Livelihoods & Social Protection
Shurokkha works to strengthen self-reliance and economic resilience among vulnerable households and communities through skills development, income-generating opportunities, entrepreneurship support, and social protection.
Programme Overview
The Livelihoods & Social Protection Programme aims to improve access to sustainable income, employable skills, entrepreneurship opportunities, and appropriate social protection for vulnerable and underserved populations. We design inclusive livelihood interventions based on market demand, local resources, individual capabilities, and household realities.
Why This Programme Matters
Poverty, unemployment, irregular income, skills gaps, and limited access to social protection expose families to economic hardship and recurring crises. Relevant skills, income opportunities, market linkages, and social assistance can help people become self-reliant and better prepared for future shocks.
