A P S A
The Association for Promoting Social Action
We are a rights-based child-centred community development organisation. We work towards the development of the community through a systematic process of empowerment. Our partners in this process are communities of street children, child labourers and other children in distress, including abandoned and runaway children, child victims of abuse and prostitution, children of sex workers as well as the larger communities of the urban slums.
APSA, with more than two decades of grassroots experience, has led from the front in designing unique programmes. It combines paradigms of selfsufficiency at the micro level with advocacy campaigns and policy planning at the state and national levels. APSA believes in the strength of the People and their ability to fight for their own rights. We build our work on the premise that all people have equal rights irrespective of their socio-economic, political or cultural backgrounds
