Project for sustainable development
Sankarapuram village, India.
Dates : 2009 – 2011 (2 years)
ContextSankarapuram is one of the poorest villages in southeastern India. Its 1,362 inhabitants are spread out among 315 households. Nearly one out of every three children is without formal schooling, due in large part to poverty. These children tend to be child workers as well as abandoned or neglected children… whose most fundamental rights are not respected. Composed essentially of a population issuing from the low castes, the village of Sankarapuram needs assistance to ensure its development. More than 71% of the adult population has no steady income. It is at the villagers’ demand that our organization has launched this project for promoting the sustainable and fair development of the village. |
