SUMMARY:Swabhiman workshop on Healthy Eating and Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:Under the Swabhiman programme\, a three day workshop was conducted on Healthy Eating and Nutrition for young girls and women\, at three Swabhiman centres – AADHAR\, Sahyogita Samaj Vikas Sansthan and Health & Care Society. The workshop held from June 27-29\, 2013\, was intended to make the beneficiaries aware about the right eating habits during puberty\, menstruation\, pregnancy and lactation. \nA woman has not only her own\, but also her family’s health to look after. In underprivileged households\, due to lack of means\, education and awareness\, nutrition and health often take a back seat. Most mothers are happy if their children can get two square meals a day\, without bothering about its nutrition content. Their own health comes last\, which is unfortunate as women are the bearers of a future generation. \nThe workshop was an initiative to promote a health-seeking behaviour in underprivileged women so that their families and communities can develop a conscious awareness about the importance of health and nutrition. It was conducted by three trained resource persons – Sangeeta Raj\, Neeta Arora and Anita Papreja and attended by 123 beneficiaries. \nDiscussions were held on several issues vital to a woman’s health like diabetes mellitus\, hypertension during pregnancy\, teen pregnancy\, benefits of vegetarian diets\, importance of nutrition for adolescent girls\, healthy diet for a lactating mother and proper iron and calcium intake. \nThe discussions were followed by curious questions from the beneficiaries\, who after initial hesitation\, participated actively in the workshop. To assess their understanding\, group presentations were organized during which the women confidently explained the issues discussed during the workshop.

SUMMARY:Enhancing the scalability and sustainability of grassroots NGOs
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation organised a three-day capacity building programme\, Empowering Grassroots\, to enable and equip genuine grassroots NGOs to participate in the process of social change at the local level effectively\, by enhancing their scalability and sustainability. The event was conducted from July 10-12\, 2013\, under the guidance of subject experts\, trainers and international observers. \nThe grassroots NGOs in India have been doing remarkable work in different areas of social development. By engaging directly with the community\, these NGOs are able to identify and address the specific concerns of the people. But unfortunately such initiatives are unable to sustain themselves due to lack of support\, adequate communication channels and proper governance. \nSmile Foundation has built the capacities of 500 grassroots NGOs in the last two years under its Empowering Grassroots programme. Addressing the programme\, Mr. Vikram Singh Verma\, Chief Operating Officer\, Smile Foundation\, said\, “Smile Foundation sees itself not as a funding agency\, but as a national development organisation\, that not only supports but helps build capacities at the grassroots so that they eventually become self sustainable.” \nThe event held interactive sessions on key aspects like building local support for sustainable fundraising\, project management\, better fund utilisation\, need of proper communication and brand building\, meeting the expectations of donors\, communicating with the stakeholders\, leadership and the practice of good governance. By bringing together NGOs from all over the country\, the programme also provided them a common platform to share their experiences and challenges. \nTalking about the thought behind Empowering Grassroots\, Mr. Santanu Mishra\, Co Founder & Executive Trustee\, Smile Foundation\, said\, “As an organisation\, Smile Foundation has always aimed to identify\, handhold and build capacities of genuine grassroots NGOs to achieve accountability\, sustainability\, scalability and leadership. Empowering Grassroots is an extension of this effort in order to maximise reach and optimise returns by approaching and strengthening a large number of like-minded individuals and organisations globally.”
