Navajeevan Tirunelveli
This project was executed in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu in India with the cooperation of Navajeevan, a local NGO. In the Pappakudy block of the Tirunelveli, a large amount of children are employed as child-labourers in the local tobacco industry. The aim of Navajeevan is to help eradicate the child labour in this region. The aim of this project was to provide the running costs for Navajeevan Tirunelveli for one year. Navajeevan runs various training and education
camps for the locals which help alleviate the problem in this region. With the funds they ran various programs like education for women’s self-help groups (SHG) which would in turn help in sustaining the family better than sending
their child to work. Various parent-teacher associations were also established to ensure that a better feedback was possible between the local villagers as well as the school authorities to ensure that children do not drop out of school.
For this project CJD has funded 11300 Euros with the help of ROSE. Below are some pictures from the PTA meetings and of the local children in the region attending school. More detailed cost break-down can be found in the
project proposal.
