We have a number of people in the
society facing hard times due to their inability to deal with the situations
facing them. This may be as a result of poverty, underage or physical disability. For that reason, the concerned individuals are either oppressed or
not capable to live their lives as deserved of any human being in the society. It
is hard for such groups to ensure a better future for themselves or to their
children who depends on them. It is humanly that the privileged members of
society extend a helping hand to such groups in society to help them to live up
to their dreams and expectations.
India is one such country where poverty
has stricken a very large group of the society, with a lot of children dropping
out of school to help their needy families at least put something on the table
at the end of the day. This has resulted in early child labor where they are
subjected to harsh working conditions under individuals who do not care about
their well being. The women in the society on the other hand are facing tough
times due to the fact that they are considered as the ‘weaker section’. Physically
disabled on the other hand are faced with tough times without people volunteering
to help them. The only remedy for such problems facing specific groups of
society is community mobilization where the privileged members in the society
extend a helping hand to the affected individuals so that they also live a
better life.
Relief India Trust is a nongovernmental organization
whose main objective is to see all members of society live in harmony and in
better conditions. We help members of society with disabilities, young children
without the support and the poor who have no means to sustain their lives
comfortably. Through our various activities in different sectors such as
community participation, education, environmental protection among others, we
have effectively helped a large group of individuals sustain their lives in a
better quality way.
Objectives
of the Organization
We are mainly concerned about children
and the environment the reason why we go an extra mile to ensure that schools
have been set up for the poor and disabled children to attend for free. Poverty
is a disease whose only remedy is education. We have decided to put the
children’s education on the priority list so that they can learn life time
skills to enable them acquire jobs in the future and from that they can sustain
themselves and their families. There are actually many child labor turned
students reported every here so as to help their families in adding their daily
income to sustain their lives. Our goal is to ensure such children get enrolled
back to school at different levels according to their age so that they can
learn various skills and gain knowledge that will enable them secure better job
opportunities.
As earlier mentioned, promotion of the
environment is also our primary goal. We do participate in various activities
that ensure better environmental protection such as tree planting and cleaning
of the environment.
People’s development through continued
participation in networks and campaigns is all that the Relief India Trust is
fighting for so that the disadvantaged members of society can also experience
the better side of life. We fight for children's rights, enhance their
education and take part in participatory governance to help the society at
large without forgetting management of community’s natural resources.
