Satya-Jyoti Trust
Satya-Jyoti Trust is a non-profit organization situated on a small organic farm in the village of Ladpuri in Rajasthan, India. The Trust is home to a small group of women from remote villages in Rajasthan who are victims of rape, physical and sexual abuse at home. These women were assisted in seeking legal aid and then they spent a few years with another NGO under their legal guardianship. On turning 18 they were assisted in finding jobs in city workshops, which was unsuccessful as they had lived thus far in an institution and had not developed social skills or decision making ability to manage matters related to everyday civic issues.
At Satya-Jyoti the women have been assisted in developing their traditional sewing and embroidery skills, a
small beginning has been made by selling these products in local markets to help them become self sustaining. They have set up an aid center for the surrounding villages and are now becoming trainers for the village girls. These village girls are part of an informal education programme on literacy that was initiated with the help of another NGO “Pratham” who assisted Satya-Jyoti with their first literacy programme.
Satya-Jyoti is providing an example of sustainable small scale farming, improving bio-diversity, economic freedom through 
income generation projects and empowerment through education. In order to reach out to a larger number of women in the three villages Satya-Jyoti is now attempting to bring together volunteers and funding to broaden the scale.
