Community Building | Uplift Child & Community Trust

Uplift works with different minority groups ensuring a quality standard of living. The idea of community building is to adopt a village that is deprived of basic necessities and care, and provide health, education, housing etc that will build their living standards. This village adoption program in collaboration with corporate and sponsors will change the life and living. Workshops and Training will be organized for the women and youth group to lead a self-sufficient life. Issues like alcoholism, female infanticide, female foeticide, importance of education, health seeking behaviour would be some of the issues that will be dealt with keen interest. The idea is to enable the people to utilize their training and knowledge from these programs to address and overcome their problems. It also focuses on transforming them from being beneficiaries to becoming benefactors in the community.

PREVENTION OF FEMALE FOETICIDE/INFANTICDE: (Awareness program)

Working in the Salem Kalrayan hills, its objectives were aimed toward preventing female infanticide and foeticide and bringing about attitude changes with regards to the inequality of sexes. Uplift mobilized the community through women’s and youth groups, raised awareness about female infanticide and foeticide, provided necessary education and enabled the women to utilize their training and knowledge to address and overcome this problem in their communities. It also focuses on transforming these women from being beneficiaries to becoming benefactors in the community.

The women’s group and youth group activities revolved around open discussions of the underlying causes of female infanticide, and what could be done to prevent it.
