Changing the lives of tribal people is a continuous process. The problem we are facing is huge but your contribution makes a difference. It certainly does. A small amount goes a long way. Collectively all the small contributions do add up to a large amount needed to effect change. You can also partner with us to contribute money, material, time or skills. Collectively we can bring the desired change and this is the fundamental principle on which Shashwat works.
