IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Information Center was created for the people in the slum community to provide them with general information and legal aid. This resource is full of information for everyone in the family or in the community. Most of the people who live here have no idea how to go about getting important legal documents, enrolling their children in school, and following other bureaucratic procedures.

As an offshoot of the Information Center, our Resource Mobilizer recently formed a group of women who are eligible for Widows’ Pension. The Mobilizer instructs the widows in the community regarding the procedures, forms, documents and office addresses so that the group members can avail of this government assistance.

LET'S INFORM THEM 

LINKING PROJECTS: COMMUNITY KITCHEN AND DAY CARE CENTERS

The Community Kitchen is an ongoing activity that aims to empower the women from the slum areas we work with. At the same time we create employment, we also promote synergy between the Community Development and the Migrant Children projects, since the food that is given to the children at most of our Day Care Centers is prepared in our kitchen.

Asha-Kiran’s Social Mobilizer is responsible for monitoring the kitchen, while the cooks support each other in their work. Thus, in addition to linking both projects, the kitchen promotes self-sufficiency among community women

LET'S CONTINUE TO LINK DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TOGETHER

SUPPORT CLASSES in the COMMUNITY

The main purpose of support classes in the Community Project is to address the needs of children who are lagging behind their peers in skills such as reading, writing and math. Support is given to schoolchildren up to 8th grade.

The teacher and her helper teach two groups, one that comes in two hours in the morning and another one two hours in the afternoon, depending on the children's school schedule. Together with the teacher, the resource mobilizer assesses the children monthly so that the specific needs of each child can be taken into account when designing their support plan.

LET'S CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR LEARNING
