Impacting Livelihoods to Enable Rural Communities H.S.D.S mission is rooted in a clear understanding of the societal contexts that make poverty in India complex, a phenomenon which thrives in various interrelated factors including:
• The rural poor’s view of themselves;
• Their understanding and skills to deal with outside systems;
• Their access to resources;
• Over the Six years that it has worked with India’s rural poor, H.S.D.S has learned valuable lessons that serve as a guide to fulfilling the organization’s mission. Among those learning are the following:
• Alleviating rural poverty is an extremely challenging task. Development efforts must be conducted with the collaboration of different and equally interested actors in order to make an impact.
• Rural communities are fragmented along caste and class lines. These tend to restrict the effectiveness of joint action for development. Among the rural poor, women are generally marginalized, yet they prove to be more effective agents of social change. Sadly, however, such potential is not well-recognized.
