Grassroots Empowerment

In addition to the services in career guidance and educational programs for various institutions, CIGI has also been organizing several endeavours with an optimal intention to uplift marginalized communities. There are many people among us who are deprived of being at the receiving end of the progress our nation and the world has been making. Most of them are left neglected as they belong to the lower strata of social hierarchy but CIGI is not ready to leave them there.

Grassroots empowerment is an effort from our side to support socially and economically disadvantaged people, at the unprivileged sphere of society. CIGI has been paying keen attention in systematically empowering the people in need, especially in enabling the backward and disadvantaged communities to be nation builders by stimulating their dreams and aspirations. CIGI envisions a tomorrow where everyone is self equipped to face the challenges of the modern world.

If you are one among those who dream of empowering your neighbourhood community, ready to work for the betterment of their lives, CIGI offers you that very helping hand. You can get access to our services ranging from career guidance to training programmes for leaders, youth and family, competency development programmes and many more. Our team will be able to effectively design a customised project for your empowered, self-sufficient, vibrant and influential dream community.

Research and Publications

Though we try our best to reach out to those in need, to spread our service to every nook and corner of the country with an intention to clear all barriers that prevent young talented minds from participating in effective social construction, there might still be issues that we failed to address. But our research team is in constant motion to discover and deal with such issues for the betterment of society.

CIGI is actively engaged in social research, and this has resulted in several studies and publications. Our publication division has brought out several socially relevant studies and books to the general public, many of which are being quoted by researchers and students.

CIGI Women Collective (CWC)

Women empowerment has always been one of the core objectives of our organisation. Women are considered the pillar of strength in the building of a modern society. CIGI has always ensured women participation in its services with special consideration given for their empowerment and upliftment.

CIGI Women Collective (CWC) is a wing of CIGI, contributing uniquely in extending the mission of CIGI to every nook and corner, by ensuring participation of more women. Though there are a lot of agencies and organisations working to cement the position of women in society and equip them to fight against the injustices faced, it is a fact that there are still many women in need of acceptance and consideration. The success of CIGI Women Collective is valid evidence for that.

Though CWC is a relatively new wing, it has become one of the most well received movements of CIGI. This arm of CIGI is active in many districts and is engaged in remarkable works, empowering and strengthening women to be equal partners in the society.

Orphan and Widow Empowerment

CIGI is an organization that aims at spreading its service to all spheres of society including the ones hitherto neglected by mainstream establishments. We have special communities designed to facilitate empowerment of a variety of strata in the wide social structure. In addition to providing assistance to marginalized communities, CIGI further stretches out its helping hands to orphan students and their mothers in terms of both educational and psychological support. We have special projects designed for deserving people with lack of familial support.

Students Training for Excellence in Performance (STEP) is one among such specially designed projects particularly meant for talented orphan students. Through this project, we impart rigorous training to students residing in orphanages, through a wide variety of programmes, equipping them to be better individuals and to achieve remarkable success. Many STEP alumni have achieved glorious feet in their life and they stand as a testimony to the effectiveness of this project. Over the years STEP was able to mentor several hundreds of orphan students who were residents of orphanages across the state.

Supportive Active Foster Assistance (SAFA) is yet another project to empower orphans and their mothers into self sufficient family units. Our novel model of home-based foster care has received recognition from every nook and corner. The well-established system of assistance is designed not only to support the children in education, but also enable their mothers to obtain vocational training and become self-reliant. Our team also encourages them to join in continuing- education programmes.

The project is run with the help of trained fellows chosen by CIGI, who connect with the families directly. Currently SAFA is active in 6 locations where several families live together.

- Kozhikode - Nainamvalapp, Odumbra, Snehatheeram, Kuttyadi and Moozhikkal.
- Ernakulam - Mattanchery.
