View More A Swades Dream Village is a community’s collective vision brought to life through local action,
with support from Swades and the government. It embodies the five defining qualities — our 6 Ss.
Each house has a toilet, drainage system, follows waste segregation and disposal practices and has access to clean drinking water through a tap at home. Village is ODF
The village has good internal roads, painted homes and adequate solar street-lights, making communities feel safe
The village has access to primary healthcare, institutional delivery and knowledge and access to vaccination
Schools are places of joyful learning, with proper WASH facilities so that no child, especially no girl, drops out
Each household is able to make a dignified living with multiple sources of livelihood
Each village embraces climate-conscious living through efforts in waste management, solar energy adoption, soil and water conservation, regenerative farming, and tree plantation.
Placing the community at the heart of change, the Swades 4E Model supports sustained progress and a thoughtful exit.
We involve communities from the start, building relationships and understanding their needs before implementing any programs
We equip communities with the skills, knowledge, and resources to manage and sustain development initiatives
We implement programmes across water, sanitation, health, education and economic development, working with local partners and volunteers
After empowering communities and creating strong ecosystem leaders, we monitor community progress and provide support to ensure long-term sustainability and self-reliance
