As promised, details of the NGO that I am trying to raise funds for...
For the past 40 years Apnalaya has been helping children living in slums towards a better life. The main area of work is Shivaji Nagar, Govandi, with communities around the dumping ground. It strives to achieve this through urban community developments projects in Mumbai. Its role is one of empowerment: of encouraging ordinary men and women to believe in themselves and in their abilities to change their lives for the better.
The main activities undertaken by Apnalaya are in the following areas:
1)Health : They provide basic medical facilities in the form of weekly general and ANC Clinics, immunization and growth monitoring programs for children, supplementary nutrition programmes, TB Awareness, General Health awareness programmes, Counselling to HIV/AIDS patients and support to the affected families.
2) Education: One of Apnalaya's prime objectives is to work for children, to help then grow up to a better life; and they believe that the key to achieving this is education. They reach out to children through programmes such as balwadis and study classes, sponsorships and recreation, and to larger numbers through community programmes, offering training and support for community groups to run similar programmes.
3) Empowerment: Apnalaya works towards the empowerment of women by providing vocational training and helps them form support groups.
