harkhand Aanchal Foundation (JAF) is a women headed, non-profit organization registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. Committed to empowering women, children, and marginalized communities, JAF primarily serves the Dalit and tribal populations of the Santhal Pargana and Chotanagpur regions. Our mission is to foster equality, social justice, and sustainable development, with a special focus on protecting fundamental civil and human rights and promoting environmental sustainability.
At JAF, we recognize the deep-seated challenges of oppression, exploitation, and socio-economic disparities faced by these communities.
To address these issues, we implement a holistic, community-based approach that emphasizes:
✔ Awareness-building on rights and entitlements
✔ Skill development & vocational training for self-reliance
✔ Livelihood promotion & economic empowerment
✔ Education & child welfare initiatives
✔ Nutrition, health, and safety programs for women and children
✔ Environmental conservation through afforestation, pollution control, and sustainable farming
Through our integrated programs, we work in 70 villages, directly impacting the lives of over 3000 women and 1,500 children, particularly from the Santhal and Pahariya tribes. By collaborating with local stakeholders, civil society, and government agencies, JAF continues to drive meaningful and sustainable change, ensuring that marginalized communities gain the dignity, security, and opportunities they rightfully deserve.
With an unwavering commitment to social transformation and environmental protection, Jharkhand Aanchal Foundation envisions a future where every individual, regardless of caste, gender, or socio-economic status, can lead a life of dignity, self-sufficiency, and hope in harmony with nature.
