Fast Track Learning Programme For Children In Difficult Situation

Howrah has one of the biggest settlement of scavenger colonies in West Bengal. The focus area of DITO is

to bring the school drop out, irregular school goers of the scavenger colony under fast track informal

education with the aim to mainstream the children into formal schools. As a pilot programme DITO will

cover 900 families consisting of a population of 6000 population. Moreover the mainstream students will

receive private tuition guidance from the volunteers of DITO on regular basis. This year DITO has aimed to

cover 100 children with the focus to mainstream atleast 40 children.

The Fast Track education programme to enhance the learning process of the children in short span of

time has collaborated with “War Child, Netherlands” and “TNO, Innovation for Life” and will be

introducing E- Learning programme. E Learning will prove that a viable alternative to traditional

education method exists. An alternative, that is empowering, flexible, innovative and cost effective. The

programme will begin with one subject, Mathematics covering the first 3 years of out of school,

technicalities of the game and the tablet.

We are very hopeful that community will enthusiastically embrace the project.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY 2 Medical Health

- Providing Health Care Facilities to the poor where assesibility to Medical services are remote.

Strategic Priority 2 Mobile Medical Unit

Accessibility, Affordability, Availability has been the primary focus for DITO Medical Projects. With this aim

in view, DITO has committed to reach to the unreached at the remotest corner of Howrah district . A well

equipped Medical van manned by specialist doctors, nurses, health attendants and having facilities for

pathological tests and ECG will ply 6 days a week at 6 locations in Howrah district to cater to the health

needs of the marginalised community .

WHY DOOR STEP SERVICE

The condition of the primary health centres in the peri urban regions of Howrah district are in dwindling

condition. In order to avail health care facilities the community has to travel a long distance to come to the

Howrah Government Hospital. 90% of the community lives on daily wage and belongs to unorganised labour

sector, which means to avail health service by traveling long distance is to eat on their day's income. As a

result the community refrains from availing the medical care and relies more on local quaks to address to

their health problems. This in the long run aggravates the problem as unprofessional health service brings

more ill-health within the society, thus reducing the productivity of the whole population. DITO's intervention

to break the vicious cycle of ill health by plying a state of art medical van at the proximity will address the

health issues of the population in a more effective way.

Mobile Medical Unit and its IMPACTWide Ranging Benefit

I. Improving the health seeking

behaviour of the marginalised

community.

II. Early detection of illness, thus

i m p r o v i n g t h e c h a n c e s o f

recovery.

III. Infor med knowledge of the

community about the illness.

IV. Reducing the chances of maternal

mortality and infant mortality by

providing regular RCH & MCH

services.

DITO has projected to reach

out 30,000 patients with 55,000 services by

2016- 17

STRATEGIC PRIORITY 3 Water & Sanitation

- Assesibility to potable, safe and WHO standard safe drinking water to the underserved slum dwellers

Strategic Priority 3 Water & Sanitation Programme THE CRISIS

I. Groundwater in one third of India’s 600 districts is not fit for drinking as the concentration of

fluoride, iron, salinity & arsenic exceeds tolerance levels; Surface water in most places has high

microbial contamination.

II. India ranks 120 out of 123 countries surveyed on the Safe Water Index .

III. 30% of Urban India and 90% of rural India still depend on untreated surface or ground water.

2/3rd of hospital beds filled with people suffering from water-borne diseases

IV. 450,000 lives claimed each year due to diarrhoea

V. 60 mn children annually affected by stunted growth due to unsafe water

VI. By 2020, more people would have died of unsafe drinking water than from HIV/AIDS

Water & Sanitation Programme and Its IMPACT

As a part of the pilot project DITO this year will install 7 Water Plants . 4 Water Plants will be

installed in the slum areas of Thane, Maharastra and the 3 Water Plants in West Bengal. DITO

targets to complete the project by July 2016. The plants will provide WHO standard or even better

drinking water to the slum dwellers at a bare minimum utility charge of INR 0.30 per litre. The

plants will cater to atlas 7 lakhs population in every year.

IMPACT

Safe drinking water is such a fundamental need that a lack of it has significant repercussions on other socio-economic indicators

I. Health and Nutrition: Overall well being and nutrition is impacted

II. Education: Less amount of absenteeism in school due to improved health condition

III. Employment: Commendable days of working in a year due to less occurrence of illness.

IV. House Hold savings: House hold savings is improved due to less amount of expenditure on

health ground.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY 4 Advocacy
