- 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.
Partner. Pilot. Progress.
Success is measured by what communities can sustain over time.

Partner
We listen first. We engage communities and grassroots organisations to understand local realities, identify priorities together, and build trust before building programs.
Pilot
We test small and learn fast. Promising ideas are tried, adapted, and refined through continuous feedback from the field.
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.
Access and Pathways created for Healthcare and Livelihood
Reach is the start. Outcomes are the point.
