Rural India, with its 280 million people living 'below the poverty line', may fairly be called the world's biggest single poverty trap.

People who are poor, powerless and without hope – wherever they are – are a concern of global significance.  Rural India remains the world’s biggest poverty trap, with over a quarter of a billion people living on less than a dollar, or 50p, per day.  They are the other face of India.  Governments have failed them, the media with rare exceptions ignores them.

Jeevika Trust has touched more than 100,000 lives over the last decade and continues to work with people on the margins of rural society – low-caste and tribal people, especially women – to help them build and sustain their individual, family and community livelihoods.

With your help, we will touch many, many more lives by 2010.  We believe in an India without absolute poverty where all people have the opportunity to live with dignity, free from hunger, deprivation and marginalisation.
