Spark MicroGrants seeks advocates for community-led projects

Spark MicroGrants (sparkmicrogrants.org) is a new initiative that capitalizes on the potential of local innovators by hosting contests in which community members propose their own solutions to social problems. After selecting a winning proposal, Spark provides seed funding in the form of a small "MicroGrant". Past competitions have focused on water & sanitation, promoting safe pregnancies, and food security.

Spark is seeking volunteers to be Advocates for current projects in Rwanda and Uganda, including:

- Karambe Village, Rwanda: The people of Karambe Village have to walk 3-5 kilometers before they reach a tap that is often dry. They are currently
designing a project to dig a well and build a water tank to improve access
to safe water for the over 500 village members.

- Wanteete Village, Uganda: Eighty women in Wanteete Village have come together to address their concerns about pre-primary education. Their children have to walk dangerous miles to over crowded classrooms and many do not attend any pre-primary education. The women are interested in starting a pre-primary program in their village.

Advocates are paired with the MicroGrant community of their choice and work remotely to support and promote their competition. Advocate responsibilities
include: helping to raise the money for the community project; reviewing and commenting on proposals written by community members; advertising and
promoting the grantee’s heroic work in the press. No prior work experience
is needed—only enthusiastic compassion! In addition to helping a
community in need solve its own problems you will learn about a pressing
issue for those living in extreme poverty, and get a ground-level view of
how they can be addressed.

The time commitment is approximately 2 hours per week for at least two months. Students can build class projects around MicroGrants. Although Advocates may have the chance to review grant submissions and discuss projects with experts in the field; Spark MicroGrants is really about enabling the community to define their own problem, design their own project and carry out the work for it.

Please email info@sparkmicrogrants.org or apply at sparkmicrogrants.org if interested.

Bisleri boss Ramesh Chauhan plots new rags-to-riches story

MUMBAI: Early this year, a bunch of unlikely ‘business associates’ trooped into the Andheri, Mumbai office of Bisleri International chairman, Ramesh Chauhan. As they cast nervous, furtive glances, it was evident they were uncomfortable in the classy confines of the headquarters. After all, they were more familiar with Mumbai’s streets that they scour for many hours daily. They were rag pickers. They had come to meet Mr Chauhan to review the progress of a ‘business alliance’ that the chairman-and-rag-picker combine had co-created a couple of years ago.

Mr Chauhan, the diminutive, yet feisty entrepreneur, had initiated this partnership to tackle an environmental hazard — over 3 lakh tonnes of PET containers are used and discarded every year. Polyethylene Terephthalate, popularly known as PET, is a non-biodegradable plastic used to package drinking water, carbonated drinks and juices.

Till recently, PET scrap was considered worthless even by rag pickers. Hardly anyone in India’s vibrant raddi market would buy it, leaving the unsightly garbage littered all over. So, Mr Chauhan stepped in and built a partnership with rag pickers, announced attractive prices for PET garbage, commissioned collection centres, purchased about 5000 kg every month, processed it and sold it to companies like Reliance Industries. His intervention birthed an entire PET recycling ecosystem that now collects about 1,200 tonnes of PET waste from Mumbai’s streets every day, according to industry estimates. Another 700 tonnes are collected from the rest of Maharashtra.

Mr Chauhan’s review meeting with the rag pickers that day was to take stock of how profitable the whole initiative was for them.

Rag pickers get other jobs

“Look,” says Mr Chauhan, “rag pickers are no invention by Bisleri. We only tapped the community to recycle PET scrap. And this is a business transaction — the focus is to make it a viable venture for the rag pickers.”

After the success of this pilot project, Mr Chauhan is now replicating it nationally. He has charged his army of 1,500 distributors and 2,300 odd sales staff across the country with the responsibility of seeding and setting up similar PET waste recycling ecosystems in their geographies.

They will do what Mr Chauhan did in Mumbai — establish such ecosystems, buy scrap from rag pickers through an elaborate distribution chain, identify users for the scrap, and gradually pull out once a self-sustaining cycle has kicked-in. Like Mr Chauhan does now, they too will continue to oversee this ecosystem ensuring it works smoothly.

The total organised bottled water market is estimated to be about `3,000 crore and is growing at 30% annually. Bisleri has a 60% market share. It’s a `10,000-crore market, including the unorganised sector.

“Of course, there are other competitors (who also generate PET waste). But as the largest corporate player, the responsibility rested with us,” says Mr Chauhan. Bisleri encourages rag pickers to pick up any PET bottles, including that of competitors.

PET waste can be recycled into carpets, car parts, fabrics, Fiberfil (for products like pillows and jackets), and also for roads where the recycled plastic is mixed with asphalt. The PET powder enhances the bonding ability of asphalt which strengthens the roads.

Stitching together a partnership with rag pickers wasn’t easy. They are a close-knit community that’s driven by trust and fear. Each rag picker has his turf marked out and no one ventures outside it without the leader’s permission. And if one of the members violates the unwritten code, the whole fraternity disowns him or her.

To begin with, a couple of Bisleri employees gingerly made contact with a few rag pickers in Dharavi. “We requested them to help us clean up the environment by working out a profitable model for them. We spent hours explaining everything,” says Ms Joyce Fernandes, a senior Bisleri executive closely associated with the entire project.

Mr Chauhan, who once built iconic brands like Goldspot, Thums Up, Limca and Maaza (he sold these to Coca-Cola in 1993) then roped in the Indian Education Society’s management and research centre’s student body called RHYTHM. It studied 56 rag pickers and 38 scrap dealers (bhangarwallas ) and found that the rag-picking community chose PVC waste over PET. The former was easier to recycle and re-mould. PET scrap, on the other hand, had no buyers.

Latest NGO News in India

Nanavati panel reserves order on summoning CMO officials

AHMEDABAD: The Nanavati-Mehta commission, which probes the 2002 riots, has kept its order reserved on summoning three CMO officials till September 13.

NGO Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM) has been requesting the probe panel for more than a year to summon chief minister Narendra Modi, former home minister Gordhan Zadaphia and Assembly speaker Ashok Bhatt, besides three secretaries to CM Tanmay Mehta, Sanjay Bhavsar and Om Prakash Singh and an IPS officer RJ Savani, who was DCP Zone V during riots.

During the hearings on Tuesday, JSM counsel Mukul Sinha submitted that the NGO would not, at present, press its demand regarding summoning of Modi and Bhatt, but argued that Zadaphia and Savani could be summoned for cross-examination on the basis of their telephonic conversations with the riots accused, who are being tried in special SIT courts.

The government pleader sought time to submit a reply to JSM's arguments regarding Zadaphia and Savani. Interestingly, Zadaphia has proposed SIT to make him a witness after his name surfaced in SIT's report submitted to the Supreme Court. When this issue was discussed, the judges commented that SIT's probe is of different nature, and the commission may not necessarily follow SIT's investigation.

The commission kept its decision on summoning the three CMO officials pending till September 13.

Meanwhile, on another application, filed by NGO - Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) in connection with summoning people on basis of phone call records, the state government has reiterated that the authenticity of CD produced by IPS officer Rahul Sharma is still not verified. Hence, any argument based on those records do not hold much water.

CJP's Teesta Setalvad had also demanded communication records from the police telephone exchange. The government has stated that these records are normally preserved for two years. All these records were destroyed, and they could not be furnished even to SIT.

NGO report calls for an end to finger test in rape cases

MUMBAI: Hitting out against the blatant indignity a rape victim faces during investigations, Human Rights Watch, an international NGO, has called for a ban against the degrading `finger test'. Retired Chief Justice of the Delhi HC, A P Shah, on Monday released a report which revealed that in almost all cases of rape, many Indian hospitals routinely subject a rape victim to the "unscientific and irrelevant'' finger test.

The report says that the test done by doctors is an "archaic practice'' to show that the woman is "habituated to sexual intercourse''. The opinion of the doctor usually finds its way into the defence arguments of an accused who brands the victim as a "loose woman'' and it plays a role in his acquittal, said Aruna Kashyap, addressing the media in the city.

Stating the "test has no relevance at all in a rape case'', Justice Shah said the judiciary was insensitive to human and women's rights.

Lawyer and activist Flavia Agnes said the "so called finger test that indicated the size of the hymenal orifice was mentioned in an outdated medical book of the 1920's which holds no relevance now''.

Aids, still, is a four-letter word

People living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) are struggling to take their rightful place at work and other spheres of life.

Incidents of schools shutting their doors to children of PLWHA parents, as happened in Belgaum recently show that the stigma attached to them has not been cleansed in the country despite myriad awareness campaigns.

People familiar with the situation say methods such as distributing pamphlets, hoardings, TV commercials to spread awareness work only to a limited extent.

Now, an NGO believes that the way ahead is peer counsellors.
For the past five years, Indian Network for People Living with HIV/AIDS (INP+) that operates in five states — Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur and Nagaland has been working towards identifying people living with HIV/Aids to strengthen its network and provide a strong support system for the needy.

INP+ has been working in collaboration with Engender Health System (an internationally active non-profit, working to provide quality sexual and reproductive healthcare) to train nearly 15,000 ‘peer educators’ and ‘peer counsellors’.

The role of these ‘trained’ educators and counsellors is to spread awareness and counsel patients and their families.
-----------------------------------------------------
Controversial policy on open spaces tweaked

MUMBAI: Amid criticism and fear from citizens' groups and greens over the revival of the controversial caretaker policy, the BMC has tweaked it to add fresh clauses to make it more "transparent and free of commercial and vested political interest".

The new changes will now be added to the existing policy, which allows private players to develop public open spaces and restrict entry to the public. The changes will be tabled before the civic chief this week.

The new guidelines, however, have failed to win over citizens' groups that have been campaigning to protect the city's greenery and open spaces. These groups are in favour of the BMC maintaining the ground without the involvement of private players.

"We have always been demanding to scrap the policy totally. The contention is not about transparency, it has always been about giving away of reserved public open space for commercial use. This is a do-or-die situation otherwise we all will lose our remaining open spaces to political and commercial interests," said co-convenor of Citispace, an NGO, Nayana Kathapalia.

The issue snowballed into a major controversy after the state and BMC allowed the Mumbai Cricket Association ( MCA) to continue construction activity on a Kandivli park allotted to it on caretaker basis. The BMC argued that allotment was made before the stay was announced.

But the BMC feels the changes it has made will go a long way in making the system more transparent. The two most important changes, officials said, were that preference would be given to citizens' groups like advanced locality managements while allotting open spaces. Secondly, "a sort of bidding process" would be put in place" to ensure only 'best proposals' were selected while giving out chunks of open spaces.

"The draft policy is ready and will be tabled this week before the civic chief," said a senior official. After it is approved, the revised policy will be tabled before the civic statutory committee for further approval. The policy will then be forwarded to the state with a request to vacate the stay as early as possible.

The caretaker policy allows for the allotment of public open space to private players on lease for maintenance; the policy further allows construction of amenities on 25% of the land.

Gujarat NGO study finds women members of panchayats are ill-treated

We've always known this, but here comes a study that will also confirm our fears.

As per a study conducted by NGO Navsarjan, elected women gram panchayat members from the marginalised and minority communities fight much more than just the elections.

According to the report, they also fight for acceptance and basic rights, rather unlike someone representing the masses.

The revelations were made at a tribunal organised for women activists and elected women panchayat members. The NGO released the study here on Sunday, which carried some shocking facts.

The study focused on the troubles faced by minority and marginalised women while competing at gram panchayat elections. It states that besides administrative indifference, many of them are not even fully aware of their rights.

The study says that these women, although elected and assertive, often battle indifference of government officials. It concludes that there is an urgent need for training and awareness on human rights, especially in rural pockets.

The panel before which the women presented their problems, consisted of Gagan Shetty, founder member of Janvikas, Binoy Acharya, founder member of Unnati, and Persis Jinwala, former president of Mahila Swaraj Abhiyan.

Acharya said that there is tremendous confusion about election procedures in Gujarat. A major drawback here, unlike the rest of the country, is that the state election commission is not independent. It works under the state government, and often faces governmental pressure.

He added that the Gujarat government does not have the infrastructure to train newly elected people. He also emphasised on the need to amend the laws related to the 'no-confidence motion', which often ruins the political careers of perfectly innocent panchayat members.

Ahmedabad NGO crusades for upholding judicial dignity in Sohrabuddin case

Giving a call to protect the dignity of the judiciary, a local NGO has called for a movement against allegations made by former home minister Amit Shah, who is presently in jail in connection with the fake encounter case of Sohrabuddin, against sitting judges of the apex court.

'Public Union for Civil Liberty' in association with Lok Andolan has decided to initiate mass campaign against allegations made, defaming the judges of the apex court, the judicial system and investigating agency.

The organisation has decided to write letters to the attorney general and chief justice of India addressing the issue of contempt of court at an individual level.

In its first public meeting organised in Paldi on Saturday they had invited Mukul Sinha, Ami Yagnik and MM Tirmizi to address the people and educate them about the issue.

Gen-Y unlocks the literacy code

BANGALORE: Poverty has many answers. Putting money into the hands of poor is one, so they can buy not just PDS rice, but healthy retail rice, a bar of chocolate and maybe ice-cream. Now, committed and passionate youngsters argue that love, good education and teaching are an equally powerful answer to poverty.

After working a solid eight hours a day, here are youngsters who make time for the less fortunate. They believe that of the many ways of helping them, one being money, the most noble way of doing it is teaching.

On the occasion of Literacy Day, The Times of India spoke to a few people who have been doing their little bit for literacy in their country.

Tanu Kulkarni, a student who started with the Teach India programme, now co-partners an NGO that adopted the school where she taught. From fixing a tap to painting classrooms and getting computers, the NGO takes care of all its necessities. The school's strength has now risen to 400 from 150, in two years' time.

How does she manage to do this? Tanu says, "It is all about prioritizing. I may have to miss my classes sometime, but I try to make it up. I don't get time to socialize or go for parties. It does not matter to me. I getter higher satisfaction from what I do."

It's about joy and fulfilment, the others agree. "We are four cousins who go out and teach. We realized that we need to do something for the poor and we knew it should not be monetary. We zeroed in on teaching," said Akshita Balachandran, who works for Thomson Reuters.

Ask them for their experiences and they could go on forever. "I had a student who used to steal things. Once he was caught stealing money from his teacher's pocket. After I heard about the incident, I made him sit on my lap and talked to him. He didn't have parents who could give him money. That day I learnt that we need to combine love with what we teach. Only then will the children be convinced," said Roopa Satish, an employee of Brady India Ltd.

Some others call it a learning experience. Naveen Shivapanchakshari, working with Oracle, gives tuitions for children in an orphanage every evening. "I found that I have lots of time after work. Teaching was a good option. It has been a great learning experience. I am learning to be patient to deal with kids. I have to do my own homework in Kannada as the children study in Kannada-medium schools. Those things that we tend to forget after learning in school are fresh in the mind," he said.

There are people who change their life course to follow this passion. Swetha Ramdas quit her well-paying job to follow her heart -- community work. Now, she is able to pursue it through Teach For India, where she got an opportunity to work as a teacher in a municipal school in Mumbai. All for the simple joys of life!

Gujarat villagers get training in disaster management

Managing any disaster in rural areas has always remained a challenge for administration.

A training programme for people in 18 villages and students in 12 schools of Talala and Maliya Hati was organised by an NGO - Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS) - to train them in rescue operations in case of earthquakes, cyclones, forest fire or any such natural calamity.

The programme focused on the strategy to be adopted to rescue people at the time of natural calamities till they get any outside assistance. The 15-month training programme, which started in July 2009, will end this month.

As part of the programme, a map was made with the help of the villagers which showed position of every house and information about people residing in it.

The rescue operation was planned giving priority to handicapped and unhealthy members and then women, children and others. The map showed the road by which one can reach the people and bring them to a safer place.

"In every village we formed a team of villagers which was further divided into four groups. Each group was given a special task which included providing medical facilities to giving first aid to the injured, besides search and rescue works," said Sameer Karia, project manager, FOCUS.

NGO pledges to help implementation of new laws

The US based National Democratic Institute (NDI) has pledged to support implementation of the Constitution.

Visiting Chairperson and former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said they are aware of the enormous task of implementing the new laws.

“We are aware of the great amount of work to implement the Constitution. We are eager and happy to help in whatever way we can,” said Albright when she paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Raila said the task ahead “requires a lot of commitment and sacrifices” and that Parliament has a critical role in passing consequential legislation.
“We need support and assistance. We require technical expertise in drafting new laws,” he said.

222 child miners in Meghalaya: Govt

Under pressure from the National Human Rights Commission, the Jaintia Hills district authorities in Meghalaya have found 222 children working in unscientific coal mines. The figure is way short of 70,000 child labourers a Meghalaya-based NGO had claimed were working in the hill state's coal mines
often referred to as "rat holes" for unscientific and life-threatening methods employed to extract coal.

"In a district inhabited by barely 2 lakh people, it is impossible for 70,000 children to work in coal mines here," said a senior district official from headquarters Jowai.

Of the 222 children identified, 153 were found to belong to local communities. The rest had come with their parents from Assam, Bihar, Nepal and Bangladesh.

Rat-hole mining - workers go down at least 25m to extract coal with hands and primitive tools - is prevalent in Lad Sutnga, Bapung, Lad Rymbai and Khliehriat areas of Jaintia Hills. Similar technique is used in mines in Shallang, Langrin and Borsora areas of West Khasi Hills district and Nangalbibra of South Garo Hills district.

"We have convened a high-level meeting in the next few days to discuss ways of rehabilitating the child miners," said Arindam Som, Meghalaya's commissioner-secretary of mining and geology.

NHRC had on August 13 asked the Meghalaya government to work on a package to help children working under hazardous conditions in coal mines.

But a rehab plan for the children is easier said than done as locals engage in mining according to their traditional land tenure system wherein the people own the mines, not the government.

Owing to this "technical problem", Meghalaya's mines are classified as cottage or small-scale mines not covered under the Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act.

Waste Ventures is a U.S. headquartered social hybrid start-up that incubates solid waste management companies owned and operated by waste pickers. We provide a blueprint to environmentally process the waste and generate a superior financial return in the process – achieving a triple bottom line.

Waste Pickers are those at the lowest rung of society that make a living by picking through garbage for recyclables throughout the developing world where municipal waste services fail. Unfortunately, waste pickers earn less than $2 per day and suffer from many health issues. Waste Ventures creates waste picker corporations and provides the corporation with a blueprint involving recycling, composting, and earning carbon emission reduction credits while increasing the profit margin 20x. Waste Ventures also provides technical assistance, raises capital, and provides market access to compost and carbon credit markets. In this manner, Waste Ventures creates better lives for waste pickers, reduces 80% of city waste, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and creates an eventual commercial rate of return for investors.

Waste Ventures has received seed funding and has a world-class board. The founder is a serial social entrepreneur that was formerly Associate Director at the Schwab Foundation/ World Economic Forum and was a consultant at Technoserve and the Bridgespan Group.

Waste Ventures has a large untapped market and leadership with a track record for execution and innovation. We are trailblazing a path as we create a new Base of Pyramid solid waste market. Those who appreciate leaving an indelible impact on a nascent organization, demand wearing multiple hats to keep your interest, and are looking to change the entire social entrepreneurship sector, tell us. Our style is audacious and impertinent: ‘Go Big Fast or Go Home’. We are building a meritocracy where responsibility is determined by competency, judgment, and attitude.

Role Description:
Waste Ventures seeks generalists that can play three roles:

Shakti Samuha is a non-governmental organisation established in 1996 to fight against trafficking and to establish the rights of trafficking survivors. Shakti Samuha believes that the trafficking survivors are capable of living independently, with dignity. The survivors need training and income generation support to set up small businesses and create employment. Most of the trafficking survivors can’t return to family due to discrimination and lack of livelihood options. Economic independency is critical in empowering them, as well as support reintegration with family and society.

Shakti Samuha is already providing income generation support to the survivors who want to start small businesses. Unfortunately this has produced very little benefit. The Livelihood advisor will work closely with the Marketing Officer of Shakti Samuha to conduct market research to explore suitable and sustainable vocational training to the survivors in the shelters and in the community. She will then facilitate and deliver training on how to set up, manage and promote small businesses. She will also be responsible for initiating small-scale livelihood activities in shelter homes. These activities will help the residents at the shelter to gain skills, engage in creative work and earn money. The Livelihood advisor will support other staff members in marketing of the products.
