"To make the journey of life eventful I chose the intruded way and at the destination when I turned back I could see a swarm of people following the same social cause" 

Manavta Foundation empowers local communities to take action to preserve their environment and natural resources for themselves and future generations. We achieve this though community participation in our projects and activities and ensuring local people are consulted throughout the process of development. We strive for a sustainable future for mankind based on social justice and believe that this can only be achieved though the up-holding of all human rights and the rule of law.

We work to achieve:
Safe, sufficient and sustainable water resources for all.
Sustainably produced nutritious and healthy food for both current and future generations.
The sustainable use of unpolluted natural resources; maintaining biodiversity and improving human health.
Equality amongst marginalized communities, by safeguarding human rights and enhancing environmental conditions.

Manavta Foundation undertakes this work through scientific research, campaigns, advocacy and grass-root level community involvement.

As a public interest organization the Manavta Foundation focuses on strengthening local communities through their active participation in the decision making process to achieve sustainable development for the community as a whole. We believe that environmental degradation can only be addressed adequately if local people are empowered in decision making at all levels and have control over their natural resources.
