Sai Social Empowerment Society (SSES NGO) is a research-based nonprofit organisation established in 1999, working to create sustainable livelihoods, enterprises and economic opportunities for women, youth, farmers, artisans and underserved communities.

With over two decades of grassroots experience, SSES works across livelihoods, women’s entrepreneurship, agriculture, producer development, handicrafts, food processing, digital inclusion, green livelihoods and rural enterprise development. The organisation collaborates with government, development institutions and partners to design and implement scalable, measurable and community-led solutions.

SSES follows a livelihood-to-enterprise approach, combining skill development, entrepreneurship, technology, value addition and market linkages to help communities move from training to sustainable income, self-reliance and dignified work.

Vision

To build inclusive, healthy, resilient and sustainable communities where women, youth, farmers, weavers, marginalised and vulnerable households have access to opportunities, skills, sustainable livelihoods, quality health services and a safe and healthy environment, enabling them to lead dignified and better lives.

Mission

SSES works with communities, government, corporates, CSR partners, development organisations and civil society to translate the Sustainable Development Goals into meaningful local action. We promote inclusive livelihoods, health, education, skills, gender equality, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and climate resilience through evidence-based programmes, capacity building, innovation and partnerships.

We use data, technology, transparent governance and measurable outcomes to develop sustainable and scalable solutions, ensuring that vulnerable communities are not left behind.
