Livelihood
Our sustainable livelihood programmes promote sustainable practices in agriculture, animal husbandry, crafts, and business management that merge environmental care, economic growth, and community spirit.
Women Empowerment
To enhance women's social, economic, and political status, we develop education and vocational training programs that provide them with essential skills for financial independence.

We actively engage with our farmers to implement a regenerative agriculture approach, promoting sustainable practices such as crop rotation and holistic livestock management for environmental stewardship.
For the Environment
Energy Efficiency and Clean Cooking
Our initiatives concerning clean cooking and efficient lighting have demonstrated substantial positive impacts on health outcomes, reduced emissions and energy consumption, and preserving local forests. Consequently, these endeavours contribute to enhancing community health and sustainability.
Nature-based Solutions and Large-scale Plantations
At Wipes, we advocate for large-scale plantation initiatives and programs focusing on nature-based solutions for reforestation, afforestation, and the sustainable management of our invaluable natural resources. Our programs are meticulously designed to effectively address climate change, restore vital ecosystems, and promote biodiversity while providing considerable economic benefits to local communities.
Disseminating Appropriate Knowledge
We organise awareness initiatives to clarify carbon footprints and the importance of emission reductions while championing sustainable practices such as waste reduction, recycling, and regenerative agriculture to protect ecosystems and enhance resource management. We aim to strengthen community resilience against climate-related challenges by improving infrastructure and promoting climate-smart policies.

Our Impact Stories
Women Empowerment

various..
Our initiatives to empower women have resulted in significant positive transformations across various
dimensions of society, facilitating progress towards sustainable and equitable development. In the past three
years, our programs have successfully engaged with over 300 women and numerous Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the
states of Assam, Bihar & Jharkhand, thereby improving household incomes, promoting financial independence, and
advancing the health of mothers and children. We continuously work to enable women to advocate for their rights
while fostering sustainable practices and effective resource management.
Livelihood
Our comprehensive livelihood initiatives have successfully elevated community welfare and enhanced economic
stability in over 50 villages and rural areas. Over 500 youths and women from Assam and Bihar have acquired
essential skills through our programs and ignited their entrepreneurial spirit, enabling families to attain
sustainable incomes and significantly improve their quality of life. We are creating more robust livelihood
programs like poultry farming, food processing, community rice banks, fishing and other vocational training to
foster resilient communities and empower individuals to confront challenges confidently and reinvest in their
local economies. By prioritising livelihood development, we aspire to establish a strong foundation for
sustainable growth and promising futures across diverse communities.
AGRICULTURE:
In the rural regions of Assam and Bihar, our organization actively champions sustainable farming practices, crop
diversification, and community engagement, resulting in substantial enhancements to both local livelihoods and
the environment. Our training camps have empowered over 200 farmers to adopt regenerative agricultural methods,
leading to improved soil health, increased biodiversity, and better water retention. These transformative
changes have significantly boosted crop yields while reducing dependence on chemical inputs. Through our
unwavering commitment to sustainability, we are reinforcing farmers' capacity to adapt to climate change and
playing a pivotal role in establishing a resilient food system that ensures economic stability and elevates
quality of life.
NBS
As our communities expand into natural habitats, the likelihood of wildlife encounters
significantly increases; many regions of Assam have experienced this for over a decade. To address
this issue, we are implementing strategic reforestation in the degraded river-washed areas of the
Brahmaputra Valley to establish effective buffer zones that create safe habitats for animals and
minimize their presence in our
neighbourhoods. Furthermore, our NBS programs—including wetland restoration, enhancement of urban
green spaces, and agroforestry practices—incorporate natural processes into frameworks for climate
adaptation, disaster risk management, and sustainable development across various districts in Assam,
Bihar, and Jharkhand, expanding over thousands of hectares of land while adopting sustainable
practices in. building resilient ecosystems for a healthier planet.
Advocacy Campaigns
At WIPES, every project is a commitment to sustainable development goals, and each of them emphasizes the importance of collective action to eradicate poverty, promote gender equality, ensure access to quality education, clean energy & climate action and so forth. Our presentations, seminars and webinars are being organized in various institutions and occasions to make our advocacy more effective while raising awareness about the interconnectedness of the 17 goals and mobilizing governments, businesses, and civil society to align their policies and practices with sustainable development principles. By Engaging communities at all levels, we aspire to share a vision for a more equitable and sustainable future by promoting transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. Ultimately, advocacy towards the SDGs is about inspiring and mobilizing action to achieve a world where no one is left behind and where economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection go hand in hand.
