SPARC
Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centers
Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centers is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that has been a trustworthy supporter in the urban poor’s journey towards better living conditions in India. For over three decades, SPARC, in collaboration with its community-based social movements, the National Slum Dwellers’ Federation (NSDF) and Mahila Milan, has been at the forefront of championing the rights and well-being of the urban poor.
In the rapidly urbanising landscape of India, millions of marginalised families live under the constant threat of evictions and demolitions, often in informal settlements with inadequate access to basic amenities. SPARC’s mission is to empower these communities, providing them with the tools and resources they need to engage with government authorities and city stakeholders actively. Through this engagement, SPARC facilitates the creation of a strong and unified voice for the urban poor, enabling them to advocate for their rights and secure permanent housing solutions.
