One objective of Khandel light is that
of empowering the local inhabitants, thus avoiding the creation of
a culture of dependence.
Individuals
participate in meaningful work, such as road and land improvement,
building of water storage tanks and latrine building, thus contributing
to the cost but they must also earn the support provided by the Charity
through attendance at the monthly educational meetings. This model
helps to raise self-esteem locally, engendering a sense of pride
and participation in the raising of living standards while ensuring
long term development.
Communications between Nirman Sanstha and Khandel light are excellent;
conducted by letter and report, email, telephone and regular visits.
Every rupee spent is accounted for, all projects carried out are
monitored and work verified locally. Supporters know how their money
is spent and therefore feel a strong sense of involvement with the
Khandel community. Since the Charity is currently run by a committee
of volunteers, expenses are kept to a minimum. |
