At Institute of Social Welfare Action
Our Approach to Development
What We Do?
1. Agriculture and Climate Change
At ISWA, we recognize that safeguarding rural livelihoods requires climate-adaptive agriculture that is resource-efficient, inclusive, and locally rooted.
2.Enterprise and Skill Development
Rather than providing direct vocational training, ISWA plays a catalytic and capacity-building role, supporting ecosystem actors to deliver quality enterprise development services in underserved areas.
3. Livelihood Enhancement
At ISWA, livelihood enhancement goes beyond improving agriculture or promoting enterprises. It is about ensuring that every household, especially the most vulnerable, has a reliable, dignified, and resilient source of income.
Our Belief
We believe that sustainable development is not something that can be delivered, it must
be co-created with the people. Our work is driven by the conviction that marginalised
communities, no matter how poor or remote, possess the knowledge, resilience, and capability to
lead their own transformation. What they often lack is access to opportunities, information,
networks, and systems that are meant to serve them.
