Projects with Aakriti

Past one years, Aakriti’s work has been largely recognized for creating alternate ways for development i.e. material, project as well as community based voluntary actions for empowerment and rural development. Using urban surplus materials as a powerful resource for small scale development works across the South Rajasthan; ranging from education, awareness, distribution, skill development, livelihood, menstrual hygiene, and sustainability to environment. Spread across different villages, Aakriti’s work puts transparency, empathy and dignity first and foremost. Our holistic view of rural development is rooted in not only fulfilling their basic needs but empowering them to be the decision makers. Annually engaging in 20+ projects works in 3 district in South Rajasthan (from cloth distribution, awareness drives with government institutions to skill development, sports distribution in government schools etc.) involves a big logistical cost of processing, materials and transportation to operate on multiple district.
