GRAVIS, an organization founded by Gandhian activists, focuses on creating self-reliant village communities among the Thar Desert peoples in Rajasthan, India. GRAVIS’s approach focuses on social transformation rather than economic assistance with programs related to education, health, women’s empowerment and income generation, microcredit, water resource development, agriculture, forestry, land management, and labor rights of mineworkers.
Over the last 25 years, GRAVIS’s programs have grown to serve 500 remote, tribal communities throughout Rajasthan and has helped facilitate more than 2,500 Community Based Organizations (CBOs) that are bringing about measureable changes in their communities. These CBOs are managing natural resources, owning economic inputs and creating viable livelihoods by providing impoverished and excluded communities with water security, agricultural development and health and education services.
