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.
