| Description of initiative in brief |
AIM programmes are currently focussed on the issue of child rights linked with the right of slum dwellers to have the right to food and shelter. The focus is on the unorganised rickshaw pullers. AIM undertakes programmes for community mobilisation on health awareness through Swasthya Samitis. Support was extended to 85 families in their fight for safe drinking water. Awareness building was done for women on their legal and social rights. A forum of Rickshaw pullers is active for demanding basic services from the government. Protests are organised against demolition of slums. Enrolment of children into formal schools remain one of the focus areas of the intervention. AIM is part of networks like VOP and NAFRE with a view to strengthen movement for ensuring free, compulsory and quality education for all children. CRY partners this NGO through direct action which includes financial and non-financial support such as management of funds, project-planning, material requirements, perspective-building programmes on child rights, baseline data establishment, organisational development, advocacy campaigns, linking them to larger alliances and networks, training for skill building, information support, and developing promotional materials among others. |
