Death
of parents due to Covid-19 deprived 65 children in Raichur District not only of
their presence but also leave them dependent on their relatives, Vimukti
supported by distributing food, education and hygienic kits:
The
Vimukti Charitable Trust® Pothnal has soothed the humanity by reaching out to
the 65 children, who had lost their Parents due to the CORONA VIRUS. When the
entire world was threatened by the COVID-19, nations were left in dilemma to
face this fearful pandemic with its fast spread all over the countries just to
close themselves in. While humans were frightened to come near the infected,
even they could not touch them- just a chaos to save oneself. The desperation
was such that all the migrated wage workers returned home either by a vehicle or
walked hundreds of miles together just to reach home; while the poorest of the
poor were dying without treatment just because they could not afford one. If
some of the parents have lost their children; others have lost their parents
bringing them the traumatic experiences of the greater loss to go nowhere.
Vimukti
Charitable Trust® Sponsorship programme aims at shaping a positive future for
children from the marginalised community who cannot afford the basic necessities
of life. While VIMUKTI reaches out to many children within the community; we
have identified a particularly vulnerable group: those children who have lost
one or both parents. Although many orphaned children are taken in by extended
families, the extra burden on family resources means that they are often
required to work, cutting short their childhood. The Vimukti sponsorship
programme provides their children with the best possible start to their life. In
an increasingly globalised world, quality education has become vital for
children to be able to progress and which would ensure an opportunity to at
least one child at a better life.
“All-powerful
God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, in the rich depths of your wisdom, you have
empowered us to produce great and beautiful works. Grant, we pray, that those
who use this vehicle may travel safely, with care for the safety of others.
Whether they travel for business or pleasure, let them always find Christ to be
the companion of the journey, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.”
After
drugs and arms, human trafficking is the third largest profitable industry in
the world, and young girls from the district of Raichur happen to be the worst
victims. Human trafficking, particularly that of underage adolescent girls
shipped out work as domestic helps is big cities has been decades-old phenomenon
that has not been addressed adequately. But recent reports indicate that a
second, more heinous level of exploitation is being perpetuated. Many of the
trafficked girls, according to reports, are impregnated and made to bear
children so that babies/children could be sold off. Lack of basic education,
traditional beliefs/practices and the girls having no say in the matter because
their socio- cultural up bring contribute to this state of affairs. The project
focuses on prevention and protection of children from exploitation providing
holistic education and raising community awareness. This project has addressed
the root causes of poverty leading to trafficking and abuse of these hapless
children youth and Women. The project seeks to ensure “education” from a
holistic perspective to bring 1257 vulnerable adolescents out of this
complicated web of poverty and misery to transform their lives with hope for a
decent and dignified future.
VIMUKTI,
Pothnal organized free health check-up camps in 14 surrounding villages of
Pothnal. After the brief survey at the village level, undernourished lactating
mothers’, women and children were made aware of the various benefits available
at the health centers. The need of special care at the pregnancy period, the
food intake, the precautions to be taken at the delivery time, etc., were
explained. Free health checkup was done along with the distribution of
nutritious calcium tablets and syrups etc. For about 135 pregnant and lactating
mothers, and children participated in the camps and benefited from these camps.
The
Vimukti Charitable Trust® Pothnal in collaboration with UNDP and Women Community
Cadres (Unnati Sakhis) organized enterprise training and Business Development
Assistance with Mentorship program at vimukti premises from 20th to 25th
September, 2021. Nearly forty selected and interested women were identified from
the project area for these five days of intensive training program and it was
given by the Mr. Krishna Sharma from Hyderabad. The main objective of this
training was to create a job opportunity for all and to reduce unemployment by
encouraging the creation of small businesses that will provide a living for
successful entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the programme has a community works
component that tackles social exclusion on two fronts at once, offering
unemployed people chance to gain valuable working experience and improve their
professional skills while providing services for those who are most at risk of
social exclusion. This training focused on a series of measures and activities
such as: Entrepreneurship training for developing of business skills, support in
the development of a business plan and coaching and mentorship support. Miss.
Monlisa ALC India, Sunil kumar coordinator ALC Raichur, Mrs. Girija, Mrs.
Jaysheela vimukti Coordinator, and Shashi Kumar witness the program and nearly
40 SHG members actively participated and benefited from these five days training
program.
Affection
and commitment towards social work is the best activity of life. We the Clara
Vihar Post Novitiate brothers, were privileged to be a part of social action
week at Vimukti Pothnal from 13th to 19th of September 2021. Our mission
exposure programme in Pothnal was animated and guided by Vimukti Director Fr.
Satish Fernandes. When we look into the past five days, we had a gradual and
progressive growth in our outlook towards social work. We were introduced to a
number of activities and initiatives that aimed at the betterment of children,
youth, women and adults. In our visit to Raichur, we could closely work with the
Child Line Programme coupled with some practical experiences in the field. We
were also blessed with the opportunity to visit District Child Protection Unit (DCPU)
and had a talk with National Child Labour Project (NCLP) Director, Manjunath
Reddy MSW. In short, our mission exposure programme opened our eyes towards the
various social issues such as child labour, child marriage, child trafficking,
Devadasi system, illiteracy, poverty, migration and so on. We were also
introduced to a number of schemes offered by the government for the upliftment
of the children, women and the poor. 
Mr.
Joseph (Yamanappa) 45 years old hails from Jeenor camp, Manvi Taluka, Raichur.
Being a tractor driver, he earned his living and lived happily with his wife and
three kids. One day a severe accident caused him to lose the ability to walk
forever. In spite borrowing in lakhs and spending on his treatment Joseph
remained paralyzed for life. Learning the above situation, the Vimukti
Charitable Trust® visited the family of Joseph immediately. Adding to their
present misery, the education of their children, the Vimukti also witnessed the
worst family’s living conditions in a dilapidated shed for past six years. When
this news was shared with the few generous donors it became a reality. Today,
through these inspired donors the Vimukti is able to provide a little decent
house to live on. Applauses to all the generous souls for becoming “Joseph” to
the family.
