                          “Profiling Urban Poverty in Guwahati City” 

sSTEP conducted its first activity as a study entitled “Profiling Urban Poverty in Guwahati City” in 2003. The profiling exercise, sought to map out the poverty pockets in the city and identify and understand the core issues that beset us. Even as the study was being conducted, it was realized that the problems were immense and are much beyond what was initially anticipated.

 sSTEP encountered the miseries of the poorest of the city, who were deprived of basic minimum needs- shelter, health, livelihood, etc.

 

It was realized that these may be the outcomes of structural failures or peoples’ lack of awareness.The findings of this study stimulated sSTEP to start work with an objective to organizing the urban poor people. For our own understanding we categorized the urban poor different sector and started work with informal sector workers {unorganized Labourer, Street vegetable vendor, Transporter (Rickshaw puller, cart puller)} Slum dwellers, Homeless people, Street Children and Destitute people in the Guwahati city to organized.

Then the next step was to build alliances,  empowerment of the urban poor communities. Capacity building of the community members was one of the main objectives.
