Timeline: 4 months
In partnership with Vrutti, we developed the Economic Resilience Toolkit — an interactive resource designed to help marginalized households strengthen their livelihoods and face challenges with confidence. At the heart of this effort are Resilience Saathis — trusted community guides equipped with the toolkit to walk alongside families, offering support, guidance, and practical tools on their journey toward economic security.

Resilience Saathis, being part of the same community, led the process by visiting households, mapping their resilience journey, and offering support. Understanding their ecosystem and challenges helped us design tools to assist them in this role.

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.

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.
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.
