Rojiroti gives India’s rural poor the power to make their own decisions about their lives and finances. The Rojiroti Approach supports impoverished people in their efforts to improve their lives, rather than imposing an agenda on them. By participating in Rojiroti’s model of self-help groups, these people learn to help themselves and each other.

The project’s target is to directly benefit half a million people who depend on natural resources in Northern and Central India within three years.

The project is funded by the Research into Use (RIU) Programme, a major initiative of the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID). It is one of 13 projects supported by RIU’s Innovation Challenge Fund Asia.

An international coalition of three organisations implements the project and aims to form broader partnerships with other organizations that can help it reach even more beneficiaries.
