About us

Who we are

We are a community of dedicated volunteers, inspired by the profound teachings of Silo (silo.net). Our organization is driven by a collective commitment to make a positive impact on the world through voluntary work. Silo’s teachings serve as a guiding light, motivating us to actively engage in initiatives that contribute to the betterment of society.

At the heart of our NGO is a passionate group of individuals who have chosen to channel their energy and skills towards creating positive change. Our volunteers, drawn together by a shared belief in Silo’s philosophy, work tirelessly and selflessly to address pressing issues and bring about meaningful improvements in the lives of those in need.

Or central mission revolves around the relentless pursuit of alleviating human suffering by empowering individuals to actively contribute to the establishment of a more equitable society. We passionately believe that by fostering a sense of empowerment among people, we can catalyze positive change on a broader scale, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond immediate impacts.

Our Mission

At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to placing the well-being of individuals at the forefront, fostering unity, and championing eco-social equality within the underprivileged communities of India. Our dedicated focus extends particularly to women, children, and youth, recognizing the unique challenges they face. Through a multifaceted approach centered around education and skills development, we aspire to empower these marginalized segments of society, providing them with the tools and knowledge to break the cycle of poverty and achieve sustainable, meaningful change.
