CHILDREN ANDCOMMUNITY

Plan has been working in India since 1979 with acommitment to improve the quality of life ofchildren, particularly girls, from vulnerable andexcluded communities. Plan India works in 14States in India spanning across 55 districts.Additionally, we worked on disaster preparednessand relief in 7 districts. Plan India’s programmesalso focus on poverty areas of urban cities like

Mumbai and Pune in Maharashtra. Four states inwhich Plan India implements long termprogrammes (Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and UttarPradesh) are amongst the ten states with thehighest poverty head count ratio in the country.Nearly 60% of the districts in the states Plan Indiaworks in have been categorised as backwarddistricts by the government of India.

As Europe recovered, we gradually moved out of these countries and started new programmes in less developed countries. The organisation removed the reference to war children and became ‘Foster Parents Plan Inc.' to reflect the goal of bringing lasting change to the lives of children in need, whatever their circumstances.

During 2014-2015 (FY' 15), Plan India programmescentred on supporting vulnerable and excludedchildren and their communities to access basicservices like pre and primary school education,healthcare and nutrition, drinking water andsanitation. These programmes were planned andimplemented in consultation with children, theirparents, as well as Panchayat leaders, teachersand frontline workers in government schools,anganwadis and primary health centres.

Plan India's 16 field PUs reached out to 2,116villages and 433 urban slums. These programmeshave directly benefitted 460,000 girls and 490,000boys. Additionally, our thematic initiatives focussedon building community capacity and awareness onissues such as UBR, adolescent health, anti-childlabour, anti-trafficking, gender discrimination, childnutrition and prevention of corporal punishment inschools which have indirectly benefitted over 2.2million children in our programme areas. Workingin close collaboration with 34 long term NGOpartners and 60 theme specialist NGOs, we haveenabled the establishment and capacity building of12,000 CBOs like children's clubs, youth groups,women SHGs, farmers clubs, etc. for children,women and men.

Child protection has been one of Plan India'smajor programme thrusts in FY' 15. 289 childfriendly schools have been created whereteachers and pupils are made aware of lawsagainst corporal punishment. 4,257 communitybased CPCs have been formed in slums andVillages/Gram Panchayats and members havereceived training to support children that areprone to child abuse and report such cases.

Plan India continued with its efforts to promotechild health and nutrition by engaging withmothers, adolescents, young people andcaregivers. In this context, 4,520 frontline healthworkers were trained on different aspects of childand community health, including sexual and

reproductive health and HIV issues. Furthermore,we supported capacity building of 35,295community health workers and peer educatorswho were trained on key health issues. 175,000children and adolescents participated at villagehealth and nutrition day celebrations and healthawareness camps thus improving their knowledgeand understanding of health related issues. Atthese health camps, 1,732 infants were enrolledin the government's ICDS programmes to receivefull immunisation.

Given the challenges faced by communities inaccessing safe drinking water, sanitation andhygiene, the focus was to improve school WASHinfrastructure. This resulted in 167 primary andmiddle schools having improved WASH facilities,benefitting 27,000 school going children particularlyadolescent girls. Several adolescent girls who haddropped out of school were re-enrolled and areactively pursuing their studies. Additionally, 7,320children and parents were trained on besthandwashing practices, importance of domestictoilets and their maintenance, etc. This resulted in2,574 families constructing domestic toilets therebyending the practice of open defecation.

Overall, Plan India's programmes have helped inimproving the quality of services provided bynearly 2,000 primary and middle schools and1,800 anganwadi/balwadi centres, along with 320primary health centres across 10 states in India.


Plan India works with children who are deniedtheir rights and deprived of basic services. Ourfocus is on children living in vulnerable situationssuch as children of migrant families, those whohave never been to school or have dropped out,children living on the streets, rescued fromtrafficking, affected by natural disasters as well aschildren living with disability and affected orinfected with HIV.

A Wish Fulfilled

Chilakabathini Pulla Rao is the son ofagricultural labourers. Due to financialconstraints, Pulla had to give up his studiesand start working along with his parents at thetender age of 11. One day, when the familyreturned from a journey back to their village,they heard of an empowerment programmebeing conducted by Plan India and its NGOpartner, through the medium of sports. Thismade Pulla yearn to re-join his school but hisfather was adamant on not sending him as anadditional source of income would be lost.

Upon learning of this situation, the Plan Indiateam visited Pulla’s house and requested hisparents to visit the school. After a lot ofpersuasion, they finally agreed to come. Theywitnessed the proceedings and went home insilence. In the evening, when the Plan Indiavolunteers went to Pulla’s house, his fathersmilingly announced that he wanted Pulla togo back to school.

Pulla was thrilled to hear this. Talking abouttheir change of heart, his parents said, “We donot want Pulla to miss all that we have seenwith our own eyes. Instead, we want him tolearn and enjoy activities like we saw at theschool. We feel that re-enrolling him in schoolwill not only make him happy but will also givehim the education he needs to succeed in life.”

Pulla has been going to school since July2015. He is in Class III and is an extremelybright student.

“My association with Plan India and Bal Panchayat, taught me theimportance of rights and responsibilities. Now my aim is to create safeand better communities for vulnerable children, fill their lives withhappiness and ensure they have a proper childhood.”

- Dimple, resident of Sangam Vihar

Together we can achieve a lot

“My name is Dimple and I live in Sangam Vihar. I am currently pursuing my graduation from DelhiUniversity and am in my final year. When I was in primary school, I got to know about a children’s groupcalled Bal Panchayat through my elder sister.

In 2001, I became a member of this Bal Panchayat. During my time with the group, I participated in variousactivities and helped create awareness in the community on issues of child rights and participation. I tookpart in awareness rallies with other members and conducted street plays in the community as well. Aftercompleting my school education and taking admission in Delhi University, I joined the alumni of the Bal-Panchayat group called ‘Youth for Social Change’. The group worked on various social issues on thedevelopment of children and youth. As a member, I learned how to work with children and communities. Itenhanced my knowledge on various issues which affect children’s development. My skills on how to handle children’s groups also improved as I interacted regularly with the Bal-Panchayat and parents groups. Withthe various capacity building activities conducted by Plan India and Community Aid and SponsorshipProgramme (CASP), my communication and writing skills also improved and I started working moreeffectively.

During my association with Bal Panchayat, I learned that everyone has a role to play in creating a safe andbetter community for children. The group taught me the importance of rights and responsibilities. Now myaim is to bring change to the lives of these vulnerable children, and ensure they have a happy and properchildhood.”

Right to

Participation

as Active Citizens


Every child has the right to form his own views which should be given due cognisance as their participation is both a means to child centred community development and its outcome. Child participation is anongoing process in which children learn how to express their views for their own development as well asfor their family and community.

Women can be

entrepreneurs too

Prema Devi, of Karampura village in Muzaffarpur,used to be a daily wage farm labourer. Sheparticipated in a skill development training formushroom cultivation sponsored by Plan India andsupported by the Muzaffarpur Botanical ResearchInstitute. She invested just Rs. 500 and startedgrowing mushrooms using her own unique andoriginal farming methods. Over time, she was able tobuy a mushroom production kit to expand her ventureand also inspired her family members to join her inthe business. Gradually, her family started earning anadditional income from mushroom farming with PlanIndia’s link to the wholesale market.

Now a successful entrepreneur and a mother of threechildren, Prema Devi is a top district level pharmarepresentative in the field of mushroom productionand the winner of the district level annual SwamiSahjanand Saraswati Innovative Farming Award of2015.

Prema is an active member of an SHG and childprotection committee. She volunteers in these groupspromoting the nutritional value of mushrooms andother healthy food among pregnant/lactating womenand children.

No sustainable development is possible without achieving a basic standard of living. Plan India ensureschildren and young people have access to sufficient and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for anactive and healthy life. It also promotes access to formal financial services (especially for women) andprepares young men and women for formal employment.

“With Plan India’s technical support, water and sanitation facilities were upgraded. Now there are separate toilets for girls in the school.”

- Goushia, Student, Government High School

Change for the better

This is Goushia’s story in her own words.

“My name is Goushia and I study in a government high school in Visakhapatnam,Andhra Pradesh. Out of 318 students studying in the school, 183 are girls. All thestudents, including myself, used to face a lot of problems as the school had neither anyfunctional toilets nor facilities to wash our hands. Even access to safe drinking waterwas a challenge. Other girls including myself preferred staying at home duringmenstruation because it was impossible to maintain any sense of hygiene in the schoolduring ‘those days’. This was a setback to our studies and we used to feel verydisappointed as we couldn’t take part in any extra-curricular activities.

My school was identified as one of the schools to partake in ‘Support My School’ – aproject sponsored by Coca-Cola and NDTV in partnership with Plan India. With PlanIndia’s technical support, water and sanitation facilities were upgraded. Now there areseparate toilets for girls in the school. Drinking water facilities and handwashing pointshave also been installed and a WASH committee comprising of children was formed.We were made aware on various aspects of personal health and hygiene with a specialfocus on adolescent and girls’ health. Girls were trained on the use of sanitary napkinsand their hygienic disposal.

Now my friends and I do not need to miss classes and we are able to take part in sports and other extra-curricular activities. It is such a welcome relief and we don’t dreadgoing to school anymore. In fact, we look forward to it.”

Right to

Drinking Water

and Clean Environment


Access to safe drinking water and provision of hygienic sanitation facilities are vital for the healthydevelopment of children and youth along with the well-being of their families and communities. Lack ofproper sanitation facilities of girls are often the cause of them dropping out of school.

Plan India has partnered with various corporates towards improving water and sanitation facilities in ruralschools. Renowned conglomerates like The Coca Cola Foundation, Finland based corporates, Kemira andMetso and Japan based company Rohto, are helping in renovating toilets blocks, creating new watersources and promoting sustainable hygienic practices.

“I was able to restore my livelihood and education of my children”.

- Jubeda Khatun, resident of Gollagunta village

Riding the storm

“I was able to restore my livelihood and educationof my children”. Initially, I was sceptical about mylivelihood being restored after the cyclone, butnow I am very happy to see my vegetable garden,says Jubeda Khatun”, a 34 year old resident ofGollagunta village.

Cyclone Hudhud devastated acres of land anddestroyed lives, cattle and crop. Jubeda’s familywas one of thousands affected. Her livelihood andfamily’s assets were completely destroyed. Hertwo children, Ramjanbi studying in Class VIII. andthe younger Kurshad Begam studying in Class IV,also lost all their school materials.

Jubeda received monetary support from PlanIndia on the condition that the money was to beused for restoration of her livelihood and herchildren’s education. Jubeda also receivedtechnical assistance on best practices for landcultivation. Her half acre of land could beupgraded with new agricultural methods andorganic manure, thus yielding a good variety ofvegetables.

Both Jubeda’s children have now started going toschool and receive financial support to buy schoolbooks, uniforms and other supplies.

Jubeda has started earning money from hervegetable garden. She has been able to put thetrauma of the past behind her and looks to thefuture with confidence.

The report focused on creatingsustainable change for adolescent girls anddescribed the factors influencing the lives of girlsand women. The Women Ambassador of theAustralian High Commission was the chief guest.

A play on gender biased sex selective elimination,‘Jug Jug Jio’ was also organised in one of PlanIndia’s urban resettlement intervention areas inDelhi. Shows were also staged in the urban areasof Hyderabad and Mumbai where sex selectiveelimination is common, but not widely known ortalked about.

Plan India launched project ‘Let Girls Be Born’ in2010 to focus on improving the survival rate of newborn girls by ensuring prevention of pre-conception(sex selection), pre-natal sex determination andselective gender based elimination. The projectgained strategic momentum in 2011 when theCensus of India recorded an all-time low in childsex ratio of children in the age group of 0-6yrssince India’s Independence. Currently the project isbeing implemented in Mirzapur and Sant Ravi Dasdistrict of Uttar Pradesh and Bikaner and Churudistricts of Rajasthan.

This year, two publications titled ‘Survive toThrive’ and ‘Stories of Change’ were published aspart of the programme. The dissemination of thepublications were organised with the Ministry ofWomen and Child Development, Government ofIndia and other CSOs. The Regional Director ofPlan Asia Regional Office (ARO) also participatedin the event.

‘Main Hoon’, a song created to celebrate girls aspart of Plan’s programme, was adopted by theGovernment of India for its ‘Beti Bachao BetiPadhao’ (Save the girl child, Educate the girlchild) national scheme as key communicationmaterial.

A month long campaign was organised across allthe 160 rural panchayats (local self-governancebodies) of Plan India’s programme areas to createmass awareness on the issue of girls’ rights.

• 1,400 grassroot service providers oriented onthe issue of declining child sex ratio. Serviceproviders oriented on using a portable flip bookfor their regular work. FLWs, ASHAs and ANMswere trained to sustain community leveleducation and implement sensitisation activitiesin the field. A tool for effective communicationhas been developed and further orientation ofFLWs was conducted.

Let Girls Be Born

• 13,860 youths oriented on the issue of genderdiscrimination and the importance of girlchildren. The youth were trained to becomecommunity advocates and to create a safespace for girls.

• Four GRCs were formed at the Panchayatlevel to create a platform for the youth tointeract among themselves and with thecommunity on gender issues. They are defined‘safe spaces’ that are integrated with schoolforums where activities such as debate, sportsand theatre are promoted. 300 peer educatorswere identified and trained as a part of GRCactivities.

The project focusses on capacity building of staff,community youth and PRI members on gender.The idea was to create an understanding amongthe youth and PRI so they can identify genderdiscriminatory practices in their community andaddress them through community action.

2015 marks the second phase of the project inthree geographical locations: Gairsain, Uttarkashiand Udaipur.

Engendered

• Refresher training of all frontline staff ongender issues was a regular part of the project.26 project staff across three PUs participated inthese trainings.
