Brief Background
The Lipok Social Foundation (LSF) was born out of experiences gathered by the founders and well-wishers while working with the socially and economically marginalised communities in different parts of the country. The organization was conceptualized in late 2018 and formally registered in March 2019. The founders and the team members fully acknowledge that social and economic injustice is the result of the unsustainability in production, consumption, and livelihoods. Any efforts therefore towards achievement of social and economic justice should have the active participation of all the stakeholders involved in the production and consumption of all that life requires. The organization believes in solidarity economy and in the philosophy of “small is beautiful” as in the elicitation by E. F. Schumacher.
Location of Work
The organization is based in Aurangabad – the administrative capital of Marathwada region in India. The region is infamous as the hotbed of farmer suicides as a result of grave injustice particularly towards the small farmers and peasants. LSF works with the communities to overcome the injustice through participative learning and actions that are led by the affected communities themselves. Currently, the organization works in Aurangabad, Jalna, and Pune districts of Maharashtra.

With the immense economic, environment, and social challenges in the region, there is a lot that each of us can do and be supported. Many of the activities happen with the support of volunteers.
We just don't preach!
We walk the talk or rather cycle the talk!
Pedaling our way through fields and along dusty roads, the LSF team reaches farms and villages, weather and health permitting.
