SEMI NGO

The Arbor villages in India are engaged in a process of community-based organization inspired by Gandhian Swaraj, the principle of self-management that reclaims the autonomy of communities through the panchayat and village assemblies. Every village is organized as an independent core that achieves its autonomy through the management of voluntary groups of women who together head a program of strengthening, community capacity-building, and a plan of action and interventions that, over time, involve the whole village and its inhabitants.
