Shashwat Trust, Junnar

Shashwat Trust, Junnar is a non-profit organisation working with tribal and dam-affected communities across Ambegaon, Junnar and Khed in Pune district, Maharashtra. Our work grew out of a movement for dam-affected families that began in 1999. The Trust was formally established in 2017 to carry that work forward.

​

We work with communities to strengthen livelihoods and improve access to essential services. In practice, that means helping farmers share solar-powered irrigation, supporting women’s self-help groups with savings and skills training, bringing health camps closer to villages, and helping Katkari families access essential documents and rehabilitation support. The aim is to build on local skills and resources so that families can sustain these improvements over time.
