Message from Director

Rev. Dr. Fr. Mathew Vattaathara CMI

The core value of Rajagiri outREACH stems from a quote “The day in which you do not do some help to others will not be counted in the days of your life” by Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara, Social Reformer and Founder of CMI congregation. The combined efforts of professionals in Rajagiri outREACH help the community and environment to strive every day. This was evident when Kerala was confronted with the Flood in August 2018, one of the drastic catastrophes in the history of the State. Our integrated efforts to rehabilitate the affected people and their eco-systems have been well appreciated by the government and community and we as a team are determined to do good every day.

Message from CEO

Dr. Binoy Joseph

The Kerala floods of 2018 marked the worst disaster the State of Kerala had witnessed over a century; causing hundreds of fatalities and damages to wealth of over a million. Rajagiri outREACH has been in the forefront in the process of rehabilitation right from running the relief camp, mobilizing resources, developing infrastructure, psycho-social support, re-creating livelihood opportunities, rebuilding schools/social institutions among many others. We have achieved this feat without disturbing our other interventions such as Research, Child Centred Programmes, Women Entrepreneurship, Elder Care, Community Health Programmes, Environment Care programmes, etc. While we thank our partners for the enormous support extended to us, we present the Annual Report for the year 2018-19.

1. SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDIES

Land Acquisition for public projects in India has always been a conflicting social issue, primarily due to the scarcity of land for large projects and its confrontation with the prevailing life of people and planet. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 has made major changes in the land acquisition process and led to an improved compensation and plans for rehabilitation and resettlement in favour of the affected families, environment and institutions. One of the salient features of the Act is the inclusion of Social Impact Assessment Study which helps the affected families to reflect on the possible opportunities and challenges in the aftermath of land acquisition. Under Sub-Section (I) of Section 4 of the Act, Rajagiri outREACH has been empanelled as a Social Impact Assessment Unit for the State (Kerala) as well as in 7 Districts (Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Idukki, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Thrissur and Palakkad) to conduct SIA studies including Public-Hearing meetings and eventually to submit the report.

Since November 2016, Thirty Six Social Impact Assessment Studies have been entrusted by Revenue (B) Department, Government of Kerala and 12 District Administration, to Rajagiri outREACH. Out of the 36 sanctioned studies, 30 SIA Studies have been completed and submitted before the Revenue Department, Government of Kerala. During the reporting period, 18 new studies were sanctioned, out of which 6 State Level Studies were conducted. 16 Public Hearings were held in various districts during this period.

5. PROGRAMMES FOR WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Women Entrepreneurship is a major area of social action for RAJAGIRI outREACH. Empowerment through economic freedom and positive social mobility is what this intervention tries to build for these women beneficiaries. Kochouseph Chittilappilly Foundation, K. P. Paul Foundation, KITCO Ltd. and Sud Chemie (I) Pvt. Ltd. are few of the major corporate entities that have been associated with outREACH to devise and implement entrepreneurship development programmes for women in various locations across Kerala. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) fund from these Corporates / Foundations have been a key element in driving the actualization of these programmes. Women who get handpicked into these programmes are provided with various managerial, financial and social skills training that enable them to be successful in their field of business or trade. Training on specific skills like tailoring, handicrafts making, catering service, book binding, jewellery making, cow/goat rearing, poultry farm, beauty parlour, flour mill, mobile eatery shop, soap making, organic farming, etc., are also provided to these women.

Terre Des Home, a Denmark based organization had entrusted Rajagiri outREACH to implement and monitor two of their Entrepreneurship Support Programmes for Women Self Help Groups at Arattupuzha in Alappuzha district and Edavanakad in Ernakulam district, two of the Tsunami affected villages in Kerala. With over a decade of experience in this field, outREACH realises the potential of the women entrepreneurship programmes in positively affecting women, who were just a push away from succeeding in their lives. Women Entrepreneurship Programmes are critical in rural as well as in urban areas for the development and empowerment of women and thus strengthening families. These programmes in general help to motivate these women in bringing out their inborn skills and employ it to create a stream of earning. Many of the beneficiaries of these programmes, who have gone to do well in their area of business, have been able to provide employment to other underprivileged but similarly skilled women. It is essential to mention here that the programmes have been highly successful in instilling in the beneficiaries self-worth and self-confidence, which has enriched them to earn better positive acceptance and stature in their families as well as in their communities.

Below is a brief glimpse into the various activities that has been implemented:  Skill training on apiculture, reed craft, tailoring  Manufacturing of handicrafts  Catering service  Book binding  The creation of jewellery  The art of making candles  Cow/goat rearing  Poultry farm  Beauty parlour  Flour mill  Mobile eatery shop  Tuition Centre  Soap production  Floral Bouquet

Alphonsa has not fallen down, but she has definitely blossomed again

Unexpected isolation and miseries had not weakened her. We can give a big salute to Alphonsa who gained success in life when she was unexpectedly left all alone to bring up her 3 children after the sudden death of her husband. Alphonsa is presently living in a rented house at Chirissery near Tholore and she has regained her life with her skills and hard working nature. With the amount borrowed from her friends, she started making flowers and at present her endeavour has developed in making bouquets and all floral arrangements which has a good scope for Christian marriages and other functions. Her business expanded to other districts too and presently 10 women are working under her.

Her husband Mr. Shibu passed away 8 years ago due to a sudden cardiac arrest and 10 days prior to his demise she had given birth to her 3rd child. Alphonsa‟s father was bed ridden due to paralysis and her mother was also sick. She was unable to go out for work as her youngest child was sick. With the amount (Rs.10,000/-)

11. POST FLOOD INTERVENTIONS BY RAJAGIRI OUTREACH

Introduction - Kerala Flood 2018

The Kerala flood of 2018 marked the worst disaster the state had witnessed over a century. Several districts in Kerala had been battling the flood and its consequences since the 15th of August, 2018. The torrential downpour that had lasted much longer than usual, forced the state government to open up its dams in order to prevent them from crumbling under the overflowing water. With the dams being opened, the flood reached its peak, taking the lives of about 483 people, while displacing over a million from their homes. Rescue and relief workers were working round the clock in order to bring some stability to the situation. Several districts were severely hit by the flood, especially Pathanamthitta, Ernakulam, Wayanad, Alappuzha, Idukki, Palakkad, etc.

11.A. Flood Relief Activities of Kuttampuzha Tribal Development Project

The Kuttampuzha Panchayat of Ernakulam District was in dire need of help, with several people staring at the loss of their lives and livelihood, due to the flood. The Manikandanchaal and Inchathotti areas were the most affected by the flood, and had become detached from the rest of the Panchayat due to the floods. Some of the Tribal hamlets, like Thalavechappara, Kunchipara, Varium, and Thera had also become detached from the rest of the Panchayat. They could not travel across the “kadath‟ (river crossing) because it was flooded. The tribals hence found it difficult to access food and other provisions during the period. Severe damage had been done to houses, amenities, and documents in the Manikandanchaal and Urulanthanni areas. The people in the flood affected areas were also suffering from emotional trauma in the wake of the losses they were facing. There was even a case of a person passing away from a heart attack while seeing the flood. There were mudslides in Urulanthanni and Pinavoorkudi which completely affected 4 families. The people were in need of psychosocial support. When the floods hit Kuttampuzha, the team from CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Rajagiri College of Social Sciences and Rajagiri outREACH stepped in immediately and took action to help the people there. Working on the backbone of a joint venture between Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, Kalamassery and Christ (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, several flood relief operations were launched immediately by the team and was successfully completed.

As soon as Kuttampuzha could be accessed again with transportation, Mrs. Meena Kuruvilla, Project Director of Rajagiri outREACH, and Lissy Jacob, Project Coordinator KTDP, visited the flood affected and mudslide areas of Manikandanchaal, Urulanthanni, Pinavoorkudi and Panthapra Hamlet on 28.08-18 and also had discussion with the Officials of Kuttampuzha Grama Panchayat and Ward Members. The Panchayath officials pointed out that 7th ward of Kuttampuzha Grama Panchayath named Manikandanchaal was one of the most flood hit and isolated areas, and requested for sufficient psychosocial support to be sent to Manikadanchaal.

Relief kits were supplied to 420 households in different hamlets i.e., Thalavechappara, Kunchipara, Varium, Thera and Panthapra with the support of Vanasamrakshana Samithy (VSS) and Kuttampuzha Grama Panchayath. These households, though not directly affected by the flood, still went through hardship as they were detached from the mainland due to the heavy downpour and increased water level in the river.

11.E. KINARINEKAAM PUTHUJEEVAN – FLOOD AFFECTED WELLS CLEANING PROJECT IN ERNAKULAM DISTRICT ORGANIZED BY RAJAGIRI OUTREACH WITH THE SUPPORT OF COCHIN SHIPYARD & MALAYALA MANORAMA

During the floods in August 2018, the rural areas were hard hit as most of the households depended on well water and the well contamination was high. Around 25% of water samples collected from wells in the flood-hit regions of Ernakulam district have been found highly contaminated.

The objectives of the project was to support the economically backward people from selected flood affected Panchayath/Municipality for rejuvenation of contaminated wells due to flood; to protect the health aspects of the affected family by providing clean and safe drinking water and also cleaning up of public wells that have been used by neighbouring community.

As we are aware that due to the flood, severe damage happened to all the belongings of people from socially and economically backward community. A huge financial necessity was there to restructure the same. Since these affected families were already in a situation of financial liability, they found it difficult to meet the expenses for the cleaning and purification of the wells. So there was an urgent need to support the families and those who were in need.

The project “Kinarinekaam Puthujeevan” was a joint effort by Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, Rajagiri outREACH, Kinarinekaam Puthujeevan Cochin Shipyard and Malayala Manorama, with the sole Grama Panchayaths: 22 aim at cleaning of selected flood affected wells in the 22 Red, alerted Grama Panchayaths in Ernakulam Applications Received: 2371 District. Applications Selected: 933 Wells Cleaned: 821 The Project was guided by Rev. Dr. Fr. Saju M. D. CMI, Assistant Director, Rajagiri College of Social Sciences. The Project was implemented with the support of Departments of Social Work, Commerce and Psychology of Rajagiri College of Social Sciences.

The applications were collected from the Panchayaths by Rajagiri outREACH Staff and the Students of Commerce and Psychology Departments of RCSS. The house visits, the feasibility study of the wells and the scrutiny of the applications were done by the MSW Students of Rajagiri College of Social Sciences under the supervision of Rajagiri outREACH Staff. A total of 2371 applications were received by the efforts of Rajagiri outREACH Staff and the Students of Rajagiri
