SHIS helps local NGOs, CBOs and others to build their capacities by giving them technical guidance and financial assistance. The innovativeness of this programme is in building networks of their organization to address crucial issues affecting the development of concerned areas.

Issues of basic health, oppression of women, starvation, malnutrition, trafficking of women, deforestation, environmental pollution, feature prominently to achieve the greater goal of establishment of a poverty free, environmentally sound, healthy, and gender just society.
