A Just, enlightened, healthy and democratic Bundelkhand free from hunger, poverty, environmental degradation and all forms of exploitation based on age, sex ,religion and ethnicity. Mission: HARITIKA works with people whose lives are dominated by extreme poverty, illiteracy, disease and other handicaps. With multifaceted development interventions, HARITIKA strives to bring about positive change in the quality of life of the poor people of BUNDELKHAND region of UP and MP. HARITIKA firmly believes and is actively involved in promoting dignity and gender equity through poor people's social, economic, political and human capacity building. Although the emphasis of HARITIKA work is at the individual level and village level sustaining the work of the organization depends on an environment that permits the poor to break out of the cycle of poverty and hopelessness. To this end, HARITIKA endeavors to bring about change at the level of national policy on poverty reduction, water and sanitation and social progress. HARITIKA is committed to making its programmes socially, financially and environmentally sustainable, using new methods and improved technologies. Poverty reduction programmes undertaken so far have bypassed many of the poorest. In this context one of HARITIKA'S main focuses is the ultra poor. With multifaceted development interventions, HARITIKA strives to bring about changes in the quality of life of these people.
