Geographical Coverage

We work across three districts of Jharkhand — Hazaribagh, Chatra, and Giridih — with active efforts underway to expand further.

Where we work

Three districts. One mission.

All three districts are in Jharkhand's central belt — a region with significant tribal population, forest dependence, and chronic gaps in education, health, and livelihood infrastructure.
