Question 5

How are resources used?

Accepted Answer

We have learned that effecting long-term, sustainable change requires a holistic approach. Accomplishing this kind of change necessitates work at three levels:
1. Direct action with children in the form of education and health care.
2. Community mobilisation towards achievement of their rights.
3. Advocacy with government bodies to influence policy framing and implementation.
 
Financial support and non-financial inputs in the form of organisation development, capacity building and training is extended to:
1. Individuals and projects working directly with underprivileged children and their parents, with local communities and government bodies.
2. Resource organisations that provide training, education material, etc. to smaller, younger initiatives in particular.
3. Nodal agencies that function as miniature h4ngo, permitting us to increase our reach.
4. Strategic alliances or networks, whose aim is to facilitate the transfer of learning, build solidarity and influence policy.

As an NGO (non-government organisation), we do not receive any direct government funding allowing us to remain independent, making unbiased evaluations of government policies and programmes. The government has also extended certain tax and duty exemptions to us, enabling us minimise costs.

Question 7

Will my small contribution make a difference?

Accepted Answer

It most certainly does. A small amount goes a long way. In fact, individuals’ contributions form almost 90 to 95% of our income. Taken together, it is these seemingly small contributions that collectively add up to a large amount needed to effect change. There are people all over who are concerned about the situation of children and who want to do something to change it. However, their own commitments and pressures do not allow them to go out and directly work with children.

We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our on-going need for support in the form of infrastructure, equipment, corpus funds, skills and services. It is support of this nature that enables us to focus on our activities in the field rather than on our own viability. Each rupee saved is another deployed to benefit children. Every contribution in these areas actually frees resources and enhances our capacities.
