ASMITA

We follow direct intervention into the slums by setting up pregnant women’s Group and lactating women's groups The objective of the program was to reduce the health complications of pregnant and lactating mothers in the slums of Varanasi. We covered 25 major slums in Varanasi with awareness building, linkage with government programs, medical camps, medicines, check-ups, vaccinations, institutional deliveries, and proper nutrition. First accompany them into the PHCs and then ask them to on their own so that they will be empowered to do it on themselves.

Our team does survey of the slums old and newly formed and post identification we appoint an animator to interact with parents and organize the children. After a few days of interaction animators collect these children and start taking non-formal classes. On an average there are 20 children in each class. Once they are enabled to read and write, the children are admitted to the neighbouring school at the end of the year. The animator motivates the children to continue studies in the school.

Skill training such as tailoring, cooking, beautician, are being conducted for girls and women from the slums on regular basis. We do this to help girls to pick up some sort of skill to engage themselves while being at home and make an earning for themselves. ASMITA has been conducting tailoring classes free of cost for the past 15 years.

CHILDLINE 1098 is the National Helpline for children under the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Gov of India. For the past 15 years, ASMITA manages the project in the district of Varanasi. With its dedicated and long-serving staff, the organization attends to an average of 60-70 cases per month, providing round-the-clock care. So-far we rescued and rehabilitated a total of 9,742 children, as one of the best-performing units in all of Uttar Pradesh.
