Program Details

Context
The Narsinghpur community is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The area is often called "the heart of India" due to its central location. The climate is very pleasant except during the summer, when temperatures can climb upwards of 46℃ . Community members engage primarily in agriculture and livestock farming to earn a living. Most industries in the area are also agriculturally-oriented, such as those that focus on agricultural equipment and iron items. Other industries in the area include paper mills, leather goods manufacturing, and cement mills. ...
Challenges

Education
To ensure children can access and benefit from quality education, World Vision will assist the community to:

  • Educate community members about the importance of education for children, especially girls.
  • Provide support for functional literacy skills for women.
  • Ensure that children who dropped out of school receive opportunities to continue their education.
  • Establish child friendly spaces and early childhood education centres, and strengthen them with improved equipment and infrastructure.

Health
With the partnership of Canadian sponsors and the community, World Vision will work to:

  • Partner with community-based organizations and the Ministry of Health to conduct health education classes and appraisal for children.
  • Ensure that severely malnourished children receive rehabilitation and improved food.
  • Provide parents with nutrition training and support to improve family diet.
  • Promote preventive care measures, like immunization and breastfeeding.
  • Emphasize the importance of nutrition and care for girls, who are less valued and often overlooked according to the cultural precedent.
