About SEWA

SEWA is a non-governmental organization and empowerment-oriented service. It is an organization of poor, vulnerable and every energetic Indian who believes in himself and has the courage to work to turn their big dream into reality. These groups are those that earn a living through their own labor or small businesses. However, their work is not counted and hence remains invisible. In fact, unorganized workers themselves remain uncounted, undercounted and invisible. SEWA's main goals are to organize vulnerable workers for full employment. Full employment means employment whereby workers obtain work security, income security, food security and social security (at least health care, child care, and shelter). SEWA organizes vulnerable section to ensure that every family obtains full employment. By self-reliance, we mean that everyone will be autonomous and self-reliant, individually and collectively, both economically and in terms of their decision-making ability.
