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.”

SUMMARY:Swabhiman programme launched in Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:Smile Foundation has taken a step forward in restoring the rightful position of women in society by taking its programme for empowerment of women and girls\, Swabhiman\, to Karnataka. \nThe programme was launched on July 12\, 2013 in Hegganahalli and Ramanna Badavane settlements in Bangalore. It is being supported by Shankara Infrastructure Materials Limited\, in association with DANI Development and Social Action. \nThe focus of the project is on the reproductive and sexual health of adolescent girls and young women. Due to illiteracy and lack of awareness about health and hygiene\, most young girls and women neglect important nutritional and sanitary requirements of the body\, resulting in health problems. \nCovering a population of 10\,000\, Smile Foundation aims to bring pride and dignity in the lives of these girls and women by enabling them to discover and explore their full potential in every sphere – be it home\, work place or community. \nThe Swabhiman centre was inaugurated by chief guest Sukumar Srinivas\, Managing Director\, Shankara Infrastructure Materials Limited. He addressed the session by applauding Smile Foundation and DANI Development and Social Action\, for empowering the underprivileged women. \nSwabhiman works on the ‘4-S Model’\, which is an acronym for four novel approaches – Seeking Healthcare as a Behaviour\, Support for Education\, Supporters in Men through Male Involvement\, and Sustaining the Change in Communities. The programme is specifically aimed at realisation of both individual and collective self-esteem and inner strength\, for marginalised and socially excluded women and adolescent girls\, through innovative community practices. \nSpeaking about the association\, Smita Kalappa\, National Director\, Child for Child programme\, said\, “Smile Foundation\, through Swabhiman programme\, identifies adolescent girls and women from the community and develops them into Change Agents\, who in turn actively contribute to the community development process. We are happy to open our first Swabhiman centre in Karnataka and hope this project will be a huge success\, changing lives of many women. Since its inception in the year 2005\, the programme has benefitted over 150\,000 girls and young women to be suitably prepared and oriented for a dignified and empowered future.”
