwellers, women & youth to attain sustainable livelihood opportunities by providing microfinance and infrastructure for new start ups, skill development training for unemployed youth & women and linking them to the job market.

​

How We Do?

  • Identifying the vulnerable youth and poor families through our ground survey department.

  • Orienting them on alternative livelihood options

  • Providing microfinance with zero interest rate for new start ups.

  • Establishing appropriate tie ups and providing suitable skill training and support.

  • Creating linkages between available skills and market opportunities. 

  • Promoting Entrepreneurship by providing infrastructure and resources.

  • Advocating and raising awareness on discriminatory practices as well as social and cultural barriers of society. 

TSEWCT was established in 2010. Since our inception, we have found huge gaps between wealthy and needy families. We focused our work on reducing poverty by developing and implementing sustainable projects which help communities raise their living standards.


Our fundamental is the survey mechanisms that we implement before designing any project. TSEWCT made the household survey mandatory through which we are able to ascertain actual needs and develop a solution for them. After proper inquiries, we conclude on which members are the most deserving. This evaluation takes into consideration various factors like family members including but not limited to - their age and health, educational status, destitution, disabilities, marital status (special preference given to deserted women, elderly widows, single mothers, pregnant women), we also work closely in supporting older members of the community who aren’t supported by anyone else by the form of elderly pensions.

​

TSEWCT ensures that our program services are open and available to all persons or families without regard to race, religion, creed, gender, ethnic orgin or any other discriminatory measure.
