Our Impact
Brochure
We designed an easy-to-visualize brochure to help saathis start conversations and set context for economic resilience with households. It helped introduce concepts of a secure home, what it could mean for them, and the various components involved in creating it.
Journal
We created an interactive household journal that simplifies economic resilience into key areas like money, aspirations, food, health and other areas relevant to each household’s reality. With prompts to spark conversations and trackers to document growth, it’s a visual, hands-on tool for every household.
The Saathi Guide
We created a user-friendly guide to help saathis use the journal effectively. Packed with prompts and clear instructions, it ensures meaningful conversations and supports households on their journey to economic resilience.

Our Process
Immersion
We visited field sites in Odisha to observe how Saathis interacted with households and to understand where gaps emerged in explaining and mapping household resilience.
Explore and Identify
Through conversations with households and Saathis, we inferred what “resilience” meant to them and identified the enablers and barriers affecting how resilience was understood
Ideate and Co-create
We worked closely with the program team, Saathis, and households to co-design simple, relatable tools that broke down resilience, and used formats that were easy to engage with.
Pilot and Testing
We tested the tools with over 100 households across Puri, Gulbarga, and Bharwani, using customised protocols for both Saathis and households to assess usability and efficacy.
