Samerth is connected with the marginal community in chhattisgarh. They are working in rural livelihood, natural resources management, and education. They have been did a fantastic work specially with the tribal community in Bilaspur, Kabirdham, and Surajpur district of chhattisgarh.
I have been associated with Samerth for the last three years. Samerth team is extensively working on water conservation, safe drinking water, and livelihood promotion in the Bhachau and Rapar block of the Kutch district. Through the effort of the Samerth team, many hamlets in Rapar block have become water secured. Samerth team helped the community to restore rainwater through the physical intervention of water conservation. Apart from this, the Samerth team also helps communities to access government social security schemes and employment generation of MGNREGA for marginalized communities.

I have known Samerth Charitable Trust since the past decade, and their commitment towards empowering communities and endeavor for an equal world is unsurpassed. I am especially moved by their centre for children (called the Samerth Talim Kendra) with disabilities in Vejalpur area in Ahmedabad. The centre has been steadily increasing the number of children it reaches since inception and currently works with 86 children from marginalized, vulnerable families. These are children, who suffer from intellectual disabilities , they are equipped with speech, phyiso, sensory, psycho therapies and regular visits to neuro pediatrician and ENT specialist. The team of special educators is doing phenomenal work and the community support & involvement in the centre activities wonderful. Keep up the good work Samerth team!
Samerth Trust is unique in many ways:
1. It works with the most marginalised groups in the region of Kutch, Ahmedabad, and Chhattisgarh
2. It believes in playing a role of a facilitator and empowering the local community to resolve their issues
3. The team has a strong conviction that people live in poverty due to systemic issues and/or due to historical legacy and therefore has to be addressed from the roots.

To yield and maintain sustainable impact, Samerth’s interventions have participatory approach that involves target groups as well as local institutions.
I have worked with Samerth Charitable Trust as a volunteer and would say that it is a great place to work with a very friendly team of all ages. Being able to have this non profit organization so close to home is a great way for not only myself but for others to get a much needed helping hand. The care and trust they provide to the underprivileged kids and community is commendable. The experience truly made me a better person, taught me new things and has allowed me to see the world differently. It was my pleasure working in the NGO who is working for the betterment and for the welfare of the people.
