Sustainable Livelihoods
Building on the Wealth of the Poor
Dr. Naresh Singh's Sustainable Livelihoods is offering a solution that does not advocate any ideological change but works with and within any of the "isms". It is basically about working with small groups within any nation to develop whatever economic activity they are engaged in, that is marginally subsistent, into something more productive, viable and sustainable in the long run to both the group and the eco-system in which economic activity is based.
