Tribal Child Health & Early Education, Pune, India

November, 2011. Krish with children after distributing laddoos

From Krish Chakma's evaluation: 'The condition of the slum is even worse than the other slums in Pune and the status of hygiene is pathetic with filthy and congested surroundings. The destitution could be clearly seen in the faces of the people which express their helplessness.

'JEEVAK is the only organization working in the area with support from BODHI and making good effort to improve the status of health, education and livelihood besides creating awareness about health and hygiene as well as the need of education among the families in the area.'

Karunadeepa writes: 'Constant communication between parents and neighbours was able to bring them closer, which resulted in reducing the intensity of clashes amongst the tribals. Therefore children were able to concentrate.

'The tribal people compare our Balsangopan Kendra, which is far better than government-run centres, as we are better equipped and are showing good results.'

For outcomes and achievements, please see Karunadeepa's progress report.
