Significant Achievements

Over three decades, SPEECH has transformed thousands of lives by eliminating child labour, ensuring 100% school enrolment, and enabling higher education for first-generation learners.

Women and Dalit families have gained economic strength, leadership roles, and social dignity through strong community-led institutions built across villages.

Communities today practise social inclusion, climate resilience, and collective decision-making through SHGs, VDCs, youth clubs, and children's platforms.

With restored water bodies, Oxy Parks, and over 62,350 trees planted, villages are now leading sustainable development with confidence and independence.
