VIVEK CANADA’S
WORK WITH
RURAL VILLAGERS
Since 2006, to improve health, sanitation and education services, we have been working with villagers in remote and disadvantaged regions of Uttar Pradesh, India by encouraging their participation in rural development projects.
Join Vivek Canada in making a difference towards alleviating rural poverty. Select a program you would like to support and help us make a difference.
SOLAR ENERGY
Most villagers in the areas we work in have no access to electricity. By subsidizing 100 solar lamps we would be able to replace the smoke of kerosene lanterns with clean solar lights for village households. Clean and bright solar light would help improve the quality of life, advancement of education, health, and livelihood.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Your donation will go towards:
-
Providing trained teachers
-
Books and school supplies
-
1 laptop per school
-
Children's sports equipment for recreation and fitness.
BACKYARD POULTRY PROJECTS
To reduce poverty, developing a sustainable rural economy is imperative; particularly for women in the villages to become empowered with small projects by having regular cash flow. By providing interest free loans, 3 poultry cooperatives are in operation.
Your donation will go towards training 20 more women to set up their own backyard poultry project - a great opportunity for raising their standard of living. For a successful poultry project, skills in production, financing and marketing are
very important.
PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE
Mani Gularia is an extremely remote and rural village - without proper roads or public means of transportation. The nearest modern medical facility is more than 25 Km away.
Therefore by providing maternal, newborn and child health facilities to a population of about 10,000 people, we can eliminate preventable deaths amongst women, children and female newborns.
