SAATH Charitable Trust An experience with Child-friendly spaces Valeria is doing a research internship with Saath, as a part of her master’s program at a Dutch university (Universiteit Utrecht). The topic of her research is on Saath’s non-formal education program Child-Friendly Spaces for Child Laborers (CFS). She conducted 34 interviews with children from all three CFS centers in Vasna, Behrampura and Juhapura. When the school gave us a list of all NGOs willing to host us as interns, Saath was my top choice. Not only was the research topic interesting, but most important I shared Saath’s approach to do development. I have not been disappointed! I was able to see first-hand how the CFS program is making a palpable change in the lives of these child laborers by educating them and bringing them back in formal schools. CFS plays a vital role in helping these children realize their academic capabilities, and showing them that education is fun but also very important. This is my first time in India and also my first time doing scientific research. It has been an enriching experience in every sense. I learned how to make questionnaires, do pilot studies, deal with a language barrier and culture differences, as well as working in a team with my research assistant. In every step, I had Saath’s full support. The best part of my experience in Saath, however, has been making a personal connection with these children, who have all my respect and admiration. They daily overcome obstacles and manage their workload, so that they can go to school. They have high expectations and are working hard in order to achieve their dreams of becoming the next doctors, teachers or police officers of Ahmedabad. Support My School Support My School is a campaign initiated by Charities Aid Foundation India (CAF) and is supported by NDTV and Coca Cola India. The campaign supports schools to improve the infrastructure at their sites. There are five main components: • improve water facilities • improve sanitation facilities • provide rain water harvesting • improve facilities for sports • facilitate landscaping Saath identified 8 schools (4 urban and 4 rural) in the district of Ahmedabad, to participate in this campaign. The Support My School campaign started in April and will last for 6 months. Saath will ensure its sustainability with conducting a follow up after 6 months of implementation.

  • Civil Society in Conflict Cities: the Case of Ahmedabad
    Working Paper no. 64 - Cities and Fragile States - CIVIL SOCIETY IN CONFLICT CITIES: THE CASE OF AHMEDABAD Neera Chandhoke University of Delhi November 2009 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © N. Chandhoke, 2009 24 Crisis States Research Centre Civil Society in Conflict Cities: The Case of Ahmedabad1 Neera Chandhoke University of Delhi Introduction In 2002, mobs belonging to the cadres of the Hindu religious right (the Sangh Parivar)2 and a motley collection of followers executed what is best described as a ‘near pogrom’ of the Muslim inhabitants of Ahmedabad, where – although almost all the districts of Gujarat were affected by communal violence – aggression against Muslims took on particularly savage forms. This paper asks what accounts for the failure of civil society in Ahmedabad to raise a collective voice of protest against immoderate and deliberate acts of violence, both by state officials and its own organisations. Violence is not a stranger to Ahmedabad. The city is known for the frequency, the scale and the intensity of communal riots between Hindus and Muslims, even when the rest of the country and the state of Gujarat have not witnessed such violence. The first communal riot occurred in 1941, and another took place on the eve of the partition of the country.3 In 1969, in the first major communal riot to take place in the post independence period, 1,500 people (90 percent of all those killed) belonged to the Muslim community, and property worth 40 million rupees was destroyed (Shah 1970).

    Annual Report 2009 - 2010 About Saath SAATH is a non-governmental organization in Gujarat, India, registered as a Public Charitable Trust since 1989. In Gujarati the word saath means, “Together, co-operation, a collective or support.' Saath's one-stop, integrated services reach over 100,000 slum dwellers in Ahmedabad, and many more in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in India. Together, we are creating inclusive cities. Mission statement Utilizing market-based strategies to create inclusive societies by empowering India's urban and rural poor. Approach SAATH pioneered the Integrated Slum Development Programme in 1989, an approach that seeks to turn slums into vibrant neighbourhoods. Since the poor often have many needs at once, SAATH has created one-stop centres, through which slum residents have access to services such as health, education, employment, micro finance and affordable housing. We invest in human capacity of persons to manage SAATH programs in their communities. Communities co-invest with SAATH and donors by paying for, deciding, and implementing programs. SAATH engages institutions, corporates and individuals throughout the world as partners and supporters of integrated development in India.
