About Us
Founded in 2005 by Dr. Venkatesh Naik and six committed social workers, SCODWES began with just two old chairs, a teapoy, a bag, and a shared vision of a better society. Inspired by an organization called MYRADA, where three of our founding members worked, we started with little support but immense dedication.
Today, through passion and hard work, SCODWES has grown to operate in 26 districts of Karnataka, with a team of 350+ staff serving over 4 million beneficiaries—a number that continues to grow each day.
We are guided by strong ethical values and a commitment to meaningful, impactful work. Our partners trust us, and our efforts have been recognized by beneficiaries, donors, and esteemed visitors, including the World Bank team.
