VIEWS believes that lasting change in vulnerable communities is possible through integrated, community-led development focused on education, livelihoods, and climate resilience. Our Theory of Change is rooted in the belief that empowering women, youth, children, persons with disabilities, and tribal groups leads to inclusive, just, and sustainable progress.
We promote quality education, digital literacy, and life skills among children and youth to unlock their potential, strengthen critical thinking, and improve their life choices. Simultaneously, we enhance sustainable livelihoods through climate-smart agriculture, rural entrepreneurship, poultry, and green skills, helping small farmers and women generate stable income and food security.
These two pillars—education and livelihoods—together enable social and economic empowerment. Education builds confidence, awareness, and aspirations, while livelihoods ensure dignity, independence, and resilience. This combination fosters active citizenship, leadership, and collective action in communities.
Cross-cutting issues such as inclusion, gender equality, and climate change are woven into every intervention, ensuring no one is left behind and all communities are better prepared for future challenges.
Ultimately, empowered individuals and communities experience a lasting improvement in their quality of life—the core impact that VIEWS strives for. This is made possible through collaboration with an enabling ecosystem of government agencies, donors, academia, media, and civil society.
This comprehensive framework forms the foundation of VIEWS’ Theory of Change: empowering communities, enabling systems, and building resilient, dignified, and self-reliant futures—together.

Since 2019, the Swiss Women’s League has had the pleasure of collaborating with VIEWS and currently support a multi-year project in Odisha. VIEWS stands out as a highly professional and trustworthy organisation, with a clear commitment to social justice and inclusion. Their work with marginalised communities—especially women, girls, and youth from Dalit and tribal backgrounds—is rooted in strong local ownership and delivers visible, sustainable results. The project planning and implementation are systematic and transparent, and the quality of narrative and financial reporting is consistently excellent. We deeply appreciate this partnership and hold VIEWS in high regard for their integrity, accountability, and grassroots impact.”
