Manjhi Development Foundation for Skilling

Manjhi Theory of Change

Much of the time we use the term theory of change, we are trying to unpack how a given organisation or program anticipates bringing about the desired change.

The What

We are trying to solve the problem of unemployment of urban poor, both street and slum youth, due to lack of access to income-generating skills and entrepreneurial ideas.

The How

By making skill development courses accessible.
By encouraging and nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset by imparting life skills alongside technical skills and financial know how.
By engaging with learners, both academic and non-academic, to map their careers and provide customised career guidance, planning,and ultimately placements.

Our Mission

To source and provide young adults with vocational and employable skills. To enable adults to create a means of livelihood for themselves by training them in income-generating skills

Our Vision

Every child learns an income generating skill which enables them to live with dignity and free choice. All adults have access to learning a viable source of livelihood.

Our Values

❄ Honesty
❄ Persistence
❄ Happiness
❄ Hope

Why Manjhi ?

We see latent potential in every person we meet, real talent which may just be wasted, abilities which are ignored in the race for survival. This is a tragedy which was crying out to be addressed.

We also believe that once sincerity of purpose is established, most people want to reach out and help.

Hence Manjhi intends to take on the role of enabler and connector, using all the resources and connections we can generate, to be the oarsman who helps narrow the gap between the haves and the have nots.

It is our continued and sincere attempt to be the Manjhi that enables people from the lesser privileged shores cross over to the privileged mainstream.
