<p> Annual Report 2003 -2004</p><p>------If you wish to know more or contribute in some way, please contact us at: Email:[email protected] Admin Off: Saathi, Agripada Municipal School, First Floor, Farooque Umarbhoy Lane, Mumbai Central (E) Mumbai 400 011, India. Tel:+91-22-23009117 www.saathi.org Dear Friends,</p><p>In our eighth year of work, we find a distinct growth and evolution in our projects and views. We have grappled with the issues that emerge from growing into a mid-sized organization and decentralizing management. We have strengthened partnerships and seen our internship program bloom.</p><p>Our relationship with Inheritance India Land Conservation Company Pvt. Ltd., a socially responsible corporation, was formalized this year, though Saathi has been participating since Inheritance India’s inception. Saathi was the first and only Development Agency to be approached by this company and has lent insight into an array of issues in addition to conducting a project in partnership in Nilambur, Kerala.</p><p>We have examined several aspects raised through the growth of the organization. A key issue that has come up is the lack of clear guidelines for management practices specifically for the Development Sector. Because of rules against ratios of family relationships, one of our Founder Trustee Members has had to step down. Our many thanks go to Ms. Nayyar Shaikh for her years of service as a Trustee and in her steed we welcome Ms. Mohua Nigudkar, a faculty at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. </p><p>We are also looking at investment options available to Development Agencies and constraints on activities that would allow the organization to earn an income. We are faced with the dilemma of attempting to meet basic financial aspirations of our team members with very limited avenues of generating resources.</p><p>Through our growth, we have also recognized the need to shift the onus of day-to-day management decisions to a second level of management. It is in this spirit that the upcoming team is authoring this letter. </p><p>Over the years, what we have learned from one project has led us to naturally extend into new areas where we can apply those learnings for a greater good. Through this, we have reexamined and evolved our overall vision. We have made a concerted move from being an organization that “works with youth on the street” to an organization that “works for a Just and Equitable world with special focus on youth on the street.”</p><p>Through all these struggles, we have had several exciting achievements:  In our advocacy efforts and work towards de-institutionalization of youth, two youths in conflict with the law were released into the custody of Saathi as a recognized “fit institution.”  Analysis has begun of data collected in the Girls project for one of the very first experiential situation analyses to be released related to adolescent girls, homelessness, and issues faced.  Our work with Youth Living on the Streets has started a new avenue of sports that has culminated in nine youths running the half-marathon held in Mumbai this year and training for future events. This program opened the door for parallels to be drawn in focus and determination and mentoring towards larger aspirations and goals, recognizing that the youth can be anything to which they aspire.  Our intern program that started in 2002 has flourished with four more international interns joining us this year and several others scheduled to work with us in the coming year.</p><p>As we look forward to another meaningful year, we invite you to join us in the journey. </p><p>Warm Regards, For the Saathi team,</p><p>Sophia Alphonso, Minal Chheda, Inam Mukaddam, Bhakti Padwal, & Valerie Tripp. Project Coordinators. Case illustrations</p><p>*Zamir, age 17 years, was found at Mumbai Central station and is a deaf mute, communicating through sign language. Among his possessions was a diary with an address written in it, though he has conveyed that he does not want to go back home. Zamir was referred to a night shelter but did not wish to stay there. He lives on Mumbai Central Station and works as a coolie, earning some amount of money which helps him sustain his daily needs. He also saves money with people at the station . Saathi referred Zamir to Nair Hospital for medical treatment tests and sponsored the costs. The doctors have reported that he can hear faintly; with proper treatment he may be able to hear and talk. Later he was taken to Ali Yavar Jung National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped. From there he was given a hearing aid. He is happy with it. Meanwhile one is also trying to find out more details about him and his family. He continues to keep in regular touch.</p><p>*Naheed - is a 19 yr old from Delhi and has been with Saathi for the past two years. She has previously left home twice. The third time she ran away to Baroda where she worked as a domestic helper for some time and the family then sent her back home. This time she came away to Mumbai largely with an aspiration to join the film industry.</p><p>In Mumbai she met a taxi driver who offered to help and took her to his home. When he began forcing her to marry him, she left his house. Saathi workers met her at Mumbai Central station during outreach. Later, some relatives spotted her in Mumbai and traced her to Saathi. She initially did not wish to maintain contact with her family but over a period of time has been encouraged to do so. She does not want to go home and aspires to make a living by herself here.</p><p>She has successfully completed several training programmes, including an acting course, security training, and hospitality management training with a five star hotel as part of their apprenticeship-training programme. She has currently been placed for employment with a restaurant and is just beginning to settle down at her work place. She now wishes to move into a house of her own and bring her mother to live with her, which is her next goal.</p><p>*Names have been changed to protect identities</p><p>Marathon: When the boys participating in Saathi’s projects found out about the upcoming 1st International Mumbai Marathon, nobody thought much of it. It then came to our notice that some of the boys were rising at 5a.m. and running barefoot through the streets to train themselves to participate in the run. Saathi immediately took action, finding volunteer coaches and sponsors for the equipment and additional nutrition requirements. On February 15, 2004, and in the two months leading up to it, we were reminded that these individuals can be or do anything they set their mind to. On that day, we watched as nine boys completed the 21km half-marathon and three boys and nine girls completed the 7km Dream Run. About Saathi</p><p>The Development Organization Saathi was registered under the Societies Registration Act in January, 1997. Its vision is to contribute towards a Just and Equitable world where every person enjoys his or her rights as a citizen and looks forward to a life filled with hope and enthusiasm. We are working towards this vision through several projects within the organization supported by a dedicated team. Saathi believes in being a dynamic organization continuously trying to learn and to share and to take part in building and participating in networks.</p><p>The Youth Center located in Kamathipura works with teenaged boys living on the street and train terminuses. They can come to the center for a wash, nutrition, camaraderie, non-formal education classes, counseling, and vocational training as well as sponsorship for formal education and outside vocational training. Those that wish to return home are given assistance; others are given the opportunity to work on socialization and integration by staying in the group homes.</p><p>The Girls’ Center is located in Agripada and works with homeless teenaged girls. Health care and nutrition is provided along with non-formal education, counseling, recreation, and vocational training. A night shelter is also provided. For those that wish to return home, assistance via travel, escort, family counseling, and follow-up is offered.</p><p>Home Placement assists girls and boys of all ages that have left home for various reasons, to return. Intensive efforts are made to prepare the child or adolescent, escort him or her home and intervene in the family with regard to the issues leading to the child leaving.</p><p>Quality Institutional Care and Alternatives for Children (QIC&AC) is a nationwide initiative with which Saathi is involved as lead organization in Maharashtra. This initiative is working to ensure minimum standards for children in institutions as well as finding positive alternatives to institutionalization within the community.</p><p>Project Aasmaan is conducted in partnership with the organisation Committed Communities Development Trust and works within a pavement community taking non- formal education to the children, vocational training and health information to the women, and building groups within the community. </p><p>Project Nilambur works as a partner organization to Inheritance India Land Conservation Company Pvt Ltd in a collaborative effort in the Nilambur region in Kerala. Saathi is a part of a multi-faceted project with the goals of precious land conservation and restoration, community development, employment generation and raising the commercial value of the environment.</p><p>Saathi was one of the first organisations to respond to the 2002 violence in Gujarat working in the refugee camps to rebuild communities and work with children traumatized by the events. Saathi is still actively involved as a mentoring organization to NGO Sahyog in the Vatva region.

It began as a spontaneous response to the gaps in intervention in the field of children living on the streets and has been growing ever since. The project extends its services to youth from the age 16 - 22 years, with younger children referred to organizations catering more specifically to their age group. It does this through using Outreach as a strategy and maintaining a center for day activities.</p><p>Achievements  Five youth prepared for the Xth Standard exam through National Open School.  Establishment of independent workshop space for the Paper Project and achievement of 65% self-sufficiency.  Placement of two youth in conflict with the law in Saathi’s custody as part of Saathi’s efforts toward de-institutionalization of youth.</p><p>Concerns and Challenges  Availability of night shelter facilities for youth over 18 is extremely low, causing problems in referring at-risk youth to safe accommodation.  Documentation and reporting needs to be restructured to better reflect the tacit knowledge of the project and translate that into documentation that can be shared with others.  Interpersonal dynamics within the project raise various issues in effectively running the various programs. Future Plans  Up-scaling various programs within the project.  Small surveys will be conducted to update our understanding of the issues faced by the youth living on the streets, like that of their aspirations, current working conditions.  Documentation of the group housing system that can stand as a model for other organizations to replicate.  Efforts have to be made in working along with the Government systems in all aspects of the project, viz. the Municipal Corporation has to be tapped to make use of the already existing resources for health, employment, education, shelter, etc.  The long discussed issue of citizenship for the youth living on the streets would be given serious attention this year where concentration would be done on getting Ration Cards for the boys and also getting the names of the boys in the voters list. </p><p>The Invisible Girl </p><p>In our fifth year of work now, Saathi’s Invisible Girl project has grown in many directions. It has continued to evolve strategies of reaching out to runaway girls based at Mumbai Central station. Work has grown from doing outreach by individual workers to developing and strengthening relationships with other stakeholders, mainly boys living and working at the station and collaborating with the police.</p><p>In addition to the day care centre established at the project’s inception, night shelter facilities have been put into place through partnerships with other NGOs. Health interventions have been facilitated through rapport built with Nair and JJ hospitals, and mental health as an issue is also being separately addressed. Apart from representing the issue at a city level, the project is also addressing the various facets of the issue in national forums. Additional areas of vocational training are being explored and an in- house Income Generation Project is firmly established. A long term shelter option for adolescent runaway girls who either have no home and family to go back to or do not want to return is being explored.</p><p>Achievements  The availing of the second room at the Agripada Municipal school for the effective functioning of the Day care center.  A Psychiatrist, whose professional contribution is to focus on mental health issues.  Repatriation Study: One of the first to be conducted on this issue using experiential data, the research study conducted to review the repatriated process of last 5 years, completed the two phases of data collection and analysis.</p><p>General Growth  Observation Home: The networking with the Observation Home, has opened up the avenue of working with the Child Welfare Committee on the rehabilitation plan of the girls referred by Saathi.  Income Generation Program: The activity of making Candle holders and Mosaic Glass Coasters is now regular. New girls (from other organizations) are involved in the activity. This has given a momentum to the activity.  Vocational Training: New avenues have been explored for the development and rehabilitation of girls coming to the centre who would like to be independent.</p><p>Concerns & Challenges  Shelter: Unavailability of shelter facilities for girls above 18 years has been a major ongoing concern.  Mental health Cases: Lack of alternatives for the mental health cases hampers the rehabilitation plan of the case.  Increase in the number of Drop-outs:To prevent girls from leaving the centre/ dropping out of the programme has been a challenge for the team.</p><p>Future Plans  Exploring long-term shelter for girls above 18 yrs.  Sharing of the process of repatriation through the research study  Working towards the prevention of girls leaving the programme. </p><p>Home Placement</p><p>Saathi has been working with Sathi (Raichur) for some time to work with assisting children in returning to their homes. Home Placement became a full-fledged Saathi project in 2003-2004. While repatriation is part of the Street Youth and Girls Projects, Home Placement focuses exclusively on assisting the homeless child or adolescent return to the family . </p><p>Achievements:  Integration of a partnership program into a completely in-house project.  Home Placement of 85% of children and adolescents contacted.</p><p>Concerns and Challenges  Working with the child addicted to substances in preparation for returning home.  Ways to prevent children and youth from running away from camps.</p><p>Case Illustration : Irfan, a 12 year old boy was brought to the Saathi Boys Centre by one of the older boys. He was referred to a night shellter from there. He kept getting into fights with the children there and because he expressed a desire to go back home, the Home Placement project workers were asked to follow-up.</p><p>Conversations with him revealed that he had befriended a lady, who he claimed looked after him well, in Mumbai and stayed with her for a few days and then left her house on the pretext of finding some work for himself. He initially was not comfortable giving details about his family. Reluctantly he gave a contact number of his aunt in another city, which provided the family link. Letters sent to the family got no response, meanwhile he was referred to the Observation Home. Finally the family got in touch with Saathi. His parents were concerned about his running away habit. Back home, Irfan was studying in school but casually mentioned that he liked to travel and visit new places. He finally went back home with his parents who had come to fetch him. This is a good example of a case handled by two different projects within the organisation</p><p>Aasmaan</p><p>Project Aasmaan completes its second year of working with the community living on the streets of Morland Road, near Kamathipura. Most of the men are partially unemployed and the women are employed as domestic help in the nearby households for extremely low remunerations. Living on the pavements of the road, the children and women are the most vulnerable groups. The project works on the educational, psychosocial, and health aspects of the community, specifically with girl children.</p><p>Achievements  Improved follow up of cases.  Increased ability in effectively handling cases that required Police intervention  Increased networking and allowed for a larger impact within the community with resources available as well as sharing of learnings and processes.</p><p>Future Plans  Extending outreach to 100 children in and around the community through the various activities and programs offered.  Initiate sponsorship program for promoting education in girls by approaching Private schools.  Introduce training programs for women on reproductive health care, to help enhance the position of the women in the family.  Network with organizations and government institutions to build links to make the community self-sufficient.  Community mobilization through addressing the issues of Drugs, Abuse, and girls’ education.</p><p>Case Illustration: Heena, a 16 year old girl, was weak and not feeling well. The team members escorted her to the local municipal hospital for treatment because she was reluctant to go to the doctor; there is much distrust towards the medical practice amongst our target community. She was provided TB medicines. A few months later, in spite of medication, there was not much improvement in her health; she still complained of chest pains. On further probing it was found the Heena was not taking her medicines. There was no one at home during the day as her mother used to go to work. The team members also felt that she was tired of sitting at home. She was encouraged to spend time with other girls of her age. </p><p>Later Heena, with her mother’s consent, was enrolled in the income generation project. Heena started spending time at the center and the team members ensured that she took her medicines on time. Interacting with other girls helped her in using her time fruitfully. She also has joined mehendi classes. The team members observe that she is more confident and now takes her medication on her own. Heena is showing a new interest in her own future and confidence in her ability to earn and contribute to her household.</p><p>QIC&AC: Quality Institutional Care and Alternatives for Children</p><p>The campaign on the QIC&AC initiated by CRY nationally in 11 states in India and supported by Saathi at the Maharashtra State level, is an initiative in collaboration with the State Department of Women and Child Development. It aims at ensuring quality care in residential institutions for children and in facilitating family-based and community-based alternatives for social reintegration and de-institutionalization. </p><p>The campaign aims to reach out to nearly one lakh children in 750-odd institutions (government run/government aided/private trusts and voluntary organisations) in the State, catering to children from birth to 18 years of age. The campaign endorses the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989, and believes that every child has a right to a family or a family-like nurturing environment. It also believes that the State is responsible for the protection of children in the absence of any family or with families in distress and that the civil society is an equal partner in the process.</p><p>Achievements  Completion of data collection in 13 districts on the nature and profile of institutions and after care and rehabilitation of orphan children in residential care institutions  Direct intervention programs: On rehabilitation with a girls institution, consortium building with an observation home, Life skills education training program with several institutions, and snehabandhan to introduce the foster care program in Amravati with about 400 parents  Research study on infrastructural facilities for children in conflict with law: QIC&AC undertook a study along with TISS analyzing the infrastructural facilities at 46 Observation Homes and 4 Special Homes in the State.  Representation in the international conference on Children in Residential Care in Stockholm: Supporting Nirmala Niketan (convenor: national pre-conference) in preparing the country paper and organizing the national pre-conference in Mumbai</p><p>Saathi’s contribution to QIC&AC:  Providing technical support to the campaign, in the form of financial support, infrastructure and other equipments and administrative support  Deputing a trustee and a project coordinator on the campaign  Sharing expertise of running day care centres and rehabilitation programs for street youth and children in conflict with law  Interface for the campaign with State-level stakeholders  Support to the state-level study on Implementation of JJ Act 2000 and children in conflict with law  Extending training expertise for workshops and programs  Reporting, monitoring and evaluation as part of the State core group of the QIC&AC  Housing the coordinators for the State-level and Konkan division  Representation of the campaign in organisational capacity at different forums  Interface with CRY- the funding partner for the campaign</p><p>Gujarat : Interventions with communities affected by communal violence.</p><p>The project in Vatva, Ahmedabad, Gujarat is run in conjunction with Sahyog, an Ahmedabad-based organisation. Saathi acts as a planning and mentoring organization while Sahyog carries out the project activities at the project site. Activities are focused predominantly around the children whose lives were so tragically affected by the Gujarat communal violence in 2002. Efforts focus on sustaining their education, integrating them back into formal education institutions, and helping them to overcome the traumas they experienced.</p><p>Achievements  Garnered support of diverse groups in the slum settlement for project activities.  Mobilised youth and initiated them into taking training camps.  Reached out to the women of the slums through its teachers and assessed their requirements and possibilities.  Connect to local leaders and discuss various possibilities for development of the slum.  Created a line of communication leading to formal education teachers recognizing the potential and issues faced by the children of these communities, which has resulted in the children being involved more in classroom work by the teachers.  Increased confidence and sense of well being by the children.</p><p>General Growth Considering that Saathi and Sahyog intend to be in Vatva for a limited period of time, considerable energy has been spent over the last year in exploring existing community networks and organisational support in the slum area. Through their educational intervention, Saathi and Sahyog have made contact with a Madrasa, a centre which boasts of regular attendance of all its pupils – almost all the slum children below 12 years of age. The Maulvi from this center has begun attending teaching and play sessions at Sahyog, as a relationship develops.</p><p>Concerns and Challenges  Working with communities around Vatva to accept the children and community members as equal members of society.  Working with local educational institutions to employ teaching methods.  Overcoming parents’ feeling that education is not a priority.</p><p>Future Plans All programs are run with the underlying strategy of making them self-sufficient rather than building a reliance on Saathi and Sahyog to support the community indefinitely. With that in mind, Saathi and Sahyog intend to:  Mobilise youth and initiate them into vocational training that would make them self- sufficient or help them find jobs.  Run organised micro-credit system amongst youth and women  Organise the community and provide educational support in a way that prepares them for organizations’ exits. Nilambur – Participation in the setting up of a Socially Responsible Corporation</p><p>Saathi was invited by the private enterprise Inheritance India, whose mission statement is the ambitious “the Planet is our business,” to help design and implement it as an entity. Together we teamed up with the Government of Kerala’s forest department and the people’s cooperative Vana Samrakshana Samiti (VSS) in a multi-faceted project with the goals of precious land conservation and restoration, community development, employment generation and raising the commercial value of the environment.</p><p>Very early it became clear that the environment was an issue easily understood outside India and this is how Saathi’s international internship programme began.</p><p>Achievements  Involvement of four International and two Indian interns via the project to assist the whole organization.  Recognition of strengths and challenges that come with a partnership of Development and Corporate Sectors.  Giving a different perspective to issues and challenges that came up during the year. General Growth  Opportunities for internal fundraising and participation in events.  An avenue of exploration for Saathi team members interested in related and other issues.</p><p>Concerns and Challenges  Communication channels and working styles between the various partner organizations.  Funding possibilities when a corporation is involved as well as when population being assisted are literate adults.</p><p>Future Plans  Outdoor activities and vocational training programs are being developed for the youth and girls of Saathi’s other projects.  Design and test a micro-finance model for Saathi’s various communities.  Evaluate the value of contributions vis a vis emerging expectations.</p><p>Audited financials available on request or on our website at: www.saathi.org General Organization Data</p><p>Salary and Benefits Salary Benefits Organization Head 0 None Highest Paid Rs 24,000 / Month Telephone and Travel allowance Lowest Paid Rs 900 / Month None, Part time </p><p>Distribution of salary levels Slab of gross salary (in Rs) plus Male staff Female Total staff benefits paid to staff staff Less than 5000 5 9 14 5,000 – 10,000 6 8 14 10,000 – 25,000 2 1 3 25,000 – 50,000 50,000 – 1,00,000 Greater than 1,00,000 </p><p>International Travel Total Rs 40,320: Ms. Bhavani Shastri (team member) to Stockholm, Sweden, for attendance at conference on children and residential care organized by SIDA, Save the Children Sweden, and UNICEF towards efforts with Quality Institutional Care and Alternatives for Children.</p><p>Governing Board Members / Trustees (as of 31 March 2004): Altaf Shaikh, Mansoor Qadri, Mohua Nigudkar, Neeta Kolhatkar, Rashmi Varma, .
