OUR HISTORY
SOIR-IM’s primary mission is to fight poverty and exclusion and contribute to lasting change for individuals in particularly vulnerable situations.
SOIR-IM was established in the 1970s with an aim to work for the under privileged people and Tibetan refugees in India, in the areas of education, health and livelihood. Having served for nearly 50 years in the country, SOIR-IM now strives to support and empower marginalised people to lead a dignified life.
SOIR-IM is committed to work with the most vulnerable community, particularly women and youth, differently abled, Tibetan refugees with difficult situations along with like- minded civil society.
Our emphasis is on strengthening civil society organizations contributing to societal change and where vulnerable women and youth have increased their ability to social and economic inclusion and thereby creating a more equal society. SOIR-IM facilitates works of other civil society organisations in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and West Bengal.
