The Context
Climate change has become a major environmental problem as well a social problem. The increasing change in the monsoon patterns and agricultural productivity have already forced large amount of population to search for alternatives among the fast urbanizing scenario. The policies of the State are explicitly favoring the Industries. GIM recognizes the lack of awareness on the issue among the general population that had resulted in total sensitivity towards environmental concerns.
The direct result of the irregularities in climate and growing private enterprises is making a series of discouraging impacts all over the country. The members of GIM identify problems such as,
• lack of rain that subsequently results in commercial use of agriculture land or selling it to private owners
• decreasing cattle wealth that could otherwise be a succor for the rural poor in worst conditions
• Increasing pollution in the rural areas due to unchecked licensing of small and medium industries like brick kilns etc
• Absence of adequate potable water
as serious issues that can we witnessed in the everyday life. This furthers the vicious cycle of poverty by denying employment, education and forced migration. Which in turn result in decreased quality of life, problems of health and dependency for food. GIM believes that, if the situation of ignorance goes unrestricted, it would question the very essence of Indian rural value of ‘self sustainability’. Power imbalance, viz. State Vs Village, Private Owners Vs Small land holder, Caste Hindus Vs Dalits, etc. play a very major role in making the rural population to accept the growing pressure of living and livelihood as a way of life.
What GIM intend to do
GIM believes capacity building and information dissemination as the first step towards breaking down the power relations. It believes that once people understand they are oppressed, it would be the first step that stirs up questions against oppression. This would subsequently lead to the path of alternatives and liberation. GIM puts forward the following objects to facilitate that stir,
• To make the people aware about the cause and effect of climate change in a global context
• To increase the knowledge and sensitivity of the rural population towards climate change in their immediate environment, how it impacts in their livelihood, everyday life, environment and future.
• Making community understand relationships between them, with others, with groups, with State and the resulting power imbalances that sustains their present situation
• Capacity building on climate awareness to the younger generation and school children
• To protect agricultural lands from being eaten into by private owners for commercial interests
• To form rural environment action groups at village level and federating them at the state level to facilitate community based actions towards environment friendly life

d). Brief description of the mission, vision & objectives of the HOPE
Mission of HOPE: Focus on rehabilitation and vocational training of disabled and mentally handicapped children, child victims of abuse, domestic violence, refugee children, children of sex workers, slum children and street children.
Vision of HOPE: Help for under-privileged kids, irrespective of race, religion, caste, or political persuasion in the fields of education, health and nutrition and sustainability. HOPE provides emergency aid and conducts campaigns against the most flagrant violations of Children’s rights.
Objectives of HOPE: 1) Education 2) Health and Nutrition 3) Sustainability 4) Micro-Enterprise Development (MED) through Income-Generation Skills/Training
Education
HOPE is committed to provide Indian children with the education they need to become productive members of the community. Education for children means access to more opportunities, better paying jobs and increased literacy rates in communities. HOPE raises community awareness about the importance of educating children and strengthening the capacities of children, parents, and teachers in order to maintain educational programs. In addition to encouraging school-based programs, HOPE works with community members and families to develop solutions to obstacles standing in the way of basic education for children like the lack of classroom facilities, lack of teachers, lack of school supplies and gender inequality.
Micro-Enterprise Development through Income-Generation Skills/Training for Parents
To create a long-term cycle of self-reliance, families need sustainable ways to generate income. Initiatives like Micro-Enterprise Development (MED) provide lasting solutions to help the "poorest of the poor" learn to provide for themselves and jump-start the economy of their community. HOPE trains its beneficiaries on “how to break the cycle of poverty”? MED programs encourage community members to work with HOPE to develop new marketable job skills. Community members purchase the materials they need to start and grow their income and reinvest back into their small businesses. The MED programs in India are all community based. This MED program is designed to provide training in micro-enterprise skills and credit loans for the Parents of the Kids and their communities. The majority of participants in HOPE’s MED program are females.
Health (HIV/AIDS) and Nutrition:
Investing in health and nutrition programs means better health for families and children long before they are born. Healthy children mean a healthy and sustainable workforce. Health and Nutrition programs run by HOPE are designed to reduce malnutrition and to strengthen children's bodies and their minds. HOPE focuses on prenatal and natal care, medical treatment for children, as well as HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Interestingly, HOPE concentrates on the at-risk kids of Sex-Workers in the 25 Major Towns of Guntur & Krishna. The Primary Focus of HOPE is to avert the kids of sex-workers turning into sex-workers by suggesting alternative source of employment for the sex workers and schooling opportunities for their kids.
Sustainability: Our experience in Andhra Pradesh, India has shown that our efforts are multiplied and are long lasting if we help others develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to reproduce and replicate the projects we help them start. It is more sustainable and lasting to teach, encourage, and train people to do things for themselves. If a community invests in a project physically, emotionally and economically, they are more likely to appreciate and value it. Having local perspective and knowledge of the community incorporated into the process means that it is more likely to be culturally appropriate. We help local communities in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh State, India to identify their needs, and then work with them to see what resources are available locally. As is often the case, there may be a lot of manpower in the communities we assist, but few materials and required skill sets. HOPE's approach is to allocate responsibility to the community for providing the land and labour, and we fund the materials.

2. HOPE’s Project: Shelter for Kids of Sex Workers of Andhra Pradesh State: HOPE Not-For-Profit Organization would like to submit its project proposal of Shelter-Home for the Kids of Sex Workers of Andhra Pradesh State for the kind consideration of STARS Foundation Awards,2011. The Duration of Project is 5 years
3. Project Location:
The Kids of the Sex-Workers of 25 Major Municipalities of the Districts of Guntur and Krishna
a). Provide general information on the area & community where the project will take place. With over a billion people, India is the world's largest democracy today. But more than 75% of the population lives in villages and depends on subsistence agriculture. India is basically an agrarian society having most of its citizens are illiterate and ignorant and are believers of Karma (Theory of Pre-Destination). However, it has been estimated that over 350 million people in India, live in "absolute poverty" (Below the Poverty Line) and that the country has the highest number of child laborers. HOPE therefore has been concentrating on such areas where instances of children dropping out of school because of poverty and being forced into Employment /Trafficking/ Prostitution are high. The Geographical jurisdiction of HOPE NFP is the two districts of Guntur and Krishna of the State of Andhra Pradesh in South India.
The Current Situation of the Project: The kids of the sex-workers are classified into boys and girls. The male-kids of these sex-workers end up as pimps after growing up. For girls, the outlook is even worse as they are likely to be beaten, drugged and sold to a brothel. And the female kids end up as sex-workers after growing up. After a survey of one long year 2009, HOPE has taken initiative of procuring the statistics of these sex-workers of all the 25 major municipalities of Guntur and Krishna Districts. Later HOPE has conducted a two-day workshop-seminar for the targeted sex-workers and the following action plan is proposed:
1) Free Admission of the Kids into State and Federal Government’s Orphanages or Boarding Homes: Segregation of these kids from their Sex-Worker-Mothers at the infancy stage of kindergarten and getting them admitted in boarding homes/orphanages sponsored by charities. Environment (Sexually-Perverted and Sexually-Polluted) plays a crucial role in the upbringing of a child. All the Participants have opined that it would do a world of good for the kids to stay away from their parents (Sex-Workers). This responsibility is ushered to the NGO/NFP of HOPE.
2) Monthly Visits: The Kids should not visit their sex-worker-parents until they finish their high-school education and instead the Parents will visit their kids once in a month.
3) Motivation of these Kids to resort to Vocational Training ASAP (As Soon As Possible) The Kids of Sex-Workers should be highly motivated to settle as early as possible in their lives so that the tendency ( to emulate their infamous sex-worker parents (prostitutes/gigolos) is ripped in the bud itself.
4) Facilitator & Confidential Mentor: HOPE should act as a Facilitator in a highly confidential manner to mediate between these kids and their erstwhile parents. In other words, HOPE should never reveal the true identity and the infamous profession of these sex-workers to their respective kids as it could result in grave consequences of social stigma, insults and hardships and the kids may have to face humiliating experience and may return to the family business of prostitution, all over again!!!
5) Concept of SSWK (Shelter for Sex-Worker Kids): During Schooling time, the kids reside in their respective boarding homes but during their vacation time the kids cannot and should not go back to the homes of their sex-worker-parents and so HOPE provides an alternative Shelter-Home. This Shelter provides rehabilitation for 250 Kids during the time of Vacation (Quarterly/Half-Yearly/Annually) for these Special Kids. Wherever possible, the children are reunited with their families. They are welcomed to the Shelter-Home. At the home they are given counseling, health care, food and clothing, picnics and recreational outings. To help them ease back into regular schooling, they are given an hour of informal education daily. They are also introduced to budgeting and saving and each child has a savings account opened for them. For the older children they offer vocational training and help with finding employment.
6) Medical Emergency: Apart from the Vacation Time, if these special kids get sick, and if their parents cannot attend to their medical emergency needs and ipso facto the obligation lies with the HOPE as a replacement or alternative for their parents and the kids shall be accompanied by the HOPE staff into the SSKW, with immediate effect. And after the recovery process (the medical expenses will be borne by their parents), the kids shall be sent be sent back to their Boarding Homes for the persuasion of their education.
HOPE has been working with committed and competent Staff over a period of 5 years, in "a partner in development" rather than the "donor provider approach", addressing the issues of children and poverty. Due to this partnership, 85% of children in the operational villages of Guntur and Krishna Districts have had access to formal and informal education systems and there has been a tangible impact among their families and the communities as well. More female students from our programs are now in colleges completing degrees in Science/Arts, Hotel Management (Culinary Arts) and Humanities, Teaching, Nursing, Lab-Technology, Neo-Natal and Critical Care Unit, Engineering and Information Technology.
