Who Are We

Concern for Community is a social organization registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860, working in sectors such as social empowerment, education, and environmental protection, with special attention to the education of girls. Moved by the plights of migrant workers in different parts of India in the post-Covid period, the organization had also started working for the welfare of workers who left their states for want of employment opportunities. To begin with, we started working in Goa, a state where 80% of manual labourers are from other states, taking up different unskilled jobs. Many women from other states, including neighboring Karnataka, work as domestic help; however, except for a small percentage of them, most experience job insecurity and irregular payment of wages. Likewise, a large number of young people from the northeastern states of India are employed in hotels, casino houses, SPAs, and beauty parlours, with no proper legal documents about their engagement. Concern for Community thus helps these migrant workers with their children's education and awareness of their rights. Concern for Community also offers assistance to individuals who must return to their hometown due to job loss or illness or intervening instances of neglect in liaison with the administration.
