Activity Report 2015Page 2

FROM OURPRESIDENT, SOUTH ASIA ADVISORY BOARD


Dear Colleagues and co-travellers who promote education to change lives,

It is my pleasure to share with you the work of AEAI in South Asia. The year 2015 was full of challenges, with natural disasters due to climate change and a crunch in financial resources for a variety of reasons. While the governments in the region are committed to Education for All, allocating adequate resources continues to be an issue. In spite of this and taking up the challenge to make education a lever for development, AEA South Asia, has taken many initiatives which have transformed lives.

The iLEAD programme, providing skills and incomes to youth, indigenous children not only learning their own language but challenging the system to reach out, young women entrepreneurs developing their leadership skills and supporting families have brought joy to all. The struggle to ensure access to quality education for marginalized communities and basic educational rights to children forced to migrate with their families continues.

Our efforts have brought together many partners, International organizations committed to education, state and national governments, other civil Society organizations, Corporates and most importantly communities to work together for change. I hope you find many of the stories reported here inspirational and we can strengthen our efforts to create genuine international solidarity where all can live with dignity and hope.

Wishing you the very best,

Dr. V. RUKMINI RAOPRESIDENT-SOUTH ASIA ADVISORY BOARD

Dear Friends,

It is my privilege to present to you Education Beyond Boundaries- the Activity Report along with the financial accounts of Aide et Action South Asia for the year 2015.

In 2015, the South Asia Region faced unprecedented natural disasters. Aide et Action with its proven experience of working with survivors in the post-disaster situations went beyond boundaries to reach out to a large number of volunteers during Nepal Earthquake Response as well as during the Chennai Floods in India. These volunteers comprising university students and professionals from wide range of sectors like Information Technology, Journalism and Academia helped us reach out to the earthquake and flood survivors with much greater efficiency and effectiveness. I would like to thank all those Volunteers, who liked our ways of working and have now become our ambassadors and regular volunteers. With their support we could revive education of thousands of disaster affected children much faster than ever before.

I am very happy to share that iLEAD, our Livelihood Education program has completed ten years and has reached out to a total of 200,000 youth from underprivileged communities. In past ten years, with constant innovations, the program has transformed from a mere vocational training program to a more comprehensive livelihoods and entrepreneurship development program, which now also prepares youth to become the Change Agents for their own communities and beyond. Now, iLEAD has spread its wings to countries like Philippines also, where we do not have our direct presence.

I would like to thank all our donors and sponsors for their kind support and I hope that this support will continue in the years to come. I would like to thanks all our stakeholders for their continued support and commitment to Aide et Action's work- including thousands of school teachers, who have taken education and learning beyond school boundaries through Teachers' Resource Groups (TRGs). Their innovative ideas are enriching the learning pedagogy every day.

Finally, I acknowledge the contribution made by each of my colleagues and the commitment demonstrated by them to achieve our objectives for 2015.

With best wishes and regards,

RAVI PRATAP SINGHREGIONAL DIRECTOR-SOUTH ASIA

Access & Quality Education

Ten- year-old Bomma's parents never imagined their son would read & write in Kannada. For this tribal boy and a first generation learner who attends the Melukamana Hally Girijana Colony Government Primary School, it was very difficult to understand simple words in Kannada and English. Due to lack of interest, he missed classes very often. This was the case with most of the children in the school.

To address this issue, Aide et Action introduced digital teaching & learning technology through mobile tablets in the school. Various education related mobile applications were developed in the local context and installed into the tablets. This helped the teacher to teach in simple ways using technology, making the student understand the subjects easily. Once the tablets were introduced in the class, there was no turning back for Bomma. He started learning simple words in Kannada and English. He also solves Mathematics problems easily. Once backbencher, Bomma now leads the class.

“I can learn and remember rhymes & stories and say the names of fruits, birds and animals much easily”, says a smiling Bomma.

“Now my child shows interest to go to school. I took part in the Child Competency Assessment, and I was surprised when my child was reading kannada. He can solve Maths problems easily”

Livelihood Education


Padmanaban (23), a Srilankan refugee had been staying at the Pazhavilai Srilankan Refugee Camp since 2007. He was unable to continue his education after 10th standard due to poverty. Though Padmanaban receives a monthly stipend as a refugee, which was helping him meet his expenses, he wanted to learn a technical skill to supplement his income further.It was around that time, that he came to know about a training program conducted by Aide et Action with support of Catholic Relief Services' (CRS). He got enrolled for Automobile course and got trained for four months at the Nagercoil training center. “The course was 70% practical and 30% theory with efficient computer teaching faculty. I learnt about ITES and secured enough knowledge to compete the main stream job sector”, said Padmanaban. After the training, he was placed at an automobile workshop at Beach Road, Nagercoil and gets a salary of Rs 15000 per month. “We are happy and very sure that he will achieve more in life due to his hardworking nature. His source of income helps us in many ways and we will utilize it wisely for future”, say parents of Padmanaban. Impressed with Padmanabhan's working style, his employer said, “Getting skilled people is very much essential for the company's development and growth. Despite education, there are many who are not equipped with necessary skills whereas Padmanaban is pretty talented and confident”. He would potentially move back to Sri Lanka with these skills and confidence.

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2015

This year, the Livelihood Education program has reached another milestone by reaching as far as Philippines and Vietnam. While the program in Philippines promotes employability and entrepreneurial capabilities of single homeless mothers on the street, the programme in Vietnam supports youth in their employment.

With an objective to promote and sustain social enterprising models, Aide et Action started social business start ups - Muktaksh in India and iLEAD International Academy in Sri Lanka, in 2014.

Within a year of their inception, Muktaksh has reported a net profit of more than Euro 20,000. Similarly, iLEAD International Academy is ready to initiate its income generating courses by the end of first half of 2016.

Commemorating 10 years of iLEAD project in Aide et Action South Asia, several iLEAD centers celebrated September 17 with different activities.

'My Gakidh Village' initiative in Bhutan, which was initiated in 2014, has started yielding expected results. The project which focuses on developing entrepreneurial capacity of youth in eco-tourism, successfully moved forward with significant activities around production and marketing of locally grown tea by the trained youth.

The youth cooperatives, formed by the trained youth, are producing "My Gakidh village purely organic tea” and 'My Gakidh village organic red rice'.

iLEAD Muktaksh has launched iCreations, an enterprise started by iLEAD alumni, that aims to promote entrepreneurship among iLEAD youth who have completed their courses.

The iLEAD centers in India took part in the Government of India’s 'Digital India week 2015' program, from July 1 – July 8. The centers organized basic literacy progams for youth, women and children to enable them to access government services electronically.

In the month of September 2015, Aide et Action organized National Consultation on Children and Internal Migration in India in collaboration with UNESCO and Bernard van Leer Foundation (BvLF).

Several child development experts, sociologists, bureaucrats and human rights activists attended the program. The consultation made recommendations to create a database on migrants both at source and the destination, policy on portability of child-related schemes, ensure decent housing in a healthy environment at destination and access to basic facilities. The delegates also recommended that 25% reservation for children of disadvantaged groups may be extended to migrant children in the RTE, exchange of information between different ministries like WCD, Labour, Education and Social Welfare, formation of a National Alliance of Civil Society Organizations working on Children's rights and migration to channelize support system for advocacy mechanism, creating a National Mission for safeguarding the rights of Migrants children and families and mobilize corporate funds through construction companies and recruitment agencies for the education of migrant children.

Seven years old Sibani Dash hails from the Medhakot village of Berhampur block in Ganjam district of Odisha. Her parents are away for half of the year to work in brick kilns in Cuttack.

As a result, Sibani who cleared her 1st grade, had to discontinue her studies and migrate with her parents. After arriving at the worksite, Sibani was left unattended. Since her parents worked for longer hours at the site, Sibani was left alone at home to look after the household chores.

Aide et Action facilitators learnt about the child and approached her parents to enrol her into a nearby school. This however seemed to be a challenging task as her parents were unwilling to send her to school in a place not familiar to them. After continuous discussions, the facilitators were successful in convincing her parents to re-enrol Sibani into a primary school at the destination point.

In order to cope up with the missed classes, remedial classes were given to Sibani and other children from the kiln. Like any other child attending the government school, she was ensured midday meal, uniforms, text books and other study materials.

Earlier this month, Sibani cleared her annual exam scoring better grades at the destination school and has been promoted to the 3rd standard. Since, the brick kiln season is ending, a mainstreaming certificate was issued from the destination school which will help Sibani continue her education in the next grade in her village.

This shy, charming and ever-smiling eight-year-old belongs to a family of six members. Second of four children, Urmila has been at the CCLC for a year now. Her smile disappears when you ask her to talk about her parents since they work in the kiln. When asked about the centre,her energy comes back in a second. “I like to meet my friends at the centre every day. I come and clean up the place along with my mother or an aunty and make it ready for the others to come. I also ensure that there is clean water in the centre,” she tells us.

She likes the action songs and playing with clay. “I like clay modeling. My teacher gives us as much clay we want and we do whatever we like to,” she shares.

Urmila is very fascinated by the nurse who visits them monthly once for health check-up.

“I want to become a nurse when I grow up and never want to get back to brick kilns,” she says and smiles.

Teacher says – “She is proactive and is always ready to assist me. She helps me manage the class as well”.

As per Census 2011, there are 164.48 million children of 0-6 years of age in India. A number of constitutional and policy provisions have been made such as the 86th Constitutional Amendment which introduced Article 21A on the Right to Free and Compulsory education for children of 6-14 years age group and Article 45 to urge states to provide ECCE for all children until they complete the age of six years. However, there are many needy children who are yet to receive this provision.

Our programme, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is an integral part of basic education and represents the first and essential step in achieving our goal of 'Education for All'. The programme covers children between 0-8 years from the most vulnerable populations like migrants and sex workers using a holistic approach, integrating health, nutrition and education.

Apart from ensuring safe and healthy child care in the centers, the programme has collectivised mothers of the children through the formation of mothers’ committees. These committees are encouraged to participate in the decision-making for the best interest of their children.

Additionally, the ‘Caring & Safe Environment for Young Migrants at worksites’ project worked to sensitise the construction and brick kiln owners on ECCE and initiated processes that strengthen the ECCE mechanisms at the worksites.

the temporary learning classes. Once the temporary spaces were built, the classes resumed and the children are at their best to learn and play. Though it is difficult to forget the devastating experience, the teachers and the community along with Aide et Action team were able to ensure that the children overcame the fear. Along with Champabati School, Aide et Action supported 15 schools to construct temporary learning spaces which were identified by District Education Office (DEO).

“We got relief material from various sources. But Aide et Action is the first organization to support schools after the earthquake in Lamjung district.” Says Surendra Raj Parajuli, District Education Office.

Women & Girl Child Education


Meghali Loying, 30, like most women from her Mishing community was experienced in the craft of weaving. Involved in weaving since her teenage years, Meghali used to help her women relatives in producing clothes for domestic use. However after marriage, she started selling the products to support her family as her husband's meagre income was not sufficient to meet the family needs. Though Meghali had an enterprising acumen and wished to start her own business, she could not venture because of lack of financial resources.

However, Meghali’s dream of starting her own enterprise started materializing when she and 19 other fellow women members of Naamtemera Amoraguri village came and formed Bibha Self Help Group. During the initial years, members contributed money to run the group and formed their group bank account. In 2014, the members attended a Financial Linkage Training Workshop held by NEADS, a partner of Aide et Action, in collaboration with the National Rural Livelihood Mission. After follow-up, the SHG was successful in availing a loan of Rs 12 lakhs (Rs 60000 per member) from the Assam Gramin Vikash Bank. The group members decided to scale up their handloom activities and increase their production through collective efforts. Today, most of their produce is sold in shops in the town and through their outlet in the village. Every member of the group earns Rs 2500-5000 per month through the sale of their products.

Meghali says, “I am very thankful that I attended the training by NEADS. Because of it, we got the loan from the Bank. Although I was earning before, it was seasonal, however because of the increase in production, I now earn every month. I am happy that I am able to contribute to my family and in my children's education.”

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION & BRAND BUILDING

Ÿ In the month of May 2015, Aide et Action in partnership with Capgemini foundation initiated

Sponsorship, a concrete and reciprocal relationship

One of the principles of AEA sponsorship strongly advocates the reciprocal relationship between actors of sponsorship namely sponsors and children. While the children regularly send three correspondences in a year to their sponsors, it is left to the discretion of the latter to respond. In order to motivate sponsors to reciprocate, AEA shares a blank format for capturing the profile of sponsors along with their photo. Sponsors have started responding and having a photo on the name of the sponsors is making solidarity link stronger among children and community. Here is a profile of a sponsor:

Getting to know sponsors and their way of living, their celebrations … is an opening into an external world. Sponsorship is thus not a stand-alone activity in our education project. It is well integrated into the project adding quality to the very education imparted to children in the schools where AEA intervenes.

Institutional Partnership


AEA South Asia made a concerted effort to enhace its unrestricted resources. The other sources of income were through Institutional funding in India & Sri Lanka, and child sponsorship programme. We also conceived an innovative campaign to raise unrestricted resources - Hi5 for Education. However, lack of advance planning and our intense engagement in relief support to Chennai Flood survivors, we could not achieve our intended objectives. This campaign has, therefore, been advanced to 2016 as well.

'ENLIGHT', a project to promote Access & Quality Education for girls living in difficult circumstances thereby giving them an opportunity to build a better future. The project is implemented across Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Salem and Trichy and will provide support for the education of girl children from diverse social and health conditions.

Ÿ A new project “Microenterprise Development and Promotion in Meghalaya" was launched in 2015”. The project is supported by the TATA Trusts.

Ÿ Aide et Action International South Asia organized 'Coffee with Volunteers', a Volunteer felicitation programme on 20th Dec 2015 at Loyola College, Chennai. The program was organised to appreciate all our volunteers for their outstanding, selfless and multifarious participation and contribution towards the flood relief operations in and around Chennai. Noted film actress & social activist, Roshini was the Chief Guest of the event.

Ÿ 86000 families across 60 locations (Chengalpet, Thiruvallur & Chennai District) were reached out during the rescue and relief operations. The affected families were provided with materials worth 1.5 Crore supported by corporate houses (TATA sustainability group, Sathyam Cinemas, JAZZ cinemas, Central Leather Research Inst., TITAN industries, Polaris, Rotary club, World Yoga Organisation, GRT convention center, The HINDU group).

Ÿ ‘People for People’, a volunteer building initiative was organised to celebrate the dynamism and commitment of volunteers engaged during Chennai flood rescue and relief work .

Ÿ Google Adwords grant worth of $10, 000 per month in in-kind was awarded to promote Aide et Action’s activities on Google.
