WHAT WE DO

India’s medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

NORTH EAST INDIA COMMISSION ON RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT (NEICORD)

World Renew is helping NEICORD carry out programs in urban Shillong and rural Patarkmah.

These programs include:

Health ~ In the Neicord health programs, communities receive services such as polio vaccination, and family planning clinics. As a result, community members have improved their health and are also becoming more willing to talk about certain taboo issues such as AIDS. Recently, a long-awaited weighing machine arrived. Women in the area have been happy to have their children weighed so that their growth and health can be monitored. They now feel empowered to act if their child isn’t growing appropriately.
Income Generation ~ This program is similar to that of Eficor as participants are encouraged to start savings groups and are trained in revolving loans, skills training, financial management training, book keeping training, and financial audits. In the past year, around 200 men and 200 women participated in this training.
Agriculture ~ This new 3 year project (second phase) is funded by the Food Resource Bank and is located in Patarkamh where World Renew also supports the community development work. This project is designed to help farmers in better rice and vegetable production.
