Project Identification
Project Identification
When potential new areas are assessed, SLAHDA based on the
baseline survey will give due considerations to the following facts:
The level of poverty·
The gender issue and child orientation Level of alcohol and
drug related problems Existing intervention, network and knowledge in the
particular area
Areas where preferable more than one community is
represented and anethnical balance in the total SLAHDA involvement Effective
utilisation of our resources.
Focal Points
The need to achieve the objectives and goals is the ultimate
aim of any organisation and in order to do so, some of the activities may need
extra or more attention. Also every
organisation has its own interconnected obligations towards its donors. Hence, the emphasis on some of the selected
activities or programme components become vital and becomes the focal point of
that organisation.
Environment
Making this world a better place for everyone to live in, is
the cry of the day since environmental degradation is threatening even the mere
existence of life on earth.
Hence SLAHDA’s intervention must have an environmental
orientation, and each activity must be assessed to ensure the environmental
sustainability. Activities, which have
an environmental profile, will be given priority.
Gender - Focussing on Women’s’ participation
The family as a unit needs to be educated in holding
responsible for their tasks in relation to the role they are expected to play.
Among the poor and the marginalised, the women are the most deprived and
further their potentials are under valued or else ignored. Te war too has created women-headed families
and the need to work with the women is the need of the day
Hence SLAHDA feels that building up a society is to pay
equal attention to everybody while focussing our attention on the vulnerable
sector the women and children.
Child orientation and advocacy
Good living conditions for children have a special
priority. Children are often innocent
victims of poverty. There is a need for
special attention on their situation to ensure basic rights to nutrition,
education, health and social security.
The objective of the Child Unit has been spelt out as the ‘Total
personality development of the child’ and SLAHDA has taken up Pre-school
education seriously, since pre-school education stamps an impact on the child’s
life in the future. In addition to
locally based activities, SLAHDA will at a national level advocate children’s
rights.
SLAHDA Activities
Activities – An Integrated Approach
SLAHDA believes in an integrated development model. The profile and activities in each project is decided upon in close co-operation with the partners. The activities are always inter connected and as a total will contribute to the objectives.
The areas of involvement can be divided as follows:
·
Organisational development
·
Thrift and credit
·
Income generation
·
Health
·
Housing, water and sanitation
·
Education
·
Temperance
·
Environment and resource
maintenance
· Cultural activities.
SLAHDA’s role as a catalyst is to ask the
right question for people to find their own sustainable solutions rather than
providing answers and advice all the time.
SLAHDA - Strategies
