About us
Empowering Tribal Communities
Don Bosco Tribal Development Society has been working in Jawadhi hills for the past 45yrs. Jawadhi hills is a range of hills in the eastern ghats of southern India, and is home to a tribal population of about 60,000 people in roughly 400 villages and hamlets. Situated in a reserve forest, this area has only 3 main arterial roads connecting it to the plains, and very few roads with, making access to education, healthcare and livelihood difficult for these people, compounded by the difficult geographic terrain covered by forest. The work here in the hills was initiated by Fr.Angelo Codello an Italian missionary in the 1970’s.
Vision & Mission
Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives
Vision
The Don Bosco Tribal development society aims to empower and uplift the marginalized tribal people of Jawadhi hills through sustainable livelihood , access to education and liberation from substance abuse.
Mission
The Don Bosco Tribal development society will focus mainly on improving livelihood, reducing distress migration and decreasing alcoholism among the marginalized tribal population in Jawadhi hills. Early marriage, initiation to substance use and school drop-outs among the young must be prevented through education of tribal children through boarding and evening study centers. The tribal people must be enabled to evolve development projects without destroying the ecological balance. The Don Bosco tribal development society must empower the tribal communities not to be alienated from their lands, culture and access to natural resources. They must be helped to make optimum use of their land by initiating sustainable agricultural programs and providing training in various skills to increase employment.
