Education
Education allows people to
develop the technical and leadership skills they
need to empower their communities and break the
cycle of poverty. We do not accept that people
should be excluded from education due to
poverty, gender or ethnic background.
We deliver education
through building schools, providing educational
materials and developing programmes of study.
Our programmes range from pre-school initiatives
to scholarship opportunities and adult education
programmes. Through education we aim to give
people the skills they need to create a
sustainable, brighter future for themselves and
their communities.Besides these MAWA emphasises
moral education to build the character of the
children on honesty,
transparency,patriotism,brother hoodness etc. to
lead a pious society. We emphasise girls
education to develop sense of belongings and to
make tarbiyat of their children for better
future.
Healthcare
Access to high quality free
healthcare should not be viewed as a luxury. In
many parts of the world easily preventable and
treatable diseases are causing death and long
term suffering to millions. We believe that good
health is essential for the survival and
economic self sufficiency of individuals and
their communities.
We provide emergency relief
in conflict situations as well as developing
longer-term wellbeing initiatives. We develop
health awareness programmes on AIDs ,Malaria
safe daughter etc.. Our long term approach to
health care provision aims to give communities a
real chance of future success.
Emergency relief
Conflict, civil breakdown
and natural disaster can quickly change a
person’s ability to survive. We believe that
intervention in emergency situations must be
rapid and well structured in order to be
successful. Moreover, we recognise that once the
immediate danger is over people need the
opportunity to rebuild their lives and to
support themselves.
Our dedicated teams provide
emergency relief in crisis situations across
Orissa and sometimes in neighbouring states..
They talk to people to give reassurance, hand
out blankets and food and provide healthcare.
Through our rehabilitation programmes we aim to
empower people in the longer-term to rebuild
their lives and gradually move away from
emergency care.
A number of
Disaster Readiness Programmes have also been
carried out in a number of our field offices
through UNDP at the district level.
Empowerment
Creating successful
communities is at the core of all of our work.
When responding to an immediate need we are
already formulating a longer-term strategy that
will enable people to look towards the future.
We believe that economic empowerment is at the
root of this.
We seek to achieve
empowerment by improving people’s skills and
creating opportunities for income generation.
Our well established scheme of interest-free
microfinance plays an important part in income
generation. We see microfinance as a significant
innovation in sustainable development and
continue to refine our model to achieve the best
possible outcome for communities.We formed SHG s
for
micro finance and their
self sustainability.We organize training
programmes for different handicraft items to
enable the womwn to sustain themselves by
selling the finished goods.
Housing & Shelter
People who are displaced by
conflict or disaster need shelter to survive and
a home to rebuild their lives. We believe that a
home is the key to a person’s sense of security,
dignity and their ability to aspire to a better
future.
Our field teams provide
temporary shelters to hundreds of desperate
people in crisis situations. In the longer-term
we work together with our partners to build
permanent housing in accordance with the
individual needs and preferences of the people
we are helping.
Water & Sanitation
Access to clean water is a
right that is denied to many of the poorest
people in the world. We believe that everyone
should be able to access clean water and that
this access underpins all other aspects of
development. Without clean water the chances of
building a sustainable future for any community
are limited.
Our work incorporates
building infrastructure, improving sanitation
and developing hygiene awareness programmes. We
put clean water at the heart of every community
we work with. We seek to minimise environmental
impact through new innovations.we construct
individual House Latrines and Institutional
latrines in the state of orissa
Child support
Half of the world’s
children live in poverty and many live without
adequate shelter, access to clean water or
healthcare. Many of these children will die
before the age of five simply because they have
been born into poverty. We see children as a
society’s greatest asset and believe that they
should be supported to reach their full
potential whatever their background, ethnicity
or religion.
Through the generous
contributions of our individual donors we are
able to support children in their own families
to access education, healthcare, adequate food
and clothing, mentoring services, social
development and careers advice. We are also able
to offer education sponsorship and scholarships.
Our newly launched orphan care scheme offers
children who can not be brought up with their
parents the opportunity of a safe and supported
upbringing within a suitable host family. We are
also working to eradicate child blindness
through our sight restoration programmes for
children with cataracts.
