Our vision is “People Based and Gender Sensitive Development”. This guides us to work with a clear focus on community based and community managed models having children, adolescent girls and women in center of development processes. Community based programming and ownership, cross cutting sectorial issues, convergence with government services & system, communication for behavioral change & development and capacity building for sustainability are essential parts of our models.  

Our mission aims at supporting and facilitating children, adolescent girls, women and community in such a way that they are able to integrate their potential, wisdom and resources to command development process on their own.We facilitate by evolving and implementing strategies, approaches and platforms for participatory planning, social and behavior change communication, community ownership, capacity building and mainstreaming with public systems. While implementing integrated and sector specific strategies, Sarathi functions as resource  organization  also to build capacities of  civil society organizations,  government functionaries, community based organizations, volunteers and social networks for wider outreach in regards to our visions and mission.
