Seeing What’s Possible | Making It Happen

Vision Builders is a U.S. based organization that carefully selects partners from around the world who are native to and living in their regions, and who have already started small humanitarian projects in the fields of health care, children’s education and job training for women. We work with these proven leaders to plan and fund next step expansion of their efforts to better meet the overwhelming needs of extremely impoverished communities.

Projects We Support:

Kutumb

“Kutumb” is the Hindi word for family. Kutumb was started in Varanasi in 2002 to attend to slum children and children abandoned at the railway station by giving them a sense of family and belonging. The Kutumb Shelter is home to 50 children rescued from the streets and railways platforms. Another 90 children receive primary education at “Kutumb Baalwadi” and 48 more attend public schools. Kutumb also provides vocational training and adult literacy to around 70 women in the community. (Kutumb)

 

NIPUN

“NIPUN” – a Hindi word, meaning ‘one who is skilled’ – is a Non Government Organization founded primarily to enhance quality of life of the poor and the vulnerable, by a group of socially conscious development workers in 2005. Children and youth are its target group, with physically and mentally challenged children and adults forming a priority category. Pre, Non-formal and Remedial Schools, Community Health Programmes, HIV/Aids and Promotion of Self-Help Groups forms its major strategies.

NIPUN has made a modest beginning with community organization, enhancing skills of children and youth and educational activities in the slum areas in West, South West, North West and South Delhi. The approach of the organisation is to organise and sensitize members of the community about their developmental needs and initiate them to address those needs, develop their capacities, utilize local wisdom, encourage community participation, apportion and delegate responsibilities, develop linkages, maintain follow up and feedback, with emphasis on treating family as the basic unit for development.  (Nipun)
