CREDO Charitable Trust:
Credo has a world-class infrastructure with top-end Japanese machines and has dedicated it to social empowerment and vocational training. We have upskilled resources to be capable individuals to earn their livelihood. From training to production to sales, under one roof has been our vision. The pandemic has taught us the need and urgency to go online and still be viable and at the same time extend our reach to a bigger community.
Empowerment of the Society is the way forward to sustain the economy of India. Empowerment will only happen when the Economic Parity is diminished. There are many projects which are working to skill India but neglect market linkages. This leads to skilling but still no source of Income.
We have created a socio-economic structure where each individual is trained and inducted into the Credo ecosystem by setting up its ancillary which is a part of the bigger machinery with market integration to generate a livelihood by selling goods and services.
