SHIKSHAN (Non-formal Educational Centre) PROJECT:
This is designed for the special benefits of the kids of slum areas of Kolkata (Calcutta). In this center, we give them educational training along with necessary educational materials, entertainment programs, clothes, medical support and other kind of help if any. We establish SHISKHAN where the kids get the all facilities of education. Here they get the proper environment for education. We teach Basic Mathematics, Languages (English, Bengali and Basic Hindi), Social Science, General Knowledge and beside these crafts training are also provided for them. We also teach some kind of Physical Exercises for their body fitness. We also provide free medical support to the kids as per their need. Now we have already started one non-formal educational center under SIKSHAN project at Khardah slum area. We have a plan to establish similar centers at the different slum areas in and around Kolkata for the betterment of the needy slum kids. For this program we need help from the Volunteers, who will help the organisation to serve for these needy and poor kids. We invite Volunteers from all over the World to join with us, to teach the kids and to make a better future for them.
PATHASISU UNNAYAN (Street Kids Beneficial) PROJECT:
This is designed to help the street kids where we provide educational support, food, cloths, and medical treatment for the poor kids and lactating mothers. This Project is running at Sealdah Railway Station. It is one of the main stations of Kolkata and many needy, homeless children live here with their families and some of them live there alone without any parental care. These needy children don't get proper medical support because local Hospitals and Health Centers do not take care of the street dwellers. We start the work normally at the early morning from 5.30a.m. to give service for these needy kids. The program is continued for two and half hours. During this time, we clean these children and supply a breakfast, give a basic education to each of them. Beside education we also try to give some enjoyment through drawing, different games, exercise etc. We also provide cloths to these needy kids on a certain interval. At present, we run this program thrice in a week and we will run this program regularly near future. We have a mind to start similar nature of program at the other stations of Kolkata to give support many street kids as much as possible. For this Project we need huge volunteers who have soft mind to serve for these street kids.
MAHILA SHACHETANATA (Women Awareness) PROJECT:
This project is specially designed to help the poor women of slum areas. We already give these women about the health and hygiene concept, concepts of different parts / organs of body, birth control process in our three weeks training programme with help of Foreign as well as Indian experts. We have a plan in future to arrange different training programme through out the year -
*To take prenatal care, we will arrange awareness program. We will also arrange vaccination to the pregnant through nearest Govt. Hospitals or Health Centers to protect the mother and the child.
*Influx of population is one of the major problems in India. The people live in slum and street areas are maintaining their life below poverty and have number of children. It is happened just due to lack of awareness. They have no idea about family planning and different measures of contraceptives. We are in a mind to start family planning awareness program for these needy people to control over this situation.
*Today our world is suffering from the problem of HIV AIDS. India is also in alarming condition. So we will arrange HIV AIDS awareness program among the slum dwellers about the virus and its transmission. We eagerly invite volunteers all over the world to join with us and help us to combat these problems.
SASTHYA PARISEVA (Free Medical check-up) PROJECT:
This is one of our proposed projects in which we will arrange free medical check-up for the needy kids. In most of the slum areas, people are not aware about different infectious as well as contagious diseases. It needs to aware them about such diseases and how to take prevention from these diseases. Medical check-up will be arranged by the organisation at regular intervals. We will also arrange vaccination to these kids to prevent different transmissible diseases.
For this Project, we need volunteers especially from the medical background. Other volunteers who have the basic first aid knowledge can also join.
SWANIRVAR (Self Help Group) PROJECT:
To make a Self-Help Group of children between the age of 12 to 15 years, we will arrange crafts training program for them.
Actually the slum people are very poor and they are suffering from stringent monetary condition. The main object of this Project is to make the slum children self-sufficient through special crafts training and to earn money to support their families in time of need.
We also have a mind to start similar type of project among the women folk of the slum area to reduce the economical need.
