Help Society

Mission

Established in 1995, HELP seeks to address poverty, dispossession and injustice faced by social groups who have been marginalized by the process of modernization.

HELP works in cooperation with organizations who are encouraging collective action to:

1. facilitate local initiatives that address primary concerns (food, water, shelter and health);

2. gain control over necessary productive resources (land, water and forests);

3. hold governments accountable for their role in distributing societies' resources and ensuring compliance with international human rights, including social and cultural rights and conventions;

4. confront local exploitation based on gender, class, caste and ethnicity;

5. facilitate the development of people's organizations/local movements that serve the collective interests of impoverished/marginalized communities.
