From organizing SHG of the women to creating farmers group Aident has availed every possible opportunity to create a support base for sustainable livelihood. In almost every education programme skill development has been one of the main focuses of our programme. Motorcycle repairing, electrical work, binding, tailoring and stitching, plumbing, mobile repairing and several such skill sets are being part of our focus. We understand that providing backward and forward linkages to these groups are one of the major factors in sustainability of group and livelihood as well. So each and every skill development porgramme is designed to ensure that these linkages are not only established but also robust enough to last the course.
From the very inception we keep reminding ourselves that any social transformation cannot be realized without an active participation of the women and that is why not only we have been running programme for the empowerment of women through creating opportunities for sustainable livelihood but also ensuring that in each and every programme women are an important stakeholder. From planning phase to implementation or any dimension of the programme which directly concerns the women enjoys the prime position in our strategy. Making menstrual hygiene a prime concern in our all sanitation related porgramme is one such instance
If children are the future of the nation than prevalence of child labour is the biggest road block. In the last ten years Aident has been continuously working for eradication and rehabilitation of child labour through advocacy with the government system to implement the provisions of child labour without fail and creating enabling environment for the mainstreaming of child labour through education and skill development. We have had the opportunity of working with more than 10000 child labour in all these years with the satisfaction of making most of them mainstreamed in the formal education system and arming them with skill which would stand them in good while searching for a livelihood.
