Renovation the Dalit peoples damaged houses.

For every five people in this world, one  is without a home. Housing changes everything for a family and children living in poverty.  Inadequate Housing is one of the largest problems in the world today.  It is pervasive and overwhelming.  This approach to fighting poverty will have a direct effect on the efforts to reduce hunger, curb child marriage, empower women, reduce sickness, educate children and more.

It is nomenclature that the 25% of the District population referred as scheduled caste or scheduled tribes which is classified outside the caste hierarchy. Their participation in terms of labor in agricultural and construction level comes to 90% but their ownerships of House and property and their access to education and employment is a serious one. The main source of income of these Dalits is daily wage earning. Especially Dalit women are majority of landless labor force. The employment in the agricultural sector had gone down tremendously because of monsoon failure. This has forced them for migration to cities and towns for construction level and other menial labor work. One in four  Dalits  residents is living in poverty. Women and children are the fastest growing population experiencing homelessness, with 25% children living in poverty.   . Safety net programs are critical in mitigating the impact of poverty on women and families. The root causes of without shelter or homelessness are personal and systemic. For some people, it may be unemployment or the loss of savings during a time of illness, or an unplanned pregnancy. It could be a rent increase or a foreclosure or a condo conversion.

This project is community participatory programme. The community will play critical role in selection of beneficiaries, raw material purchase and monitoring through the members of Self Help Group (SHG). This SHG is primarily formed for motivating the poor to involve in small savings and credit among themselves and stop the people from getting money from private money lenders at very high interest rate we motivated the people to form in to S.H.G. and involve them to help themselves. They have been                                                  cultivated to involve in team work for common cause. We have formed 80 such groups and do lot of welfare activities. The dalits and tribal, who did not own any worth household articles at their huts, have     learnt saving practices after moving into their permanent houses and the it has   ultimately made them to be the proud owners of T.V. ceiling fan, cot, almirah, chairs    and tables and jewels on their houses.  The permanent houses have motivated them to look for the future optimistically. The life in tiny huts forced the dalits and tribal to   form a negative thinking that their  In life is doomed once for all and the their   children’s education can not bring any   change their life.  But the permanent houses  have transformed their pessimistic   attitudes and all the children   belonging to the families where we helped them to build houses,   are regularly attending  to the school now.

Community-led improvements in housing, housing infrastructure and the local environment can have significant benefits for children and young people living in poverty. Increased security, healthier living conditions and access to improved facilities lay the foundation for children to learn, develop and eventually contribute to community development efforts as well as generating income

Establish  of permanent Roof :

--------------------------------------------

The temporary thatched roof will be dismantled with the help of community participation. For each damaged  house a working group will be selected from the Self Help groups and this group of people will help them in rebuilding the structure. The fellow colleagues will get half of the original wages and help the beneficiaries to complete the house at low cost.
