Hello.

Ooru means village in Telugu.

OORU Collective Care is using an innovative approach to shift our society's default response to family hardship from punishment to relational, culturally-rooted support.

 

We partner with families impacted by generational inequities to co-create sustainable community care networks that foster healing and respond to the interwoven needs of individual and collective justice. These networks offer tangible, preventative alternatives to CPS involvement and family separation — centering mutual aid, cultural connection, accountability, and the preservation of family bonds.

 

OORU Collective Care is an initiative of The Contingent's Action Lab Social Impact Incubator, with the ultimate vision of evolving into an independent organization driven by liberatory models of care.
