To make human settlements an equitable living environment, where all residents and vulnerable people have access to basic needs for development like health, education, essential infrastructure services and livelihood options, irrespective of their economic and social status.
Work with 5 million individuals in Ahmedabad by 2026 subject to funding
Capabilities:
1. Integrated development interventions based on needs and market alignment
2. Credibility and trust built over 34 years
3. Resources are invested in and mentoring is provided to teams at all levels.
4. A mix of professionals, thematic individuals, and community representatives makes up the internal strategic management group. It serves as a sounding board for the development of new innovations and interventions.
5. Board members' active participation and mentoring.
6. Utilizing technology throughout the implementation process.
Challenges:
1. An inadequate understanding of the standard offerings of Saath's preschool centers versus Anganwadis.
2. It is difficult to track impact when we work closely with migrant children at construction sites. It is therefore challenging to find reliable and consistent funding support over the long term.
3. Saath had agreed to work with 5 million individuals in Ahmedabad untill 2026, but the sudden withdrawal from the donor agency was a major setback.

Tanzania-born NRI, Rajendra Joshi arrived in Gujarat for higher studies and decided to stay on. He began his career as a medical representative when a chance meeting with the late Roman Catholic priest Father Ramiro Erviti in Ahmedabad changed his life. Erviti, who worked in the slums, told him a sense of self respect had to be built in its dwellers. Rajendra Joshi strongly believes that slums are not irrelevant offshoots hindering Ahmedabad’s urban renewal but necessary peripheries that are keeping its centre alive.“Most people living in slums want to upgrade their lives. They don’t want freebies, despite what most people think. They just need initial support to be able to live well on their own. Saath wants to prove that they are willing to pay for services,”
Saath began as a Charitable Trust in 1989 with 2 members carrying out activities with youth in Sakalchand-mukhini- chali in Behrampura. On request of the local residents, who had many relatives in this areathis work was expanded to Vasna, a fast growing slum owing to its proximity to the highway and nearby villages. This gradually led to an Integrated Slum Development Project in Ahmedabad involving the local community. It pioneered in rejuvenating underprivileged slums and vulnerable neighborhoods into self-sustaining and developed communities changing the environment of urban slums. The programmes have since expanded to cover livelihoods, skill development, health and education, rights, urban governance, financial inclusion, rehabilitation and resettlement and other community development initiatives. Saath through its one-stop centers provides supports to slum dwellers to obtain government identities, providing them access to public benefit schemes, imparting skills leading to employment, micro-finance for vital personal consumption and setting up SMEs and providing access to habitable environment and basic education.
To make human settlements an equitable living environment, where all residents and vulnerable people have access to basic needs for development like health, education, essential infrastructure services and livelihood options, irrespective of their economic and social status.
Saath envisions inclusive and empowered communities and individuals.
