Reflections

2 decades concluded or 20 years’ experience

added, is difficult to say. Especially when we

are changing the narratives of Prayas with a

fresh energy, direction and collectiveness. Showcasing annual figures, graphs and

progress seems less inspiring, important is

what did we learn and what we want to do

now, basis, facts and so much experience.

Piling of data and coverage year after year will

make no sense unless we don’t reflect and

make amendments with changing time, needs

and circumstances.

We have learnt that internalization is the

foundation of outward performance.

Therefore in 2017-18, much focus was on

building team capabilities, hiring new talent,

analysing process/impact and thinking on

declining funding and increasing demand of

masses for education, health & employment

An indigenous 360-degree reflection process,

happiness index and performance appraisal

was conducted with all the team members of

Prayas, from volunteer to top manager, with

bottom up approach.

Towards program, this year we have wisely

added Sondva block in Alirajpur district and

new state, Rajasthan for microcredit, literacy

and Educational Leadership programs.

In terms of numbers of direct beneficiaries, we

have grown almost 51% from last year, from

40792 to 80282 in 2018, which includes

women, children and youth through

educational, literacy, health and economical

interventions.

It’s difficult to differentiate the shifting tracks of

Prayas leadership but an evident collective

consciousness, knowledge and expertise has

evolved out of 2 decade’s experience &

consistence in tribal districts of Gujarat and

MP, to solve educational, health and economic

development problems.

Our next mission is, Scale Up with Results,

Strategic Relationship & resource mobilization.

With an honest admission, we must recognize

that our partners – Childfund India, American

India Foundation, Tata Consultancy services,

Tata Motors Limited, Broadcom, AMCACS; and

financial institutions- Dena Bank, Mass Fin

Services, Ananya Finance & Banks, Milaap etc

are our true partners and without their

consistent support, we would not be able to

come so far.

Primary Education, Health and Economic

Empowerment will remain our thematic areas

of intervention to develop tribal population

with govt. & investment partnerships

Now we are looking forward to have

substantial support to work for common goal

and do disruptive changes in MP, Rajasthan

and Gujarat

With a happy note, we must appreciate

support of all the partner friends, stakeholders,

Board members, our team, MP, Rajasthan &

Gujarat govt., to make Prayas an Organization

for Sustainable Development.

Thanks

Bhadresh Rawal


Acknowledgement Our Partner Friends

We at Prayas, consider the partnership beyond the projects. For us it’s an investment

in long term relationship which lays down the foundation of trust, empathy and

serious understanding of the core business of two friends who have Common Purpose.

Purpose, which is Paramount and unaffected with agreements or disagreements and

gives us the courage to standby with each other in dignified manner during plentiful

or even in deficit of resources or other such things

Without the guidance of our Board Members and Hard work of team PRAYAS, it would

not have been possible to achieve the goal

With love, we appreciate our Partner Friends- American India Foundation, Childfund

India, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Motors Limited, AMACS and other Microfinance

partner- Milaap, Mass Financial Services for their consistent support and be together to

reach out to thousands of underprivileged individual families, women, children, youth

and Community People

ANANYA


“WHAT we are

doing and WHY we are doing”

Ignorance is not always

comfortable and to us it’s

disturbing when we hear that

in India, 25% population or

266mn people* cannot read

and write, 12mn children yet

to get into school, around

50% of women are anaemic

and around 23% of India’s

population is living below

poverty line…..it’s not good

We believe that to every

individual, 3 basic need must

be fulfilled- Health, Education

and Economic Independence.

Even if a single person in the

family, especially women is

financially stable and literate,

multiple dependent problem

around health, children

education, being a good

citizen, can be solved; and

family as a unit can contribute

in nation’s growth

In 2017-18 we

worked around…..

Alirajpur, MP

Total Population- 7.5 lacs, 98%

Population is tribal- Census 2011

India’s most illiterate and backward

District with 36% literacy rate

More than 50% primary schools

don’t have sufficient teachers

Approx. 50% population remain on

migration and lives in poverty

More than 50% children are

anaemic

Child marriage, superstitions,

addiction, drop out and extreme

low result in high school are severe

Kankuben earn 2x amount now

Kankuben was talking to other women in the area when I approached. As it was noon, her vegetable-sale was not at its peak. She had kept her vegetables inside

basket to prevent it from getting spoiled in the heat.

She spoke passionately about her 4 children - 2 sons and 2 daughters. Both daughters are married and sons go to work. Earlier with just her husband's

income from doing scrap business, she was not able to support the family. Even though she is in her 50s, she wanted to contribute to the household. For the

same, she started selling vegetables 2 years back. When she started, she didn't have a stand to keep vegetables on and earned around Rs 50 per day.

After getting the financial support from Prayas, she could bring more vegetables

from the nearby market every day. She also bought a side stand to display her vegetables. When she was asked to get a lorry so that she can move around neighbourhood, she said that due to old age she can't walk a lot and hence

doesn't want a lorry. Now she makes 100- 120 rupees per day and satisfied with her current sale.

She feels happy that her neighbours cook food with her vegetables and in

return she is able to help her family. With this additional income, she wants her sons to study a little more along with their jobs.

Sending her children to school was her dream as she could never go to school.

With her dreams coming close to reality, she happily said: "I want to thank the generous people who helped me double my income with this loan and now I

can send my children to school".

Financial support doubled her monthly income and enabled her to send children continue their education to lead a

dignified life ahead


Nayanaben showcasing bandhani work

As I entered the streets of Wadhwan near Surendernagar, Gujarat, I noticed the coloured water flowing in the water lines across the street. The town is famous of

bandhani cloth work and there were stores in almost every house selling bandhani cloth material.

One such wholesale cloth shop is that of Nayanaben. The shop is on the ground floor and they have a house on the first floor. The house has an open area to create

styles and mix colours on the white cloth material to give it the bandhani look. 6 people work in the small factory of sorts within the house.

These people first tie the white cloth in different patterns to give it a style. Then the cloth is dipped in coloured water - either single colour or multiple colours based on

the pattern. The cloth is left for 30 minutes to soak the colour, after which the pattern is opened and the clothes are hanged to dry out.

This unfinished cloth material is then sold to wholesale dealers who polish the cloth

and sell the bandhani work in Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Surat cities. The family makes saree, suits and dupattas and have been involved in this business since last

generation.

She tells that she gets paid Rs. 35 for a saree which is sold in metro cities for Rs. 1,500 - 2,500. Talking about the family, she tells that she has 1 daughter and 2 sons.

Daughter is married and the sons help in the bandhani business. Overall after paying the salary for 6 people, they are able to earn approx. Rs. 30,000 per month.

At the end, she thanks everyone who supported her. She tells that only with this loan they are able to buy the cloth material in bulk and make decent profits and

also saves some money for future.

A small loan removed a roadblock from her microbusiness of Bandhani

work. Now she and her son is earning well and also employed 6 other members who support in managing the whole business setup

Strong Januben Managing Dual Business

Januben is a perfect example of a person for whom age is just a number. She is more

cheerful and energetic than a woman half her age. She was excited to talk to me in

Hindi as that's her mother tongue. She hails from Madhya Pradesh (a state where

most people speak in Hindi) and has been living in Gujarat since her marriage almost

30 years ago

She has 4 kids (2 girls and 2 boys), all of whom are married now. All of them have

children and Januben enjoys her time working and playing with her grandchildren.

Both her daughters got married at an early age and didn't study much. Both of them

didn't study beyond class 5 but are now happily married. In fact, their husbands have

stable jobs and earn well, hence both the daughters only do house-work. The 2 boys,

their wives, and kids live together.

Januben's husband is no more and she loves spending time with her grandkids.

Talking about work she tells that she has been selling women accessories (bangles,

necklaces, lipsticks, bindi) for last 15 years. With the help of Milaap (through Prayas)

loans, she is able to buy the jewelry in bulk and at lower costs, hence earning more

profits by selling them in local markets. She earns almost Rs 7,000 per month with

this work.

She goes to the local markets and special areas where people sell jewelry with other

women in the neighborhood. Apart from this she also sells samosa at a stall just

outside her house. She sells this as a breakfast and mentions that by 11 am all

samosas are sold. She has been doing this for past 5 years. She started this because

she didn't have much to do and dislikes sitting free. Now she is earning Rs 8,000 per

month from the stall business as well.

As I bid farewell to this strong-willed woman, she mentions that she couldn't have

done all of this without loans. It's because of this help she now runs 2 successful

businesses.

Caselets

Small help saved adolescent to continue schooling Alirajpur district stands with lowest literacy rate in the country with 95% tribal population. Most of the children discontinue their education due to lack of resources, awareness, poverty and uninspiring environment of the surroundings. Vinod, a student hails from Khandivaav Street of Ringol village of Chandra Shekhar Azadnagar block of the district. Vinod and his farther Dhanna Nalwaya are engaged with the organization. He stays with his family that consists of parents, one brother and one sister. Ringol village is at the distance of approx. 18 kms from Bhabara block. The land is highly rocky and non-fertile and the area witness lack of water resources in whole district. Communities of the village migrate to neighboring state Gujarat for livelihood. Also lack of transportation is an issue as the region is situated on mountains. Vinod completed his primary education from nearby government school and also successfully completed his high school from Ladivariya School which is 8 kms from his street. Vinod currently appeared for his 12th class agriculture stream. He has been a bright student but due to family financial condition he didn’t get chance to go to good school in nearby areas. Vinod is core member of the village youth group and demonstrate leadership skills during ChildFund India activities and actively participates in the programmes. He shows interest in various activities and session like life skills, gender sensitization, and awareness on early marriage etc. He got financial aid from ChildFund India and therefore got admission in class 12th and could continue his educational and peripheral needs Vinod recalls that if he would not have received this support than today he might be engaged in labour work or would have migrated to other cities. Only by the aid provided by the organization, he could successfully reach to standard 12th. In spite of the school being at distance, he will either walk or travel by his bicycle to attend school.

Youth Leadership and School Change Harish Mavi, lives in Borkundiya in Chandra Shekhar Azad Nagar Block of Alirajpur District in Madhya Pradesh, along with his 3 siblings and parents. Harish’s father is farmer and he helps him in agriculture related activities and also pursuing class 10th education in the village During one of the visit of Prayas team member for LAMP activities, he found an opportunity to be part of the responsible educator and help other children of village to continue their primary education During monthly meeting and other activities, Harish used to take active participation and lead carefully listen what was shared by visiting team members. Though he is shy but he regularly attended all the meetings of youth group and seriously headed to resolve issues of his village schools. Once his youth group identified that village school had no main gate and many unwanted people enter in the school premises during nights and noon to spoil the surrounding and spread waste and damage toilets. His group also understood in the monthly meeting that many parents don’t send their children in school as there was no safety due to main gate Harish along with his team brought this concern to the SMC. SMC members comprehended its importance and along with Youth members’ entire process from proposal request to gate installation was successfully carried out. After this, Harish informed parents about main gate installation and convinced them to enroll 4 children in the Borkundiya School. Harish mentions that it was a challenging process to convince parents for enrolling their children in school even after gate installation. But finally he could convince few of them to send their children in school and took the responsibility for admission process. The youth group of villages also contributed in playground leveling. This whole incidence impacted his personal motivation and he finds a bigger

purpose of responsibility with Prayas and LAM program of being true Community

Educator.

Literate mother can easily pay school fee

This a story of Sunita Avdhesh kumar who is staying with her family in Vatva area

near GIDC in Ahmedabad. Sunita got joined in TCS supported CBFL program by one

of the Prerak (Teacher).

Sunita did not waste a moment and got herself enrolled in the program. She

manifests the significance of being literate from her routine grapples. She was

struggling in running her family expenses and paying school fees of her children, as

her husband spend half of the income for his alcoholic habits.

Considering the financial condition, Sunita was running vegetable lorry. But being

deprived of functional literacy, she could hardly grasp profit and loss concepts and

business tactics.

Sunita shares her experience of being felt ignorant when shopkeeper uses electric

weighing machine to sell vegetables in bulk to her.

Many a times she had paid more amount for lesser vegetables as she could hardly

argue on the figures of weighing machine.

Now Sunita can read, write and do small calculations after successfully completing

three months of Computer Based Functional Literacy (CBFL) classes. She could

witness the change in her understanding in day to day transactions. She can

understand measures of kgs, financial transactions and read sign boards.

Before she and her husband used to accumulate only rupees 9000 to 10,000 per

month, but now she alone earns not less than rupees 5,000 to 6,000 a month

The family income has now grown to rupees 13,000 to 14,000 per month. Along

with running the house smoothly, she is able to spend for her children’s school fees

and able to save a bit for future.

Sunitaben is much more confident now and set an example of improvisation in

business through CBFL program and convey her thanks to TCS for quick learning

opportunity

Sunitaben Vatva Ahmedabad

After literacy classes and knowing basic calculation, she saves more money from malpractices of wholesale vegetable vendor and doubled up her income to send her

children in school too.
