Making People Self Reliant

Citizens Foundation is a non–profit organization which has evolved from its humble beginnings in Jharkhand in 1997 and has so far registered its presence with pioneering work in the development sector in over 10 states of India as a national level organization. As a signatory of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), CF has worked towards its vision of ‘Making People Self Reliant’ over the past two decades.

Over the last 20 years, we have evolved the expertise in health, Sanitation, Natural Resource Management, Livelihood Promotion, and Protection. We have delivered advocacy and techno–managerial support to the rural communities and are currently executing projects across the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, Meghalaya and Assam.

CF has focused its expertise towards strengthening the existing government programs via technical and operational support systems. We ensured that these efforts attain a self–sustaining momentum; enriching the target communities with a sustainable continuum through partnerships with Government of India, several State Governments, UN Agencies, PSUs, Corporate and other national and international level organizations. Committed towards working for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), CF is making continued efforts at making its initiatives and projects sustainable for the community and the world at large.
