Onze missie

De levensvoorwaarden en ontwikkelingskansen in onze Nederlandse cultuur zijn veel groter dan die in het binnenland van India. Wij willen met onze stichting een bijdrage leveren aan verbetering van de levensomstandigheden door concrete, kleinschalige, toetsbare projecten te ondersteunen in een afgebakend gebied in Centraal India. Ook uw hulp is daar hard nodig!

Nodig ons uit

Wij hebben de afgelopen jaren veel kennis en ervaring opgedaan over India; het leven op het platteland, de problemen en mogelijke oplossingen in de vorm van projecten. Wij zijn graag bereid voor groepen van scholen of verenigingen – geheel vrijblijvend – een presentatie te verzorgen.

Project: Health Care for Young Mothers and Children: Child Focussed Community Development and Women Empowerment in 4 villages of Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, India

Start date: August 2013, End date: July 2015

Sickness like Malaria, jaundice, typhoid etc. is common in this area. Madhya Pradesh stands in the first line for Malnutrition. Due to poor agricultural practices food security is only for 5-6 months in a year, in this area. Young mothers and children are the victims of this situation and when they become sick a proper medical care is beyond their reach. This project envisages to organise women and give them health care classes and help them with medical care and create a health consciousness among these people. The project also envisages to help the children of 0-14 years of age to have a better involvement in their studies and so to create a taste for study in them. SHG formation will be another target which will help the women to get organized, which will give them better bargaining power in the society.

The intended results of the project are:

1. Improved Education of Children.

2. Improved Health status of women

3. Enhance social, economic and political strength of the most vulnerable communities of the targetarea and targetgroup: 276 Families of 4 villages. 1239 people- 425 men, 436 women and 376 children.
