Our Vision
• To prepare and initiate youth in their career path through skill development.
• To eradicate gender discrimination through education and awareness.
• To address the basic needs of the people including health, education, access to clean water, and sanitation.
• To make advocacy accessible to all through awareness programs.

Activities:
• Women empowerment: The Gender Resource Centre (GRC) is envisaged as an instrument to bring Social, Economic and Legal Empowerment to women, particularly those belonging to the under- privileged and marginalized sections of the society. SPID works as a catalyst to make Delhi safe for women through social, legal and economic empowerment.

• Health: SPID organizes health examinations twice a month. During this examination, anyone from the community can have access to check-ups covering various health issues. If there´s a need, prescriptions are also handed out. SPID organizes a Health Camp once every two months where specialized doctors volunteer their time to the center. Each Health Camp is given a theme, for example: diabetes, eye complications, cancer, HIV, etc.
• Skills Development Program: Our livelihood promotion and skills development programs target women and youth from disadvantaged communities, in order to build confidence and teach useful skills. Vocational training programs for women include Dari making and Zari work, tailoring and cutting, and beautician courses.
