Iswar Sankalpa is a non-profit organization started in 2007 with the hope of reaching out to the ‘forgotten’ and ‘untouchable’ population – that of the homeless persons with psychosocial disabilities on the streets of Kolkata.
Iswar Sankalpa’s work in the global context can be understood as an intersection between health, gender, and rights, aimed at providing a holistic support system to help persons with psychosocial disabilities live a dignified life.
Our work compliments the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, which provides an outline through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. Its key focus is to work towards providing equitable opportunities for all persons, hence contributing to a life of inclusion for those on the margins.
