Social and Healthy Action for Rural Empowerment (SHARE) is a grassroots-level, voluntary organization committed to improving the socio-economic, educational, and health status of marginalized communities. Since its inception in 2001, SHARE has actively worked towards integrated rural development, empowering underprivileged groups through sustainable, community-led initiatives.

Our greatest strength lies in our collective spirit and unwavering commitment to social upliftment. Initially driven by local donations and internal resources, our efforts gained significant momentum in November 2006 through a partnership with the Jharkhand Tribal Development Society (JTDS) for the implementation of the IFAD-supported Jharkhand Tribal Development Programme (JTDP). This initiative focused on tribal-dominated areas, particularly the Polka block in East Singhbhum and the Tonto block in West Singhbhum district.

Over the years, SHARE has built a strong reputation with government, semi-government, and private institutions. We have received support from the Central Social Welfare Board, Government of India, UNICEF (under the Behavioral Change Communication program), and the National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML).

A major milestone in our journey has been the mobilization of 70 Self-Help Groups (SHGs) composed of marginalized women. These SHGs promote financial independence, encourage regular savings, and strengthen community participation—making them an essential part of our development model.

In recognition of our efforts, SHARE was awarded Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). This prestigious acknowledgment allows us to participate in global development dialogues, advocate for the underserved, and align with international best practices. It also marks a historic achievement, as SHARE is the first NGO from the remote regions of Jharkhand to receive such recognition.

Through sustained partnerships and a deep-rooted commitment to community-driven change, SHARE continues to expand its reach and impact—ensuring that development is not just implemented, but owned and sustained by the communities themselves.
