The problem of orphan/ street children is acute due to urbanization and industrialization. Due to the Deaths of AIDS affected persons, Re-marriage of Widowed/ Divorce women, Absence of love and security, Unwanted pregnancy of Sexually exploited girls; these orphan & street children are left without care and support. These Orphan children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing, begging & participating in anti social, criminal activities. Orphans were without care for food, education, shelter. We have identified orphans & street children and providing food, education, shelter for all orphan children in Orphanage. These children are going to School and providing home tuition, health check-up, medicines, cosmetics, one set of books & 4 sets of uniforms every year. This proposal covers 40 orphans & street children. Every child is being provided with nutritional diet, indoor & outdoor recreation and play facilities and training in crafts and hobbies.

One obstacle that many families face is poverty. For several families, even small fees for school supplies and uniforms can be crippling. By providing a new school uniform for a child, we are taking away one expense and helping to relieve the yearly pressure that some families go through in sending their child to school. This will be of tremendous help to the families and allow the child to proudly wear new school uniforms. Each child will receive a set of 2 custom-tailored uniforms and a pair of shoes. This is s a great way to support the education of children as the children will be able to proudly wear their new uniforms to school.

Indian Women and Child Welfare Trust's primary schools provide children in disadvantaged rural and tribal areas with access to quality education in an interactive and joyful environment. Children are enabled to join mainstream schools, having become confident, independent learners. Access to education in these areas is limited: because it is often locally unavailable, because of domestic and economic pressures forcing children to work, and because it has traditionally not been accorded value. Nearly half of rural children in our area are out of school, and literacy levels are around just 33%. Education is the only ladder for these rural children to climb out of poverty. Children passing out of the school would have received a good quality education with English and computer literacy and holistic development, which would enable them to realize their full potential in any field they choose.

Delivering multiple roles effortlessly every single day, women are undoubtedly the backbone of any society. Doting daughters, caring mothers, competent colleagues and a wide range of many other roles are played by women around us flawlessly and with grace. However, they’ve also been an ignored fraction of the society in many parts of the world. This, in turn, has caused women at large to bear the brunt of inequality, oppression, financial dependability and other social evils. For centuries now, women have been living under bondage that restricts them from achieving professional as well as personal heights. To restore their rightful and dignified status, The Indian Women and Child Welfare Trust has initiated women empowerment programs that provide a solid foundation to nurture the inner strength, creativity and self-esteem of women from all walks of life. With this base well established, women are now able to go out into the world, prepared to handle any challenge with skills, confidence and grace. They come to the forefront, where they become agents of peace and positive social change for themselves, their families, other women and their society.

A third of the Indian population lives below the poverty line, many having to make do with less than a dollar a day. About half of the adult population is illiterate. The majority of people living in rural areas does not have access to clean water, proper wastewater management, or electricity – not to mention schools or hospitals. We want to help break this vicious circle of poor education, poverty, and disease! The donations collected will enable the Indian Women And Child Welfare Trust to build an entire two-storey school. The Indian Women And Child Welfare Trust is an Indian NGO with good local contacts and a great deal of experience that has managed to convince us personally of their sustainable commitment to helping the poor people. The construction of an elementary school in one of the poorest regions in the world will help in a variety of ways: Children will learn to read and write, giving them the opportunity to receive professional training or even go to university. Without an education, these children have barely any chance of breaking out of poverty. Children with reading and writing skills can support their families and increase their independence by making important information accessible. Educating children on the fundamentals of health and hygiene benefits the entire family as well as the community, thus helping the people to help themselves.

This project empowers the rural, underprivileged children studying at India Women and Child Welfare Trust, by funding their education, noon meal and transportation. Children benefited by this project can focus on their studies without a worry about their fees, food and safe transportation to the school. There's a notion among the communities that we serve in that girl children are not fit to get educated and pursue their dreams, but should stay home, help the household. Even among the girls who do join school dropout rates on attaining puberty is especially common. Because of this thinking, there's a significant skew in the gender ratio of the children who pass out of school. India Women and Child Welfare Trust empower girl children education by providing education support, noon-meal & transportation subsidies to deserving girl children in the communities we serve in. We try to correct the admission ratio skew by providing more of these benefits to the girl children, thus achieving a 47% of admission as girls overall. We also have no girls dropping out on reaching puberty. Quality education, noon meal and safe transportation motivate parents to admit & continue education of their girls.

Objetivo: US$4,250 Atiende a 25 alumnos de preescolar a tercero y a 17 niños entre 0 y 5 años sin servicios de agua, saneamiento e higiene. ¿Qué queremos hacer? Con el apoyo de Cisco Colombia queremos asegurar que los niños y niñas tengan acceso a los servicios más básicos que les permita tener un espacio donde estudiar y ser cuidados que sea seguro y digno. Para esto nos proponemos:  Conectar la escuela y al jardín infantil comunitario al servicio de agua e instalar filtros para asegurar su calidad  Construir baños adecuados al contexto  Rehabilitar la cocina y comedor para que los niños y niñas consuman alimentos preparados con mejor higiene  Implementamos una campaña de higiene basada en juegos y diversión para adoptar buenos hábitos como el lavado de manos, la higiene personal, el uso del baño y el cuidado del agua. ¿Cuál es la meta? Recaudar en total $30.000.000 COP para el mejoramiento de los servicios e implementación de la campaña en Santa Cruz. Para cumplir este objetivo solicitamos la donación de US$4,250 entre Diciembre de 2019 y Febrero 2020 por parte de los empleados de Cisco que a través del Programa matching Gifts nos permitirá alcanzar la meta propuesta. Al finalizar el proceso (segundo trimestre de 2020) invitamos al equipo de Cisco Colombia a una visita a la Escuela de Santa Cruz para apoyar a WaterAid a dar los toques finales para finalizar la intervención en la escuela! PROYECTO GUAJIRA 2020 School and Nursery Santa Cruz, La Guajira. Colombia. Goal: $4,250 WaterAid is determined to make clean water, reliable toilets and good hygiene available for boys and girls. Our Healthy Beginnings Campaign seeks to improve health and nutrition for over 750 boys and girls with the availability of clean safe water and proper hygiene. We need all the support from the Cisco team to help us reach our goal! With your help we will be supporting the school Santa Cruz, which serves over 42 Children, located in the La Guajira (Colombia’s most northerly region: a vast and wild desert on the Caribbean coast bordering Venezuela). Today there is no water directly being supplied to the school. The students and teachers have to carry water in buckets from a central location and they relieve themselves in the areas surrounding the community. This tough situation creates a health hazard while being a huge burden as well. The total cost of this project is $8,500 USD. The challenge for this campaign is to raise $4,250 USD between December 2019 and February 2020, while taking advantage of the Cisco match to achieve the ultimate goal of $8,500 USD. WaterAid will be supporting this project all along and this venture will conclude with an actual visit to the project in La Guajira, where we will engage with the community who is benefiting from this campaign. The kids in Santa Cruz and WaterAid thank you in advanced for your support!
