Today
India is recognized globally for its human resources. This is something
that Amartya Sen Indian sociologist and Noble Prize winner, had foretold.
He stressed that "giving priority to the development of human resources"
is paramount for the future of the country. Indeed the future of the country
are the children, and it is for their service and well being that Holistic
child Development India(HCDI) came into being.
HCDI which is just over a decade old, is one of the largest Christian Ecumenical child-centred development organizations. We are in partnership with Kindernothilfe(KNH) a charitable organization from Germany.
The decade has been one of crystallizing our work as well as one of constant change. We have reached economically and socially disadvantage children through institutional approach, in some of the remotes corners of the country. This has brought education, vocational training and skill learning into their lives. Many beneficiaries of the residential care programmes have gone ahead to become responsible adults and useful members of society. The residential child care Projects are evaluated for effectiveness and to identify potential projects that will respond to the new challenges for the young at risk in India today.
While adjusting to the changing socio-political scenario in the country, HCDI evolved a new thrust in its Strategy plan of 1997-2001. This was an approach of non-institutional child-care community development. The aim was to reach a larger number of people. The paradigm shift to holistic community based projects proved successful. Although we had no models to look to, our conviction and trials were the mainstay.
The next five years were further challenging. In a phased manner the individual supports were decreased. Instead sponsorship to child focussed community development projects in tribal and rural areas with not less than 300 children was increased.
Children at high risk in urban areas are those in difficult, deprived and exploitative situations. We understand that this is a huge problem area. We have advocated community based programmes for them. Through our projects we have been ministering to people and families in the urban area with HIV/AIDS. To grapple with this pandemic in both urban and rural settings we have developed strategies into our ongoing community based projects. Our community based projects for the differently-abled touches the lives of needy children. Our vision is to evolve a community support system for them.
We are working on a new concept of training the rural/tribal youth, so they can become managers of the natural resources.
In its role as a humanitarian Child Focussed Development organization HCDI has risen to the occasion when natural calamities have shaken human lives. Whether it is the Tsunami, the Orissa cyclone, the floods, the earthquakes both in Gujarat and Kashmir, HCDI has provided succor to the affected communities irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion.
In the United Nations Millennium Development Goals children and their rights have become a very important issue. In keeping with this universal concern we have initiated ways to create a deeper awareness of the Rights of the Child and work towards social justice of children. HCDI has sought to be a potent agent of change with flexibility and innovation. It is the assurance of His continuous presence that keeps our spirits up
