Relief India Trust’s Place in the Society as a Community Based Organization

There are quite many community based organizations within India and the world at large, mainly non-profit operating within the grass root level in the society.  Most of such organizations are subsets of larger and international organizations such as Relief India Trust. The organizations are community based to ensure the effective address of the needs of the poor and less privileged in the society. This is essentially what Relief India Trust has done as a charitable organization to set up grass root branches that help effectively reach the members of the society in need of help.

Relief India Trust on its part, takes part in playing a very crucial role in the society by delivering quality services to the needy, including but not limited to; social welfare; educational improvement; health; community service and personal health improvement. The organization understands the need to improve the quality of life for all and for that reason is ready to partner with like-minded organizations to bring about the necessary change needed in life. So far, this trust is among the top most trusted and respected organizations that help air the grievances of the community to the government and above all, directly help the affected and needy members of the society in different ways.

It is actually through Relief India Trust’s community based organizations that the truth is informed on what the real situation is on the ground. The trust then uses this information to initiate the best strategy to carry out its operations in the best way possible so as to achieve the main objective of improving the quality of life.

Relief India Trust plays a greater role in ensuring effectiveness in the operations of the community based organizations arranged by them. They help do this in two ways;

Providing monetary support       

In order for the community based organizations to remain relevant in their operations, funding is actually needed. Relief India Trust has been organizing awareness campaigns where willing volunteers come forward to donate the much needed funds in the running of various operations at the grass roots. A people-focused approach is used in organizing the fundraising and building good relationships with the volunteers even after the exercise. By enlightening community members on the role played by the organization, many people are willing to become volunteers and donors.

Non monetary support

Running of various community based organizations demand more than just monetary support. Relief India Trust on its part takes into consideration various ways to enable the organizations carry out their operations. The trust helps the other organizations by ensuring proper and effective management. This involves formation of the board of directors and committees that will help in running the organizations. The committees and board of directors are monitored closely to ensure they are doing the right job tailored towards attaining the set objective.

In order for more people to be reached by the community based organizations, more of such organizations are created by Relief India Trust in line with the special needs of people in particular communities. The unique challenges faced by the people are then dealt with in a professional way thus promoting better quality life for all.

Relief India Trust for disabled children

Here we are talking about abuse or neglecting disabled children.

 

Disability does not mean weak. There are a lot of examples who proves that a disabled person can do many thing that a normal one can't. And most importantly they have proved their ability to survive in their life. Though we thinks that they can't do anything and watch them like useless things on earth. Parents keep them under the walls of home and restricts to literate.

 

Relief India Trust works for these disabled children. The NGO works for betterment of their future through rehabilitation centers for disabled children, providing them special education etc.

Supporting Lives with Relief India Trust

The Relief India Trust is formed by a group of people who provide counseling and guidance to those who are in need most especially to the children who are suffering from health conditions both physically and mentally. They formed a group or an organization with the thought that they want to make sure that there is a better tomorrow even for those kids. They are around to help the kids fulfill their emotional needs. They understand that each of us needs another person to talk to, and so they are there to offer their presence and understanding. Not everyone can do this, and they know that. Being a friend to these people can be of great help already.

With all these things that are needed to do for the unfortunate people, financial assistance from other people is also needed. Just imagine yourself buying a small cup of coffee for your morning break. The amount of money that you will spend for the coffee will be so enough to give a single meal to one less fortunate person. Always remember that there are many people who can barely complete a meal in one day, so you have to be mindful of that. These poor little souls can use some of your help.

The Relief India Trust ensures that donations given by people are given to the less fortunate children. It does not mean that you have to sell things in order to donate. By just giving a small amount of financial help, you can help and make a difference.  Just a little sacrifice for these people could mean a lot to the little children who are so frustrated with life already. Let us make sure that we give them hope by giving them support. Let them know that there is still a good life ahead, and that they just have to be patient with what life is bringing them. That is the objective of the Relief India Trust. And we should be there for them to assist them and to support them with whatever they are doing now. One may check their site for up-to-date information about their campaigns.

Relief India Trust on Child Labour in India

Relief India Trust

Child Labour is an menace that continues in India even when many people raised their voices against this. Politicians makes a lot of promises before elections but no one follows them after getting seats in government. Even other officers in public system uses them rather than effort to stop this non-sense. 

Actually not only system, even public who makes crowd for few days against these menaces, uses them also. When we go any kind of shop, "thela" or other, sees children are working there. But no-one raise their voice against them on the spot. Everyone discusses and sympathy for them in their home.

Come on India. If you really want to see all Indians are living happily, then we should do some effort to make them literate. Because study is the only thing to make any child's future.

At the age when kids go to school and play with friends, Munna, hailing from neighbouring Chhattisgarh, works at a roadside tea stall at Ramdaspeth throughout the day for just Rs 50. Recently, two children from Bihar - Nadim Salem and Mohammed Ikhtiyar - who were employed at a workshop for adding silk borders to saris were rescued by GRP police. Many girls hailing from poor financial background were also pushed into sex trade at a tender age or forced to marry men double or triple their age.

Children’s literature market busts many myths

Relief India Trust

Five-year-old Ayush boasts of a library of his own. It is peopled by authors, largely foreign, and characters, equally foreign. But, what's important is that he not only takes pride in his own personal library - as opposed to his parents' - but also loves to open a book on his lap on a quiet afternoon when he sees his mother do the same.
But is Ayush a rare Indian child who does not sprawl himself in front of the television and picks up a book to read instead? Popular opinion would say, 'yes', because it is generally believed that children are no longer reading as they used to a few generations ago. But if one were to ask the book world insiders, and go by sketchy industry figures, children's publishing is exploding with possibilities, just as is the case with publishing in general in the country. As far as children's literature is concerned, "the field is growing at a nervous speed each day," says Tultul Biswas of Eklavya, the well-known Bhopal-based NGO working for social change through meaningful education with a robust publication arm.

No wonder, the upcoming New Delhi World Book Fair - scheduled to be held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from February 15 to 23 - has children's literature as its theme. The fair director, M A Sikander, who is also the director of the organising body, the National Book Trust ( NBT) is hoping children will come in large numbers to soak up the edition of the fair dedicated to them. "Children's books have always been a huge attraction in other editions of the fair too but since this one has children's literature as its theme, we will be organising some fascinating activities for children and our young readers. For instance, the Illustrator's Corner will shed light on the very important aspect of a children's book, the illustration. Besides, we will have Ruskin Bond, the most popular Indian author who has written extensively for children, inaugurating the fair."
A big chunk of the total of 1,070 exhibitors at the fair will comprise children's book publishers, reflecting the energy being experienced by the segment in general. The scenario busts the myth that children are not reading anymore, or that children are not reading much due to easy access to alternative - and more dramatic - means of entertainment.

This applies to companies with an average net profit of at least Rs 50 million over a period of three years. The bill is effective from 2014.

As more and more Indian corporate started implementing CSR initiatives in recent years, there was a need for a platform that brought NGOs, corporate, foundations, government and the general public together.

More than 200 NGOs will exhibit their cause at this event, and more than 3,000 visitors from the corporate, social and government sector are expected to attend it. This event brings together the voluntary sector, Indian corporate and the government, on a common platform, enabling them to network and interact. 

2014 Theme: 

With Sustainability as its theme, Giving Back aims to make the voluntary sector self-sustainable, and will also enable the corporate sector to work towards brand sustainability, thus contributing to the overall growth and well-being of society.

The 2014 edition of Giving Back – NGO India will see speakers who are CSR or Sustainability Heads from organizations such as P&G, Tupperware, Cipla, Unilever, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Luxor, TCS, Reliance, ICICI Securities, Kalpataru, Avantha Group, Swades Foundation, National Human Rights Commission, and many others.

In 2013, Giving Back – NGO India showcased 170 exhibition stalls represented by NGOs. Some of the NGOs that participated were: Aaina, Blind Welfare Council, Cancer Aid Society, CRY, Child Help Foundation, Family Planning Association of India, Helpage, Goonj, Rural Development Trust, and Wockhardt Foundation, among many others.

The event saw 2,000 visitors and delegates and was well received by the NGOs, corporates, and various foundations involved in facilitating interactions between NGOs and the society.

Dr. Kiran Bedi, Chairperson, India Vision Foundation said, “We need to create exclusive hubs to connect capable, creditable and transparent NGOs with corporates, UBM being one of them. This will facilitate better disbursal of resources and help overcome shortages.”

Giving Back – NGO India is a CSR Initiative from UBM India, a leading service provider for all global events-led marketing and communications business.

Muzaffarnagar: NGOs come out for help as administration fails

Relief India Trust

After the administration failed miserably to provide any relief to the people displaced following the Muzaffarnagar riots, some NGOs have come forward to support them. A relief India camp in Shamli has seen 30 deaths in the last two months and over 960 children are still battling the cold. Though the administration made some move after the Supreme Court took cognizance but now they have stopped providing milk and remain in denial.
“We have been giving them a lot of things including food serials and milk,” said Shamli’s District Magistrate PK Singh.
But amidst the squalor of this camp there is some hope. NGO named Zakat foundation has provided the victims with food, clothes, tents and are now contemplating building housing units. Imtiaz Siddiqui, a retired professor from Delhi University has been coordinating the relief work in this camp.
“We provided them food, shelter and then plastic tents. They needed water we also installed many hand pumps here,” said Siddiqui.
For the residents of Malakpura camp, this team is god sent. People like Imtiaz is not only providing victims with blankets, tents and essential commodities. They are also planning to build housing units. Despite grand plans, they have funds for only 100 units now.
“We intend to make 1000 units so that they don’t have to stay in the open,” Imtiaz said.

They are thereby able to use the parts of the bodies they previously weren't able to use. Pain alleviation is also an important part in physiotherapy.The pain caused by the disorientation of the nervous system is effectively done through physiotherapy. Tolerance to activity is also achieved by the patients through this therapy.

The Relief India Trust Gives a Heartbeat to Children

Relief India Trust WIKI

Many children are born with heart problems and others may develop these complications as they grow, this is not limited to children alone. This calls for medical intervention in the form of heart transplants. A heart transplant is the removal of a damaged and diseased heart to replace it with a healthy donor heart. This is a demanding procedure that calls for a number of procedures for the exercise to be successfully conducted. Relief India Trust NGO has rolled out programs that ensure the relevant institutions have an easier time in carrying out this exercise.

Funding.

A heart transplant is an expensive exercise that is elusive for the needy in society. It is also a sad reality that it is the needy that are affected by this condition of heart disease or heart failure.

Relief India Trust works to ensure that children who need this surgery and are not able to afford it are attended to by availing funds for them. The organization also makes it possible for patients to meet citizens with a big heart willing to pay for the surgeries.

Awareness campaigns.

The organization organizes organ donation campaigns in the community for people to go for checkups and for donors to help their loved ones. For heart transplants this means that those who have heart problems can be identified and shortlisted as potential candidates for transplants. The identified candidates are then taken to health care centers for further attention.

Pre surgical preparation.

Once the patient has been brought to the hospital, there are a number of things to be done before surgery. The donor has to be identified in this case, brain dead people or those who have died but the heart is still beating. The patients have to be taken through psychological and physical tests to check their mental health and the ability to use a new heart. The evaluation and psychological preparation also includes pre surgical medication. Immuno- suppressants are administered to the patient to ensure that their immune systems do not reject the new organs. All this is done while the surgical teams remove the donor heart and conduct thorough examination. The Relief India Trust supports all this by availing nurses and medical teams to these hospitals.

During the surgery there are nurses that help the surgeons with the equipment, blood, and the general smooth running of the theatre and the operation procedure. These may also be sourced from the organization's personnel.

After the surgery.

Patients after being successfully operated, need critical attention for them to recover fully and continue with normal life. Medication has to be administered and proper nutrition is important. All this needs committed individuals to monitor the patient and help them where necessary. Workers at Relief India Trust are available in various hospitals to do this. This care extends to homes when the patients are discharged to recover at home.

Therapy may be required by some patients in order for them to respond and adjust to the new hearts. Physiotherapists are engaged in this exercise to avoid any complications on the final stages of the healing process.

Relief India Trust: Unforgettable Financial Assistance

Sunidhi a one year old baby had a hole in the heart which was identified immediately after she was born. Doctors at the AIIMS hospital quoted a huge bill which her parents knew they would never be able to pay. When then approached Relief India Trust, the surgery took place in due time and all her hospital expenses were covered through Relief India Trust PAN. Happiness now prevails in Sunidhi’s family as she has been given a new lease of life by Relief India Trust NGO which they can never forget all their lives.

Community Based Organizations ' Place in Relief India Trust

Community based organizations are essentially nonprofit making organizations that operate within the grass root level in the local community. They are also subsets of larger nonprofit making organizations like Relief India Trust NGO.

These are bottom up organizations and are more effective in addressing the needs of the community than the larger charitable organizations. They fall into different categories, including but not limited to; educational; personal help and improvement; social welfare; health; community service and action.

Relief India Trust in its awareness of the important roles played by these organizations, has come all out to partner and work with them to bring about the much needed change in the community. The trust has over the time used these communities based organization as its point of contact and mouthpiece in the community thus ensuring contact with the most remote localities to which these organizations are able to reach. It is also through these organizations that the trust is informed of the real challenges on the ground. With this knowledge Relief India Trust is able to adopt the best strategy for carrying out its operations.

There are a number of ways that Relief India trust has helped these organizations become stable and effective in their diverse causes.

The monetary issue.

It is important to acknowledge the fact that funding is what keeps these organizations up and running. These organizations rely on individual fund raising to get money. Community fundraisers therefore take a people-focused approach to fundraising. Relationship building is a key part of the people-focused approach to make sure people identify with what they are being called upon to do. Relief India trust helps to communicate the important roles played by the organization in the community. This is done through open days, street processions and other such forums.

Non monetary support.

Relief India Trust is also keen to help these organizations carry out effective operations and therefore has to engage in its running. Though the structures may be somehow different, the trust helps to ensure effective and proper management. Some of these community based organizations have formally incorporated constitutions and boards of director called committees while others are much smaller and more informal. Whichever the case, these are closely monitored, the personal is given training and supplied with necessities that will see smoother running of their operations. Relief India Trust has over the time organized seminars for stakeholders to learn more about how best to approach the issues they are addressing.

To be able to ensure more people are reached by the community based organizations, there is a need to form more of them in line with the special needs of particular societies and the unique challenges they face. People are called to forums and informed of how they can come together to address the issues that affect them and this sees the birth of more organizations. The organizations are a sure and sustainable way in this cause as the community is directly involved in the action or operation and whenever monetary and non monetary help is needed. The community is also aware of what affects them and thereby are the best to help alienate the ills that they face.

Relief India Trust Disaster Response Efforts

Accidents and tragedies are inevitable in the course of life; they are beyond human control and intervention. Humans can only do as much as respond to them in a bid to end the suffering caused by these occurrences and to save lives that have been put at risk. These occurrences happen due to natural causes or human causes but once they happen they leave behind destruction, injuries, and loss of lives, and vulnerability to disease and loss of more lives especially among children. In an effort to safeguard the children, Relief India trust has been actively involved in disaster management and response programs all over the country.This is especially where calamities occur with a higher degree of frequency.

Firefighting equipment procured by the government and other nonprofit making organization have also been distributed to strategic areas in the community to make sure that they are well equipped in the case of such emergencies.

Training.

Relief India Trust Noida is actively involved in the training of disaster response teams. Volunteers come to this organization and are taught how best to respond to different kind of emergencies. They are taken through first aid drills, fire fighting skills, rescue and evacuation of victims. Having this skill is important as more lives can then be saved if the rescuers are well aware of what to do and when to do it. Many lives have been lost by poor handling of victims and this is reduced through disaster response training.

Hands on involvement.

During rescue operations it is important to have large numbers of people to help in the evacuation and the hustle that comes with these missions. Relief India Trust has been there to provide the much needed manpower through its volunteer and medical teams. These help to move the victims to safer locations and give them the necessary attention. The medics handle injuries while first aid is administered to prevent blood loss, asphyxiation and freezing. Volunteers also help carry equipment to those areas that are inaccessible by vehicular transport.

After the disaster has been managed the attention shifts to the victims. Most victims are left homeless, orphaned or physically disadvantaged and they need care and attention.

Relief India Trust a Campaign for Women's Rights

Relief India Trust NGO

Women's rights are the entitlements claimed for women and girls of many societies worldwide. These rights may be institutionalized or supported by law and local customs or may all together be ignored and suppressed. They differ from the broader perspective of human rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias of rights by women and girls in favor of men and boys.

Relief India Trust is committed to addressing the issues associated with women's rights which include, but not limited to, the right to; bodily integrity and autonomy; suffrage ( the right to vote); to work; to fair wages; to equal pay; to own property; to education; to hold public office an to have parental and marital rights.

Women in India face many challenges that impede their advancement socially and economically. Discriminatory family codes illiteracy and cultural stigmas are the main challenges. Heightened campaigns by the Relief India Trust has raised pressure on the government to raise the level of dialogue and reform the institutional treatment of women in a rapidly modernizing society. This has seen more of enforcement of laws that address the plight of women in the society. Government is closely monitored to check laxity and ignorance on issues affecting women. The court system has been put in the spotlight over its approach to cases touching women's rights violation. There is a more legal representation for women whose rights have been violated and this ensures justice and transparency.

One of the major elements hampering women's rights progress is the chronically low level of female political representation in parliament. This calls for empowerment of more women to vie for political office. In giving education to the girl child Relief India Trust nurtures leaders for the future by giving them a fighting chance which would be absent if the women were illiterate. The formation of women's lobby groups has been spearheaded by the trust. This ensures that bills in parliament that address women's interests go through to bring about institutional change in the legal framework.

At the grass roots level, Relief India Trust together with other stakeholders are working together with the male community in an effort to elevate women in the society. This is done through giving women to ply roles previously held by men and celebrating their success or confidence building.

The cause for women to realize their rights noble as it is cannot be achieved without them (women) being aware of the rights and what the constitution says about them. Relief India Trust has brought on board legal experts to ensure that women are aware of their rights. Civil education forums have been carried out widely in order make sure a majority of women is involved in the championing for their rights, needless to say that knowledge is power.

Economic empowerment is an effective way of ensuring women gains their rightful place in the community. Women dependent of themselves are less likely to be abused. Relief India Trust offers modes of self employment by distribution of equipment like sewing machines and baking ovens to self help groups formed by women. Rights to property ownership have also been advocated for with significant success over the years.

The main challenges are illiteracy, lack of representation and cultural belief that still hinder the advocacy and the realization of these rights. With the stumbling blocks being changed into stepping stones, the realization of women's rights is not a pipe dream.

Relief India Trust NGO Creating Accountability

Children's rights are violated all over the world and in India particularly. All the while none is brought to book, no-one is held accountable, no-one is concerned and the children are left to their own devices. To be able to make the society a better place, children's rights have to be observed. Relief India Trust in collaboration with other organizations of its kind, institutions and individuals that champion children's rights have joined hands to realize accountability for violation of these rights. The main focus is children of divorce, separation, orphans or born out of wedlock.

Relief India Trust has been able to help in matters pertaining to the Indian family court system and the Indian appeal system as well as prevention of child abduction in India, kidnappings, denial of visitation and access rights, child custody, abandonment and neglect. The court system has been made more effective in handling child right violation cases including sexual abuse, child labor and neglect cases.

The government has been held more accountable in the children's affairs. More laws are being passed that safeguard the child's interests and make the society a safer place for them. The government has also improved its compliance to the child right protocol put forth by the United Nations. The protocol requires the nation to implement the laws put there in and give an annual report on the implementation process. Relief India Trust through its children, rights advocacy programs, has been able to monitor the government concerning these protocols and making sure that they are adhered to.

The Relief India Trust has also made accountable parents who violate their children's rights. It's the right of children to occupy their rightful places in the family, get provision and security. Many parents and guardians have been known to abuse their children sexually, and also involve them in child labor. The organization has been successful in reducing these cases by bringing to trial the perpetrators while sensitizing the community on children's rights. There are more channels put in place for children and other members of the society to come out and report rights violations.

Children spend most of their time in school. This makes the school a place where the rights can be realized and at the same time violated. Violence on children is more rampant in schools by their peers and teachers. Relief India Trust closely monitors schools to make sure that children's rights are not violated. Children must go to school for learning reasons only and any other activity contrary is a violation to their right. Schools have also become a place where children can report cases of abuse and get help as teachers have become more concerned for the plight of children. The teachers have been trained to identify cases of child abuse, make follow up and offer guidance and counseling where needed. It is in these institutions that Relief India Trust has been able to make progress in the championing of children's rights by organizing awareness forums and sensitizing teachers on these rights.

Basic education is the right of every child and Relief India Trust NGO has made sure that every child that has attained school going age is in school. The organization also plays a big role in removing these children from the streets to the schools where they can get an education.

Relief India Trust Alleviates Child Abuse and Exploitation

In the world over and India in particular, large numbers of people live below the poverty line. This makes many desperate to make ends meet and in turn giving greedy and heartless individuals a chance to exploit the needy. The sad reality is that children are the victims of this inhuman treatment.

Relief India Trust has over the time compiled facts about this reality. For instance 17 million children are employed in child labor with 80% of these children in the metropolis of India. 25% of victims of commercial sex exploitation victims are under the age of 18 years. A majority of the child labor is in the agricultural sectors. Young girls are exploited sexually, a big number enrolled in sex cartels. Many die in this practice due to abuse, infection and even murder.
These are the sad realities that prompted the Relief India Trust organization to involve itself in the fight against child labor, abuse and sexual exploitation.

Child abuse

Children are abused in many ways and in various settings in the society. In their very homes they come from and by the very people that are supposed to protect them, at school by the teachers that are supposed to nurture them and intra-child abuse by their peers.To curb this trend, Relief India Trust has put in place programs that help in creating awareness in the society. People are educated on the importance of children and their place in the society. Children in abusive environments are taken to safe houses and children's home to make sure they are safe from sex pests and exploiters. Child labor is reduced when families are able to fend for themselves as children won't be required to chip in to the family budget.

Protecting the girl child

Relief India Trust in partnership with other nonprofit making organization and the government of India have done a lot to protect the girl child against an increasingly abusive society. Girls are given sex education to make them aware of the dangers of indulging in premarital sex, they are also made aware of behavior that is abusive and where to report in case of such scenarios. They are put in schools and homes away from the risky environments. The government has done a lot to create laws to make sure that the girl child is cushioned against exploitation.

Rolling out of sanitary pads has played a role in building the confidence of adolescent girls who require them but can't afford. In doing this, more girls are able to consistently go to school and also have a competitive edge in sports and academics.

Girls who have already been abused are enrolled in special rehabilitation centers. There the organization is able to offer them treatment in case of infections or otherwise. Counseling and guidance is also given to these girls as virtue is imparted to them.

Both male and female children may be abused if left alone in the world. By the availability of social workers in these environments, these cases are significantly reduced. Relief India Trust has been in the fore front in making sure that the social workers are available where they are most needed, to give that watchful eye, a listening ear, and a caring heart to children.
