ESAF

Evangelical Social Action Forum (ESAF) was formed as a response to the widening partiality of prosperity in society. We partner with government agencies, community bodies, NGOs and corporates to deliver lasting change to the poor and the marginalised, especially women and children. Driven by the vision for a just and fair society, our interventions are based on a social business model focussing on creating livelihood opportunities for the underprivileged. One of the pioneers in forming women self-help groups, ESAF has more than 3.3 million SHG members who are agents of social transformation in their communities. Motivated by the faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ, ESAF was formed by a small group of like-minded individuals committed to love their neighbours- the poor and the vulnerable- as themselves. Through our integrated approach to development, we have impacted more 3.3 million families across 16 states in India and we will continue to serve all people regardless of religion, race, or gender till we witness a just and fair society.
