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.

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 .

 

The importance of the relationship between housing and poverty, and its particular relevance to the situation of children, is not however always acknowledged in international development policy. Secure, good quality housing and its associated infrastructure (water, sanitation, drainage, electricity and waste disposal) is vital to people's wellbeing, but many poor people find that they do not have sufficient access to them. Similarly, relocation, forced eviction and the impact of natural disasters (all acute problems to poor families living in rudimentary facilities) particularly threaten children's welfare and development. For example, poor quality, insecure housing imposes enormous health and safety costs on its inhabitants. Children's educational opportunities are also severely restricted by a family's need to concentrate time and money on maintaining shelter and related infrastructure, often requiring children to take on basic domestic responsibilities and / or income-generating tasks from an early age. Addressing the housing and shelter needs that lie at the root of child poverty in rural areas is therefore vital to development.

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.
