Hi everyone,

I am posting information on AID. More details can be found at http://aidindia.org



Association for India's Development, Inc. (AID) is a voluntary non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable, equitable and just development in India, by working with grassroots organizations and movements in India. AID supports and initiates efforts in various interconnected spheres such as education, livelihoods, natural resources, health, women's empowerment and social justice.



Vision



The problems of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, dependency, disease, social inequalities, corruption and the dwindling of natural resources like land, forests and water reinforce one another. One problem leads to the other and feeds on another. Therefore the solutions to these problems must be interconnected, just like the problems themselves.



This interconnected nature of the problems neither starts nor stops with the people who are poor - it affects all of us. Our inability to tackle these problems, take the initiative, trust and work with others and overcome the fear to question authority or change life-styles is very much a part of this web of problems and has to be tackled .



Targets



To cover both the breadth of the country and the depth of the problems in a holistic manner through:



Several short-term projects geographically distributed throughout India.

A deeper long-term involvement in selected efforts, the goal being to reach every district or alternate district in India with one such focus effort.

Simultaneously measuring progress through the yard-sticks of self-reliance, people's involvement and volunteerism. Responding personally to people we meet as we undertake this challenge together.

No problem at all CAD. I pledged a part of my salary through my company as well. This is a small effort on my part. Immediate need of medicines and related stuff. So I am buying the things and sending a parcel.



Thanks

Thanks people for beginning to contribute.



One of the questions that has come in is, "Would this be too small?" No effort is too small. And these little drops count... all the time.

I am sending the funds received to AID for use in all the affected areas. My box of medicines is being sent to their coordination office in Chennai which is sending out teams to all the affected areas.

Thanks Sharjeel. If you have friends in Hyderabad who can help out, that would be great too. There's really a lot of work that needs to be done, and very few people to do it at this point in time.
