ASSCOD believes that empowered women lead to empowered communities. Its vision is to enable economically independent rural women who can lead their families and bring prosperity to their communities. Its mission revolves around equipping women with financial literacy and livelihood skills through community-based models, particularly Self-Help Groups (SHGs).

Major Interventions:

Women's Livelihood Development: ASSCOD strongly emphasizes economic empowerment of women, especially in tribal and underserved communities. Through initiatives such as interest-free microloans and skill development in tailoring, jute, and wire bag making, women are trained and supported to start income-generating activities. The formation of the “Wings to Fly” trust, managed by tribal women, further sustains this impact. These efforts not only boost family incomes but also build women’s confidence and autonomy.

Environmental Sustainability: In regions lacking reliable electricity, ASSCOD distributes portable solar lights to tribal families. This initiative improves household safety and enables children to study after dark. Women also benefit by using the lights to cook and perform household tasks in the evenings. These solar solutions contribute to better health by reducing the use of kerosene lamps and enhancing the overall quality of life in remote areas.

Education Support: ASSCOD supports children’s education through a range of initiatives, including installing RO plants and constructing sanitation facilities in government schools to enhance school attendance, especially among girls. Scholarships, school transportation, and evening tuition centers help underprivileged children continue their studies and perform better academically

Health and Well-being: It addresses healthcare gaps through anemia correction programs, adolescent girls' nutrition initiatives, and donations of medical equipment to Primary Health Centres. It also ensures access to clean drinking water through RO plant installations in water-scarce tribal areas.
