About Trickle Up India Foundation (TUIF)





Trickle Up India Foundation (TUIF) is a nationally registered non-profit organization that partners with women in ultra-poverty in India to build economic opportunity and drive inclusion. Together with governments and local non-governmental organizations, we reach underserved women in remote, rural areas with programming that enables them to forge their own resilient pathways out of poverty for themselves, their families, and their communities.



Since 2013, TUIF has been empowering women in ultra-poverty who have faced discrimination, and social and economic isolation all their lives. Through our programs, they develop sustainable livelihoods and strong savings habits, strengthening their capacity, self-reliance, and stability. They begin building their self-esteem and resilience. This profound individual transformation has positive ripple effects for their families, throughout their communities, and over generations.


Project Background



BRAC's Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI), aims to support governments to scale the Graduation approach to reduce extreme poverty. The Graduation approach is a multifaceted set of interventions designed to enable the people living in extreme poverty to "Graduate" out of poverty. The interventions include meeting their basic needs, a significant productive asset and training to use it for income generation, financial literacy and savings support, and regular household coaching to support aspirations and productivity. BRAC has signed an MoU with DAY-NRLM under the Ministry of Rural Development, GoI, to support the implementation of an inclusive livelihoods program for households living in extreme poverty.



The proposed program will introduce holistic productive inclusion strategies to improve the lives of excluded populations, targeting women living in extreme poverty and exclusion. It will adapt a globally tested and proven "Graduation Approach" to the DAY-NRLM program to reach those households that are presently having difficulty benefiting from the Self-Help Group net.
