Funding for charities
June 22nd, 2009Microfinance
June 17th, 2009Most micro and small businesses need only a small amount for starting and running a business. They usually borrow this amount from moneylenders and have to pay a very high interest rate, as a result of which they have to pay a large amount as interest every month. Microfinance institutions plug this gap by offering small amounts at very reasonable interest rates.
Self help
June 16th, 2009As part of SJSRY implementation, some good models of Micro Enterprise are being tried out in Kerala under DWCUA and USEP Programmes. To develop it further we aspire suggestions from persons of experience and expertise in the field. We are bringing a bird’s eye view of what we are trying to do. Much more studies are required for widening the horizons of knowledge in this area.
Poor women of the community mobilise their resource, pool it and use for taking up of various developmental activities. Spirit of ‘Self Help’ is the guiding principle in this process. Kudumbashree also undertakes a series of training programmes as part of capacity build up exercise of poor people.
Darkness can be removed only by bringing in light. Similarly, poverty can be eradicated only by bringing in prosperity. Micro enterprise development is considered as a launching vehicle to reach the destination. Financial and marketing assistance are ensured through the system.
Kudumbashree
May 23rd, 2009Kudumbashree is a mission formed for the total eradication of absolute poverty in 10 years through concerted community action under the leadership of Local Self Government, by facilitating organisation of the poor women for combining self help with demand-led convergence of available services and resources to tackle the multiple dimensions and manifestations of poverty holistically.
On the 17th of May 1998 Kerala witnessed a historical event-the inauguration of Kudumbashree, the prestigious project of the Government of Kerala by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Atal Behari Vajpayee at Malappuram. State Poverty Eradication Mission, Kudumbashree started its operation on the Ist of April 1999. It is a Society registered as under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act 1955.
Through Kudumbashree the convergence of ideas, resources and material and dovetailing of all antipoverty programmes of various departments of State as well as Central Government are envisaged. Centrally sponsored Urban Poverty Alleviation Programme, SJSRY was implemented in Kerala by Kudumbashree in place of State Urban Development Agency (SUDA) in other States. State level and District level monitoring is done by Kudumbashree and at Urban Local Body level planning and implementation is done by the UPA Cell under the leadership of Project Officer, Community Organisers and Volunteers.
