About Jonoshakti
Change That Starts in the Community
Jonoshakti means “people’s power”. We believe the people facing poverty, violence and exclusion are the ones best placed to change their lives, given the right skills, support and protection. Our work brings training, healthcare, legal aid and awareness to the communities that need them most.
