 Our Mission

The benefits of traditional "trickle down" approach to economic development takes a long time to reach the rural masses and in its wake produces a widening income gap between the rich and the poor.  Hence, the outflow of people from the countryside to the cities.  To check this outflow of people and stem the increasing income disparities, we are starting a parallel "bottom up" process of development, beginning with providing basic civic amenities of water, sanitation and computer education to rural folks. Villagelife is working, therefore, for the betterment of rural lives; village by village.

 Our objectives

• Each household will be equipped with a fresh running water connection.

• Each household will be equipped with an underground sewage connection feeding into a sewage treatment plant.

• Streets will be paved to eliminate unsanitary puddles.

One computer will be given to each grade/class room with a teacher. Computer literacy is the least expensive way to bring rural children into the 21 st century.

With the infrastructure facilities being established, we will be fulfilling basic physical needs of the people. Some Jobs will be created along with an environment for starting small scale enterprises.

 Our Strategy

Villagelife wishes to help those villages which want to help themselves. If the village folks are not committed to their own improvements, no one else can do the improvements for them. Villagelife aims to catalyse those villagers, including NRIs, who want to improve their villages to join hands with each other in conjunction with their NRI brethren and take the lead in the betterment of lives in their own villages.
