Building Sustainable Communities
SPAN's Work
The Society for People’s Awareness (SPAN) is an NGO dedicated to empowering marginalized communities in West Bengal and Jharkhand through democratic, participatory approaches that foster active citizenship and community ownership. Focusing on women, youth, and children from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), minorities, and socio-economically disadvantaged groups, SPAN’s programs span urban and rural areas in West Bengal and Dumka district in Jharkhand. Their initiatives, such as Early Childhood Care and Education, Supplementary Education, Youth as Changemakers, and Narishakti, aim to uplift these communities through education, leadership, and skill-building, improving quality of life and promoting long-term change. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like No Poverty, Good Health, Quality Education, Gender Equality, and Reduced Inequalities, SPAN is committed to fostering social equity, sustainable development, and democratic practices, embodying the core values of Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity as outlined in the Indian Constitution.
Our Approach
SPAN’s efforts for community empowerment are guided by democratic methods and participatory activities. The underlying goal is to foster responsible citizenship and community ownership, helping members identify problems and find solutions through collective action and decision-making. To achieve this, SPAN follows an 8-step process for all its programmatic interventions.
