The organization now has more than 90 full time professionals and 150 community based volunteers striving hard for the betterment of 125 slums and 11 blocks of Kanpur and Dehat districts of Kanpur.

The early years of its inception were very genuinely spent in identifying the problems of the community and their root causes. Right from 1986, the organization was working along with the people and for the people to better understand their priorities and the needs of the community. Based on these findings, there emerged Self Help Groups for the empowerment of people. These groups became one of the core strengths of Shramik Bharti and worked for the slums of both rural and urban areas of Kanpur. Importance was given to the creation of sanitation infrastructure and the introduction of health care facilities in these areas. From then onwards, there is no look back for Shramik Bharati. It had taken up many useful activities for the betterment of the people and the community. To cite a few, reclamation of waste land for generation of livelihood, establishing partnerships with support organizations to cater to the needs of the society, respecting people’s choices and assisting them to improve upon those areas etc.
To achieve their objectives and goals Shramik Bharti focuses on three core areas. They are Micro Finance and Livelihood Promotion, Community Health and Grass root Democracy.

Boond Bachat
Under microfinance programs ‘Boond Bachat’ and ‘Self Help Groups’ Federations play an important role. Shramik Bharti started a direct money lending program in 1989 which is known as ‘Boond Bachat’. The idea behind this program is the small amount of money that is being saved initially, will gradually grow and becomes an investment one day. This program was launched in the urban slums and it slowly spread to rural areas. This micro finance program has served nearly 10,000 members in 92 villages and 62 slums of Kanpur city and districts.

Eri Silk
Kanpur and its surrounding areas comprise of abundant raw material to rear eri-silk worms which yield eri-silk.

Shramik Bharti implemented this program through SHGs. It has appointed three master trainers from Assam to train people in ericulture. Now there are more than 95 families involved in this program. About 60 women have been trained for the same. This silk will be exported to many places in India.

Adopt a Granny
This program of Shramik Bharti is the charity based and is supported by Helpage.

Shramik Bharti appointed a five member committee to support such people and fulfill their basic day today needs.
Grassroot Democracy
Our country is still facing certain socio-economic challenges. To overcome these, community based organizations need to go hand in hand with the public organizations both at rural and urban levels. Shramik Bharti strongly believes in this principle and working hard to attend the challenges at grass root level.
Thus, Shramik Bharti as a nonprofit, non-governmental organization is striving hard to build a strong community where there are no traces of poverty and women are empowered to handle their own lives with immense confidence.
