  • OFSI IN ACTION

This is what change led from within looks like.

OFSI invests in communities so they grow healthier, more economically resilient, and capable of leading their own change. Here is what that looks like on the ground.

What OFSI Does

UDAAN, AAROGYA, SANKALP in action

UDAAN

Livelihoods in action

Dignified, lasting pathways to income through skilling, enterprise, and financial access, so people earn with confidence and stay earning.

AAROGYA

Health in action

Promotive and preventive health that connects families to care, screening, and support, and builds the habit of seeking health early.

SANKALP

Leadership in action

Leadership is not a separate program. It is what emerges as people move through health and livelihood work, and begin to lead others.

Stories from the Ground

A day in the life of a SARTHI

Behind every program is a SARTHI, a local navigator from the community who helps families reach care and opportunity. Spend a day with two of them.

UDAAN

A Day in the Life of an UDAAN SAARTHI

From skilling sessions to savings and sales, see how one livelihood navigator turns learning into lasting income.

AAROGYA

A day with an AAROGYA SARTHI

From screening camps to follow-ups at the doorstep, see how one health navigator keeps a community connected to care.

  • How We Work

​Partner. Pilot. Progress.

Success is measured by what communities can sustain over time.

Partner

Partner

We listen first. We engage communities and grassroots organisations to understand local realities, identify priorities together, and build trust before building programs.

Pilot

Pilot

We test small and learn fast. Promising ideas are tried, adapted, and refined through continuous feedback from the field.

Progress

Progress

We build for continuity. As pilots mature, we work with partners to build institutional capacity and embed approaches within local systems until communities can sustain the work themselves.
