Program Details

Needs
Education
Schools in poor condition, a lack of teaching materials, child labour, and early marriage have led to high absenteeism and dropout rates. Children who are not engaged in their community are more vulnerable to risky behaviours such as drug taking. Women and children are often abused. Many women cannot read or write, and they feel powerless to change their children's lives.

Health
Overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions, poor housing, and the absence of basic facilities harm children's health. Nearly 60 per cent of children younger than 3 are underweight. Less than 5 per cent of people have access to safe drinking water, and fewer than a quarter of all homes have proper latrines. Malaria, pneumonia, and tuberculosis are prevalent.

Community Development
Families in the Lucknow project have a deep desire to improve health, education, and economic status—but a lack of leadership training and weak community structure further entrenches poverty. People are not equipped to lobby for the services and infrastructure that would improve their lives, and there are few effective ways to protect vulnerable families.
