Message from Director

Rev. Dr. Fr. Mathew Vattaathara CMI

“Let there be no day in your life in which you did no good to others” by Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara is one of the main values in which Rajagiri outREACH believes in. Rajagiri outREACH has played a pivotal role in bringing positive changes in the community this year. The onset of the COVID – 19 Pandemic has brought much chaos but we believe that we shall tackle this situation too professionally. We have successfully reached out to the needy children, empowered both men and women, worked with youth for a promising tomorrow, held the hands of the elderly and have been the support system for the vulnerable groups. We acknowledge the immense appreciation received from the community and the Government for our humble efforts in creating an opportunity for the overall development of the community. We extend our gratitude to the various Government bodies, partners, funding organizations, corporate sector and beneficiaries for the enormous support extended during the year 2019 – 2020 as we look forward to a better and brighter tomorrow.

Message from CEO

We are confident that Rajagiri outREACH will continue to accomplish great feats in the years to come.

4 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

5 CHILD CENTERED PROGRAMMES

Together for our Children

5.A. CHILD SPONSORED PROGRAMMES

Child Sponsorship is a process of support given to a child to enable the child to achieve the maximum of their potential despite the lack of advantages. These may be in terms of social, economic or other obstacles to the development of the child. The process is continued till the child becomes self- sufficient. This could mean financially supporting the education, personality, socialization, health or security of the sponsored child or in some cases all of these. This could also mean contributing more widely to the child's community developing and indirectly helping an individual child. However an important feature of the child development programme is that it is ensured that the child continues to stay with his / her family of any sort (either with parents or other relatives or in foster care) and is NEVER institutionalized. Development programme reaches out to deserving children by providing them with the means for a better future.

Rights Based Programmes for

Children Objectives

 To support the families through the Child Sponsorship programme; continue the education of a child until she/he completes the school education or reaches the age of 18, whichever is earlier.  To ensure the holistic development of the child in spite of their poor socio-economic background.  To help the children to choose their career according to their capabilities  To provide support to the communities of children for development and to improve the quality of their life style.

At CHILDLINE, we follow an action process which starts at the first call and continues till the child in need of care and protection is safely rehabilitated. To put it simply, our work includes several stages which are:

1. Call 1098 – Any child or a concerned adult can dial the CHILDLINE 1098 helpline, which operates night and day.

2. Connected to CHILDLINE Centre – The call is received by the CHILDLINE Centre where details about the situation are taken from the caller and CHILDLINE units are mobilized, if necessary.

3. Rescue in 60 minutes – Once CHILDLINE has enough details about child or children in distress, the CHILDLINE team rushes to help children within 60 minutes to bring children out of an emergency situation.

4. Intervention – Once CHILDLINE intervenes to help the child, it works with multiple stakeholders such as police authorities, child protection boards, social workers and counselors. Children‟s consent and participation is an important component of this process from response Case Awareness to intervention. Interventions Programmes 224 27 5. Rehabilitation and Follow-Up – After the interventions, to ensure the child‟s continued safety, Childline Se Dosti CHILDLINE proceeds to find long-term Programmes rehabilitation for the child. For this, the CHILDLINE 8 team does constant follow-ups with the child – meeting the family or visiting the shelter if a child Outreach has been assigned to stay in one.

xx. Success Story – Women Entrepreneurship Sponsored by K.P. Paul Foundation

Mini Stephen, 35 Business: Tailoring and Stationery Shop

Mini was a young mother who had completed some tailoring and stitching lessons and was helping to support her family doing small in-home tailoring. But things in Mini‟s home life were less than ideal and without assistance from her husband, Mini was struggling to support her two children on her own. She heard about the KP Paul Foundation‟s Loan Program through a friend and former beneficiary. Mini‟s friend had taken out a loan through KP Paul and had started a tailoring business that was successful. With the encouragement from her friend, Mini Stephens also joined the KP Paul Program and got a loan for Rs.50,000/- to open her own tailoring shop.

Mini invested her loan money in dress materials but soon discovered that her shop would be more profitable if she also expanded to selling other goods as well. She used some of her loan to invest in stationery items and stocked her shop with useful items for her community. As the shop grew, she used her earnings to expand the store‟s supplies to meet the demands of her customers and also invested in some readymade textiles.

The process of running a business has not been easy for Mini. The rainy season is often slow as members of her community work less and therefore have less disposable income to spend. Additionally, big stores are able to offer discounts and have big sales during this time, and Mini loses business. She also has some personal challenges that have made starting and maintaining the business difficult. Mini has struggled with illness and has often had to close her shop to rest and recover. She sometimes employed a community member to help run the shop during these times. Mini‟s struggles at home with her husband made for additional challenges with running her shop.

Ms. Mini’s Entrepreneurship engaged in Tailoring and Stationery Shop

Despite the several challenges Mini faced, she has never given up, and because of her strong will, Mini‟s business continues to support her family. She is able to pay for her children‟s

RAJAGIRI outREACH Annual Report 2019-2020 RAJAGIRI College of Social Sciences, Kalamassery Page | 141 educational expenses and her mother has moved in with her to help with the children and when Mini is ill. Mini has also used her extra income to pay the legal fees for her divorce. The independence that Mini gained from running her shop gave her the financial means, and the confidence and will to leave a bad relationship. She now has the confidence to advocate for herself and for her children. She has also purchased a 2-wheeler that helps her to be more independent in her ability to move around her community, build relationships with customers, and network with other shops and distributors.

Mini‟s family has been supportive of her business and personal choices and the community created with the other women in the KP Paul program has also aided Mini in growing in her confidence. She enjoys the trainings provided by Rajagiri outREACH as they allow her some social time with peers as well as improving her business skills. Mini‟s natural strength and perseverance and the success she has achieved in her business and personal life are a testament to the KP Paul Program and the women it serves.

Name: Mariam Chumar

Mariam is a 79-year-old female currently attending the Elderly Daycare Program in Binanipuram, every Tuesday. She is a widow, who lives with her eldest son, Frances and her son‟s wife, Rosemary. She has two grandchildren.

Mariam has been attending the Daycare Program for 8 years. Some of her interests include doing household chores, as well as gardening. She previously worked in Binani Zinc Company.

Prior to attending the Daycare program, she was hoping to come to a place that would allow her to join together with other people, play games, and share meals. Her favorite part of the Daycare is having met all of the other people, and the overall happiness she feels in being able to socialize with them. She sometimes wishes that she could be more physically active at the Daycare, and would be interested in implementing a gardening program at the community center where they could plant different kinds of flowers.

Mariam states that she has received umbrellas, rice, vegetables, and blankets during the activities sponsored by Sud-Chemie India Pvt. Ltd., organized by Rajagiri outREACH, as well as free medical check-ups. Another benefit of the program is the community support. When former Day care participants are bedridden, Mariam and other participants will go and visit them in their homes. This, she states, is something she really enjoys, and feels is very important to do. She feels that the Day Care Centre is also a platform for sharing their feelings, performing cultural events, praticising yoga and celebrating important festivals. She also enjoys the lunch provided from the Day Care Centre. She said that she feels energetic and young when she comes to the Day Care Centre.
