Annual Report 2015-2016 - Nav Shristi

1
Message from Secretary’s Desk
It is my great pleasure to release annual report of Nav Srishti for
year 2015-16. I sincerely thank my team, donors, media friends,
community people particularly women & children and like-minded
partners and friends.
We could not notice how the year passed. We were just busy in
delivering our assignments with passion and team spirit. We have
intensively benefitted 34299 people and overall reached more than
150000 persons.
Nav Srishti has expanded its work area and initiated some work with children in Ghaziabad, U.
P. The program mainly aims to work with children of construction labour up to the age of 12
years. We had to run a crèche for the children taking motherly care for their food, nurturing
and healthcare. We thought it was very difficult work and we may not get 100% success. The
teammates we selected for this project are so committed that they made it a great success.
They are offering love and unbiased care to the children. I was surprised when a mother shared that on
holiday children literally crying for going to centre. We are running similar project in Delhi at
Neb Sarai and Holambi Kalan covering around 400 children.
We often observed that many youths in our work area spoiling their life playing cards or
indulging in petty crime or having drugs / alcohol. Today due to our efforts most of them are
involved either in education, skill development courses, started their own ventures or have
joined some dignified job. Women folk in our working area have become aware and now they
do not tolerate any injustice with them silently. Even our vigilance groups, Mahila Panchayats,
SHGs and Child Protection Committees are so active that they have solved many cases with
their own efforts.
We believe that education is most important tool to change the life. Education is a key of
women empowerment. If a girl gets education and knowledge it will be a big weapon which she
can use in any untoward situation in her life. Keeping this in mind, we identified girls and
provided support through education centre, mainstreamed them enrolling at formal school or
NOS. Similarly women skill development is another focus area of the year and many girls and
women have been benefited with this program. It is great to see that almost 60% of them have
been engaged in income generating activities and becoming economically self-reliant. Our life-
skill program has made women aware about their rights and duties which help them sharpen
their perspective and determination.
Our emergency programs {Childline service, Women Helpline and Crisis Intervention Centre
(CIC)} work round the clock. I am glad to say that our counselors are working very hard. Many
women and children have been benefited through prompt response of our counselors.
Again I proudly thank to my team. Due to commitment of the team we are able to give our best
to society. I always say to my team “don’t bother for anything just performs your duty
honestly”. Our work will give good fragrance automatically.
I thank my Board and advisory members for their sincere trust and support to me.

We have been running Child Help-Line in Faridabad, Haryana since March 2014. The
programme is supported by “ChildLine India Foundation”. A team of seven full-time workers
along with one part-time worker and several volunteers is associated with the programme.
Programme covers entire district of Faridabad in Haryana. Faridabad is hub of industries and
large numbers of migrant labors are residing here. Most of them are living in very pathetic
condition having no basic facilities. A large number of children were also found living in
vulnerable conditions. Many children were working as child labor and engaged in domestic
work. Programme aims to support any child in need and we try our best to reach every needy
child. We have reached more than 7000 families (approximately 40000 people) during the year.
Goal
The programme has a goal to promote an atmosphere in the area so that our country moves
increasingly towards becoming a child-friendly nation, ensuring the rights and protection of
children.
Objectives
Major Objectives of the programme is to ensure the practice of the highest levels of child
protection standards in CHILDLINE (CIF and CHILDLINE partner organizations) to ensure a well-
defined and practiced reporting mechanism for child protection violations and promote time
bound conflict resolving system. It also has an objective to ensure assessment and management
of child protection risk in CHILDLINE spaces and to create consciousness and awareness about
child protection. We work for the protection of the rights of all children in general. But our
special focus is on all children in need of care and protection, especially the more vulnerable
sections, which include:
 To reach out to every child in need of care and protection in our work area by responding
to emergencies on designated phone number “1098”.
 Generate awareness about Childline number 1098 amongst communities and children

the children like food, education and CHILDLINE take care of their safety and prevent them
from various social illegal activities. Till now CHILDLINE gave this contribution for almost 800
children and helped them to live a dignified life. She also told that they are giving their best to

should try to help the children when they are in need. Everyone should understand a child
problem and when they see any child in problem they should call on 1098 which is a toll free
number. Childline Coordinator (Ms. Sunita) also requested the Aanganwadi workers and

living in his neighbourhood, who get severely beaten by their father. After getting
this information Childline Team contacted informer by phone. The team asked for
the girls’ father’s name and address. Informer explained their father’s name is
Mantoli and he is alcoholic. His wife also left him due to his habit of drinking and
beating, leaving her two girls behind aged 1.5 years and 4 years old. After drinking
alcohol he beats up both of them brutally. There is no one to help the girls. Please
come and save them.”

Team found the children sitting upstairs, their father was asleep. Both girls seemed
nervous. Mantoli’s neighbours told the police, that he in fact beats the kids every
day after drinking and added: “Please take him away, or else he will kill them.”

with them and put them in a shelter home. If Mantoli wanted to see his children, he
would have to come to Child Welfare Committee (CWC) office. After this the

Geeta (name changed); study not begging!
Chanda Lal (name changed) has a nuclear family. Her monthly income is Rs. 5000 /-. Geeta’s
mother is a hawker and also works as casual labour. When we started to work with Gosain
community, we realized that most of the children in the Nangloi working area were involved in
begging but they do not disclose it.
They came to the centre in dirty, torn clothes, usually bathed once a week and knew nothing
about the outside world and the locality where they were living right now, that there is
something like schools, why it is important to study, what is hygiene and so on. First the
parents didn`t send their children to School, they didn`t understand the importance of
education.
We told them that we would teach their children, train in tailoring which could help them to
earn more. When we got to know the girls, we gained their trust and slowly convinced them
that they have to study and go to school. In this way, we got more and more families to come
to our centre. We taught them about hygiene, the importance of bathing, their environment
and thus improved their lifestyle.
We realized that we could not forbid them to do begging, because the families needed this
money and if we tried to stop them, they wouldn`t come to the centre anymore. But we did
not give up the hope and kept on convincing their parents. Finally we got success.
Geeta’s has 2 sisters and 8 brothers. When she was 13 years old her father passed away. Her
brother decided to marry her and told her that she did not need to study but learn domestic
work. But she wanted to study further. Her family promised to her probable in-laws that Geeta
will not study after marriage; if she will continue her study after marriage they will take all
money of Ladli scheme.
Geeta said to her mother and brother that they people are greedy. They are demanding
money before marriage. She said to her family I want to complete my study. After that her
brother understood her problem and broke this engagement and told her that you complete
your study till you want. Today she is studying and her family makes no pressure for her
marriage.

Ganga filling the EWS form under 134A. Ganga’s name was listed for Faridabad Model School.
Raj Kumar went to Faridabad Model School for admission process, but Principal refused to
admit Ganga.
The very next day Nav-Srishti staff along with Raj Kumar went to Faridabad Model School to
know the reason of refusal. Than Principal of FMS (Faridabad Model School) told us that
Ganga’s name is not mentioned in their BPL card. Then we went to concerned authority at
Sector 12 and submitted a request letter to mention Ganga’s name in BPL card. When name
was mentioned in BPL card we again went to the FM School for Ganga’s admission then they
refused again. This time they asked us to bring the income certificate of the family.
Nav-Srishti team collected all the documents of Raj Kumar and approached concerned
authority and gave application for income certificate. when Raj Kumar got their income
certificate and again Raj Kumar went to the FM School and requested to the Principal for
Ganga’s admission but they continuously give an excuse to refuse the admission of Ganga and
they also said that Ganga would not be enrolled in this session and we will give admission to
the Ganga in the second session in year 2016. We will now just give tuition to her. A month
had passed since the movement. After that Raj Kumar came to us and he shared the entire

Domestic violence has become a serious challenge and need to be dealt strongly. It is
noteworthy that women have broken their silence and come forward seeking justice and
demanding action against their husband/family members. Women have shown courage to
come forward and complain against the injustice with them. Our counselors provide guidance

year’s children whose parents are both working and economically weak. The program is
supported by Delhi Social Welfare Board. This program was started from 1998 at Neb Sarai with
60 children under the age group of 1 to 6 years. Nav Srishti has 4 team members that lovingly
look after the children each day.
Besides day care, the crèche program promotes the holistic development of children by taking
care of their educational, recreational and nutritional needs. Regular meals along with milk are
served to children each day, and their growth in terms of height and weight is regularly
monitored. Health camps and immunization drives are also organized for children. The crèche
program also aims at providing a preschool training to children and carries out educational and
learning based activities in a playful format with the children. Recital of poems and numbers
and alphabet is also a daily activity, along with drawing, songs and dance. To effectively monitor
the progress of each child, a Parents Teacher Meeting is also organized every month.

The Program
The programme is aimed to look after the children of working mothers. We have run two
crèche centers at Ghaziabad Mohan Nagar and Raj Nagar under the programme. The
programme has benefitted children from weaker sections and helped working construction
labor parent’s women to go to their work without any worry. We have covered working
mother’s children between the age group of 0-12 years. We are running two crèches at
covering 170 children.
The programme is supported by Mobile Crèches. Under the program we are providing
supplementary nutrition, hygiene, healthcare and pre-education facility in safe environment.
We have also worked to motivate the parents of these children to send their children to crèche
regularly. We have educated these children in poem / storytelling, personal hygiene, joyful
learning through games, we have also involved these children in joyful games for boosting their
Knowledge and confidence. We provide safe and healthy environment to children. Mobile
Crèches organized 12 days staff training before beginning of the programme. They also
organized four day refresher training every month. It has been very helpful to enhance
capability and competency of the staff and ensures effectiveness of the programme.

We have also provided supplementary nutrition and health-care as well as a safe environment.
We have followed the menu for crèche as defined by Mobile Crèche. It includes Khichadi on
Monday, fruits on Tuesday, Daliya on
Wednesday, Daliya and chana on Thursday and
Khichadi on Friday. Food is cooked at our
centres and we are very particular about

ensure that nutrition values of the food are
maintained.
There are eight teachers and one helper to
look after the children. Crèche opens at
9.00am and runs till 5.00pm. Many of the
children belong to working mother who leave
them to crèche in the morning and take back in
the evening. During lunch time many mothers
visit centre to feed their small children.
Activities

and checks all the children. In case of any
health problem, we have provided proper
treatment to the needy child. We have
organized monthly meeting with parents of the
children and update them regarding the
progress of their children. We have also
organized fun activity with children. We have
also worked to make the parents aware on the
health, hygiene and nutrition of their children.
We have organized regular meetings with
parents of children and worked to make them

Rinki is Changed Now
Our program started on 23rd
December 2015 at Mohan Nagar. On the same day an old woman
brought a child to us. All children introduced themselves thereafter, but when we asked this
new girl, she did not say anything about herself. We then talked to old woman and understood
that she was the girl’s grandmother. Her grandmother told that Rinki (changed name) is three
years old and has lost her mother at the time of her birth. Her father goes to work in the
morning and comes home in the evening, which is why the girl’s grandmother takes care of her.
From this day until 13th
of January 2016 the girl came to our centre with us. For a long time she
neither talked to anyone nor did she listen to anybody’s talk. She also didn’t take part in any
activities, nor did she eat food at our centre. On 13th
of January 2016 the girl got fever, so she
should have rested for 15 to 20 days on sick leave, but her father began taking her to his
construction side. When we went to that camp for meeting received information about the girl,
as none of us was able to speak personally to her father.
We tried to make the girl’s grandmother understand, that she should send the girl to our
centre, but the grandmother could not understand what we said. We succeeded to convince
her father that it was not safe to take her to construction site. From 29th
of February 2016 she
has started to come to our centre every day without her grandmother. Now she takes her meal
at our centre and takes part in all activities like reading, dancing, singing learning rhymes etc.
she is very jolly and growing well both mentally and physically.

The Program
A new initiative named “Swavalamban” has been started with the support of Heal Foundation
(working as fund channelizing agency) &
United Ways Delhi (UWD) working as
monitoring agency from 1st
September 2015
in Sangam Vihar, South Delhi. Project has a
goal to empower the youths including women
in the backward community of Delhi through
skill development and proving livelihood
support. Main beneficiaries of the programme
were youths and women up to the age of 35
years from economically poor families of
Sangam Vihar who have limited livelihood
options. We have covered K, K-1, I, I-1, I-2, J-2 and F 2 blocks and Gupta Colony of Sangam Vihar
covering 40,000 persons.
Major activities
1. Dress Designing: 50 youths were
provided trainings on dress designing. 3
youths from this section were placed in
garment industry and 12 participants are
doing their own business.

Capacity Building Programs/Exposures
1. Habib Team provided one day training on
2.2.16 for the Beauty Culture Students.
The team served as a great morale
booster and increased the confidence of
the Beauty Culture students. The team
members gave a demo of the 9 layer
haircut and also gave some important tips
about hairstyles.
2. 3 Life Skill training programmes were being organized through professionals where 130
youth members participated. We have directly benefitted more than 250 youths/women.
20 years old Sandhya from K block has taken training in dress designing
under the project. She belongs to a very poor family. Her father works in a
leather factory and earns around 6000/ month. They are 3 siblings and
she is the youngest in the family. She has felt the crises of the family
closely and thus determined to be an earning member to support her
family. She attended training regularly and has keen interest in the
programme. After successfully completing the training she has started
her own business from her home. She is now earning around Rs. 3000/
month and is now trying to excel with her business
Major Challenges
The fund channelizing agency had some issues with the Ultimate Donor resulting in pre tenure
withdrawal of financial support. This left the project completely on our shoulders. This sudden
instability hampered the project a lot. It was very difficult for us to shut down the entire
program because we are committed to the society and couldn’t leave them in the middle.
We took this as a challenge and continued the entire project activities with our own resources.
Our courage paid back well in terms of the positive impact on the society and their great
support as well.
Impact of the Programme
54 youth participants were being placed after the programme. The programme has developed
demand in the community as parents are continuously sending their wards to the programme.

The program
The Swavalamban Evening Charitable health Clinic was launched on 12th
of September 2015
with aim of serving the marginalized and deprived people majorly women and children in
Sangam Vihar Community. This was initiated by Nav Srishti in collaboration with Heal
Foundation & United Ways of Delhi.
Location
Main beneficiaries of the programme were women and children from economically poor
families of Sangam Vihar who have limited livelihood options. We have covered K, K-1, I, I-1, I2,
J2 and F 2 blocks and Gupta Colony of Sangam Vihar covering 40,000 persons.
There are few Govt. Dispensaries who provide due health care services in Sangam Vihar are
opened till Pre –lunch period. Most of the women are working as maid servant or morning shift
duty. In morning they were out of from house and come back afternoon.
After wards there is an appalling situation as there are numerous unauthorized medical
practitioners(Quacks) in the area as the
community cannot access better health
services in the afternoon they resort to the
quacks therefore the quality of health services
is poor.
Need for Intervention
As we all know health has an inextricably
linked relationship with human beings. For
improved health conditions in any community
it is imperative that people have access to
affordable health care services, have
information about proper storage of water and have basic sanitation facilities in their
habitation. The aim of the program is to improve health & hygiene behaviours and practices
amongst the local inhabitants. The work area has inadequate public health services and poor
families were deprived of proper health services.
Diarrhoea, largely attributable to unsafe water and sanitation conditions, is the third leading
cause of deaths and accounts for 13% of under-five mortality across India. The top five disease
found in the area on our general OPD is upper respiratory infections, anaemia, fever & cough,
gastritis and hypertension.
Goal:
Program has a goal to promote the health and wellbeing of the women, girls, men and youth in
the community through evening clinics, health camps, awareness on institutional deliveries and
immunization.
Swavalamban Evening Charitable health Clinic

28
Our Approach:
 Run general OPD by qualified medical
practitioner, organize specialist
consultation and provide basic medicines
 Advise on pathological/x-ray tests and
physiotherapy and continued treatment in
specialized facility
 Forming health clubs at community level
 Improve hygiene behavior Focusing on
hygiene education among school children
 Capacity building & thematic workshops with community, local institutions & CBOs
 Networking with pathology labs and hospitals for referral services & further treatment
 Promote improved hygiene behavior among children and the community
Timing
The clinic is open on 6 days a week (except on Sundays and any Public Holiday) in Sangam Vihar
and time of functioning specialized consultation from 10.00am to 12.00 noon while evening
health clinic is open from 2pm to 7:30 PM (timings were revised as per demand of the services
and winter season)
Contribution
A token amount Rs. 20/-as patient registration was decided per consultation including
medicines dispensed at clinic Pharmacy. No charges on revisit for showing test reports within 2
days (patient has to get prescription slip along with test report)
Achievements
We have benefitted approximately 20000 patients and reached 5000 community people
through various programs. Program has been very helpful for the people from weaker sections
of the society who could not afford private health services.
Challenges
We started Health program at Sangam Vihar with support of Heal Foundation. It was ironical
Heal Foundation stopped the program when program was in full swing saying that CSR partner
has refused Heal foundation for further support. The program has launched September 2015
and was stopped by the end of March 2016.
Organization has decided not to stop the program as it has been appreciated by local
people and they have demanded to continue. It is also a need of the hour. We are
working on mobilizing resources for the program. Till than organization will run the
program with its own limited resources suspending some of its services.

29
The Programme
We have run Education Support programme with the support of “LIZ HELPS”. Around 1000
weaker families from Gosain Community (West district of Delhi) are main beneficiary under the
project. A team of three full-time and one part-time worker looks after the project.
Goal
Major goal of the programme is to prepare and motivate all Gosain children to obtain formal
education. Besides it aims to help weaker students, especially girls, through bridge classes and
also support the children who are attending school. We have planned to intensify the
educational support to Gosain community
Additionally the children who were not going to school anymore, but wanted to continue their
education were offered informal additional classes (non-formal-education). This was mainly for
young women who were forced to stop their schooling because they had to go for begging or
family planning for child marriage. To realize these plans, the following measures were taken-
 Renting an additional classroom
 Hiring an additional teacher in the "Bridge School"
 Hiring a teacher for the non-formal-education courses
 Planning and carrying through an "Awareness Program" for parents and others who are
not directly part of the project.
 One vocational class started for girls who were not willing for education any more.
Objectives
Deprived girls/women who are not going to school anymore, but want to take courses will be
offered informal additional classes (non-formal-education). These are mainly addressed to
young girls / women who were forced to stop their schooling because they were had to go
begging. Besides we will organise awareness program for parents and others who are not
directly part of the project. Programme aims to cover more than 200 families (approximately
1300 persons) from Gosain community.
Major Activities
Parents Meetings: - we have conducted 12 monthly meetings with the parents of those
students who come to us for receiving Non-Formal Education. We keep on discussing their
viewpoints of education.
We make them understand the importance of cleanliness and hygiene of children, the reasons
for regular hand washing and bathing and made it clear to them that their children´s health lies
in their own hands.
We discussed the activities in which the children are involved in Nav Srishti and got their
permissions to take the children out for day trips. We also act as advisors in any kind of
Education Support for Deprived Children

30
problems that come up in their day-to-day life. We help them in receiving various documents
like birth certificates, ID cards, Ration cards or Cast certificates.
We take the parents with the children to school for helping them in getting admission. Through
these meetings, gradually the parents´ mind-set changed and they stopped objecting to sending
the children to us because they have
developed a trust into us. Through this process,
the parents´ perspective has changed. Now,
they are also encouraging other parents to
send their children to us. Total 491 community
people participated in this meeting.
Children meetings: - During this period we
organised 12 children meetings with the
children involved with Liz Help Program in
Gosain community in Nangloi. In these
meetings we discussed on Health Hygiene, Education and some other activities like movie
screening, drawing competition, Dance competition, Antakshari program and many more
activities done in this period. Total children participant 452 (boys 75, girls 377).
Exposure Trips: - We held 3 exposure trips all around Delhi under Liz-Help Project, after three
months of studying we started to take the
children for tours around Delhi. We took them
to various tourist places in Delhi like the Zoo,

In every visit, we taught them about the
places´ meaning and history and in this way
increased their knowledge. Before, the children
used to think that they lived outside of Delhi
and had seen the city, which they had only
known from other people´s stories, as a diffuse
place full of rich, well dressed people which
was unreachable for them. They were
delighted to realize that beautiful places were
just half a hour´s bus drive away and open for
them to explore. Every month, they used to ask us when the next trip will be organized.

31
The parents of the children had never been to these places. Through our effort, the children got
to know about these places and shared their knowledge with their parents as well. The parents
were very happy that because of Nav Srishti and the Liz Project the children could see all these
places at all. Through these activities, they got very excited and it contributed a lot to their
mental development as well. They learned a lot about history and important places through
these trips. Total 166 children (27 boys and 139 girls) participated in these exposure trips.
1. Total 452 persons joined child-parents meetings.
2. We have successfully organized three exposure trips for 166 children (27 boys and 139 girls)
3. Thirty children (22 boys and 8 girls) joined
remedial classed in this duration. We have
enrolled 6 children (2 boys and 4 girls) in
school.
4. Total 52 girls joined bridge classes and 26
girls attended bridge classes regularly.
5. In this duration we have 19 girls in sewing
class who have completed their tailoring
diploma.
6. We reached more than 1200 people through
our intensive interventions
Major Challenges
It was very difficult to change children’s parent’s mind-set regarding girls’ education. They were
not agreeing to send their girls in school even to send their girls to Nav Srishti study centre. We
had to work hard to get desired result.
Aarti restarted her education
Aarti D/o Mamta lives at D-428, Nangloi with two sisters and one younger
brother. Aarti belongs to a poor family. Aarti’s father expired and Aarti’s mother
runs their family and she worked as a maid in households. Aarti has two younger
sisters and one younger brother. Aarti wants to study but due to money problem
of their family she did not go for study.
Aarti came to us with her mother and told us that she wants to study but the situation in the
house is not very good. Her father had expired and her mother worked as a maid, so the income
was low and the tension high. We told her that we would teach her for free and also got her
enrolled into a sewing class. We arranged1 hour for her study and two hour for her sewing class.
She works very dedicated in both the classes. She had come in 2012 and we got her ready for
the 10th
standard examination. Now she is pursuing 10th
from open school. She is also financially
supporting her family through sewing. Aarti and her mother came to us and conveyed their
hearty thanks to Nav Srishti and LIZ-Help Project.

47
Total 20 sessions on wash have been done in the Government Schools and 1000 students
sensitized during these sessions. Girls wanted to know about the puberty and menstruation
cycle so special session also organized and clear all doubt and misconception. In terms of
waterborne sewage the containment may be effective for the individual and possibly also the
community, but health effects and environmental damage may be seen far downstream of the
original source, hence affecting community. The main impact happens that the number of
attendance has been increased.
Major capacity building programmes
In the month of April 2015, a visit has been organized for observing the impact of AFHC In to
the Nainital. Under the ARSH program, Udaan NGO is running the AFCC in Uttarakhand.

the issues, improve communication & problem solving skills. Capacity building program,
emphasis to the healthcare provider and provide a platform where they can help the vulnerable
adolescents. Capacity Building program focused on health and social issues and increased
connectedness between adolescents and Health care provider. Trained peer educator will

Total reach (Direct reach).
We reached out 14010 community adolescents (5039 Adolescent Boys & 8971 Adolescent Girls)
through various activities under YHP. Along with this 2964 community people (745 Community
Male & 2219 Community Female) and 61 Government stakeholders (29 Male & 32 Female)
reach out Mass awareness activity meeting etc.
Major Challenges
Parents ask their children to bring the substance. It’s quite difficult for us to create the
awareness among the parents especially male parents. Easy availability of drugs and alcohol
make the problem more dangerous.
Only one health centre is functional at Holambi Kalan (Phase I & II). A good number of patients
daily visit there. Due to high number of patients, doctor gives insufficient time to the
adolescents.
There is no rehabilitation centre nearer to Holambi Kalan. Nearest rehabilitation centre is about
11km away. It creates lots of challenges for us. Person who wants to quit the habit has no other
option neither they have the knowledge of how to tackle the side effects of de addiction.
There is no lady doctor appointed at health centre. Only one male medical officer is providing
the services. Daily a number of patients visit in the health centres. Doctor finds it difficult to
deal with such a high number of patients. YHP staff and CSG are doing advocacy for
appointment of one female doctor but not succeeded yet.

Vinod (name changed) gets new wings
Age: - 20 Years, Father’s Name: - Ram Sharan
I joined the YHP in two year ago (2014). Right now I am persuading B. A. 1st
year and
also provide the home tuition. Before joining the YHP, I mostly killed the time with my
friends. My friends tease the girls during the recess as well as full recess. It’s our daily
routine habits to killing the time outside the school and teasing the girls.
One day YHP staff interact us when we were busy to teasing the girls. They shared
about the YHP and also told us why we should join the YHP instead to killing the time.
Firstly I ignored but then they interact with us on daily basis I went there. Here I
observed that many adolescent like me of my community were busy in art & craft
activity some are doing work on computer and some are reading the book. I personally
observed that this type of space needs adolescents where they can access the
knowledge and can share the query.
YHP staff introduced me with other adolescent and that day I participated in a session
of life skill education. Through the session I came to know that how it’s crucial this
time and why we need to think about our carrier. I also participated in the Carrier
Counselling Mela where YHP staff shared with me key information regarding my
carrier.
Gradually I started spending more time in the HIC rather than killing the time with my
friend. If i had continuously spent time with my friends it could be possible that my life
was spoiled. I was happy to see my organic growth and I got the good mark in 12th
class. Now I also give the home tuition. Thanks to YHP for providing the platform.
It’s never late to start! You just need to
take the step and journey will
begin……..

The Program
Nav Srishti is running a crèche program for children whose parents are migrated labours, both
working and economically weak. This program has started in September 2015 in Neb Sarai and
presently 300 children aged 1-6 years attend crèches regularly. The program is run and
organized with the support of Plan International and Good Year CSR.
Our crèche program is run with joy and full enthusiasm. It is like a little garden and the children
are its flowers. Some of the children
come in the morning with a smile alrea
dy on their faces, others come in
crying. But our team makes sure that
at the end of everyday all of our
children go home happy and already
looking forward to the next day.
In the morning we start our day with a
prayer and different exercises. After
this we give out breakfast, which features milk, biscuits and fruit.
After breakfast different activities take place in the groups. For example there are different
types of games both indoors and outdoors, storytelling, rhymes, songs, dancing and much
more.
At 12 o’clock the children are given their
daily lunch. We put a lot of thought into
our children’s nutrition, so every day we
serve different dishes like Khichadi, Halwa,
Kheer, Egg etc.
The children who cannot eat on their own
yet are being spoon fed by our staff
members. The older children learn how to
eat properly with a spoon.
At 12.30pm all of our crèche children take
a nap to regain some strength for the
afternoon program. The children are usually woken up at 2pm and then get freshened up. This
means the staff washes their faces, combs their hair, changes clothes/ diapers and takes care
when the children go to toilet.

Glad to Share
Women are getting aware and they take this facility as their opportunity. In one
Government hospital in our work area has denied to deliver baby saying it was a high
risk case. Hospital referred the case to another hospital but denied to provide
ambulance and referring slip. The women called MHL and complained “it is violation
of rights of safe and dignified delivery of a child. Hospital can’t just leave us as it is
risky for my life as well as of my baby.”
Our counsellor immediately reached hospital and called Medical Superintendent (MS)
and discussed the matter. The hospital immediately provided an ambulance and one
attendant has been arranged for her and also provided referral slip. The increased
awareness about MHL has empowered the women and if they find any denial of their
right they take helpline as a tool for their support.

The Program
At Nav Srishti, enabling self-reliance is the belief that permeates everything we do. Our aim is
to impart education and training to children, youth and women so that they can live a self-
reliant life of dignity and respect. With this mind, we have set up several vocational training
programs across all our projects. These programs provide marketable skills to the beneficiaries
that can help them get competitive jobs or even they can start up their own enterprise.
“Swabhimaan’ is one of such initiatives undertaken in one of the Delhi’s largest unauthorized
colony namely Sangam Vihar, South Delhi. We have covered K, K-1, I, I-1, I-2, J-2 and F 2 blocks

hand towards supporting 180 young girls and women from weaker sections of the society
residing in Sangam Vihar under poor living conditions. Skill Development and Education project
“Swabhimaan” is basically for the Girls and women struggling for completion of their education
and earn a livelihood. Many a times youth in slums face problems like poverty, lack of interest
in education, lack of guidance, household responsibilities which leads to illiteracy, limited
education or lack of awareness. The youth could not be enrolled in school either due to their
over age for school. So after a need assessment a vocational training program was started to
provide a second chance for education. This gives them recognition and skills for their
livelihood. At Present, We have enrolled 70 Women in Tailoring and Beautician courses as well
as 40 Girls in Bridge education program under this Project.
