SELF HELP GOUPS IGNITE HOPE

 

THE SELF HELP GROUPS are the miracle groups. When they share their business stories and their real life experiences with the community, their entire community is blessed and motivated. 

Their stories are not limited just to a grocery store, or to raising goats.  It is a story of their economic and social transformation.

 

Says Narmada, a beneficiary -- "My family and I have suffered much poverty but no more. We have an opportunity now to work hard, use our skills and advance in life. AIM ASIA has ignited our hope to live better."

Narmada has started a veg store (pictured above) with the support of  AIM ASIA.

What a joy it is, indeed, to serve a people in need.  We  seek to deveope the abilities of these men and
women by forming  livelihood  groups and engaging them 
in economic activities that will benefit both them and their society.

We believe the people who become economically self-reliant  can be the productive members of the society.

WITH

SHRI. B. SHANKER LUKE

 

The State Minorities Commission has invited AIM ASIA to work in partnership for

the COVID-19 RELIEF WORK. We have launched helpline services at three centers:

Nacharam, Rangareddy distict; Bogaram, Medchal district; and Solipet, Yadadri

district. Travel passes are given to three of our vehicles by the

Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad which helps us

tranport relief material to different areas. Besides getting calls from

the groups of migrant workers, we also coordinate with the Hyderabad police to locate

the needy families and provide relief. 

 

 Telangana State Minister for Minority Welfare, Shri. Koppula Eshwar

participating in COVID-19 Relief Distribution of AIM ASIA at Rajarampally, Dt.

Jagitial in his own constituency. Following is his gracious note to

Bishop Joab Lohara.

 

As of  date (23/04/2020), we have helped over 5,000 needy people.  We want to

be able to continue this good work until the lockdown is lifted.

We provide each family with 10 kgs of good rice, 2 kgs of lentil, 1 kg. edible oil,

soap, sanitizers and masks. The needs are enormous, everywhere.

The situation is unprecedented.

We have so many heart breaking stories. Some people have nothing at all to eat.

A widow  at Baragadra broke into tears placing her helpless hands on the

relief supplies we gave. She and her two  little children had nothing for the day.  

Wish we could do the same for more people in desperation. 

Here is a glimpse into our relief services:

    WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 

 

  

We, at AIM ASIA, do not talk about caring.

We care destitute children who come in our way.

We do not just talk about helping. We help

them to the best of our ability. 

 

We do not just talk about building broken lives.  We provide every possible care so a destitute child may receive education and move in to the mainstream of the society.

The hostels run by AIM ASIA have been shaping the future of thousands of destitute children. Sabir, Sunil, Balamani, Pramila, Kavitha, Smarty, Smily and hoards of other children are university graduates today because of our care.

 

Sabir is a finance analyst after his MBA, Sunil is a multimedia professional, Balamani is an engineer and Pramila is a staff nurse after her Bachelor of Nursing. Many of our children have made a space for themselves in government and corporate job.   

Our facilities may be limited and our resources scanty, but that does not stop us from taking one more child so we can make a difference in his/her life.

Sanghamitra from an obscure village in Odisha came to Immanuel Business School to do her MBA. She did not speak English well but had a good academic record. We engaged special teachers to teach English.

Her parents could not afford to pay for her education. IBS gave her a scholarship that was sufficient to cover the cost of her tuition, room and board.

Special English classes, interaction with co-students, academic lessons, exposure to corporate business, soft skill training, etc. prepared students like Sanghamitra to be what they are today.

Sanghamitra graduated from IBS with an MBA in marketing and now has a decent job in the port city of Visakhapatnam.

The very same thing can happen to anyone who has a desire to pursue higher education at IBS.

If you are just looking for a degree to be able to do the functions of a job, do not choose IBS. But if you want to be an employable graduate and contribute to the success of your employer organization, then join IBS. We will put through a gateway to the busines world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 IT IS ME, KAVITHA ON THE TRIKE!

 

Kavitha, 40, crawls - she cannot walk. Polio struck her in her childhood and

made both her legs immobile. Her mother is a leprosy patient. There is

no one to take care of her. She visits our Care Center every month for a

suppy of free grocery. That is how  her daily needs are met.  

 

When she receives a bag of rice, she cannot carry it home.  

She lives near our College campus in Solipet. We provided her

a trike recently. She can now ride the trike with a load

of rice on it.

 

Life became a lot easier for Kavitha with the gift of a trike.

She does not have to crawl on the dust hurting

her feet and making her saree dirty.

 

 

WATERING THE THIRSTY VILLAGE

We receive requests from several villages every month where people do not have access to safe drinking water. Depending on our resources, we provide Tube Well or a Well with a motor.  The well in the picture was given at village Belar in Chhatisgarh.

It has been our joy to see the joy on people's faces!
