Skillshare International works with partner organisations in India and Nepal.
Through our Integrating Development and Conflict Transformation programme, we also work in Cambodia.
Skillshare International's programme in India focuses
on community health, HIV and AIDS, disability and livelihoods.
We also support programmes in environment & natural
resource management and the economic & socio-political
empowerment of disadvantaged communities such as tribals,
Dalits and artisans, focusing on women and children.

We work with partner organisations (NGOs) in eight Indian states - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,
Kerala, Jharkahnd, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu
and Uttaranchal. We do this through skills development,
programme funding and building the capacity of our
partner organisations in fundraising, communications
and building networks and coalitions. Our development
workers include medical professionals, ethno-botanists and textile
designers. Our partner organisations work mainly with rural
communities in mountainous, forested areas who are
economically and socio-politically excluded. These
communities lack sustainable incomes and have high
levels of illiteracy, ill health and barely any access
to education and health care facilities.
