STAY ALIVE PROGRAM IN THE TWENTY FIVE SCHOOLS IN KABERAMAIDO

Stay Alive Program has taken affirm stand in the twenty-five schools in Kaberamaido, especially being propelled by the Stay Alive theme.

Little did the kaberamaido community know that the Stay Alive Program is amoral revival program.

Couple of weeks back, Mr. Raymond  , a teacher  from one of the neighboring  School conducting Stay Alive lessons, approached me and acknowledged that  , the introduction of Stay Alive Program  in Kaberamaido school s has brought tremendous positive character change among the pupils;

The majority of children make their own decision, as coming to school is not now a task to the parents. Most of the children have taken this as apriority.

Here is okello, a pupil in kaberamaido township primary school in primary five, he used to dodge classes, going to school was hard, but    with the introduction of Stay Alive Program, Okello is among the first children at school

Morally , the children have reformed .The hide and seek game is no longer going on in schools, they have learnt more  about the will of being a person of great worth and deserve to live ,by keeping their bodies free from HIV / AIDS . Recently pupils of Gweton Primary School, voluntary decided to go for HIV / AIDS test in the neighboring clinic. They wanted to maintain their integrity of living with knowledge of their HIV/ AIDS status.

Here are pupils of GWETON PRIMARY SCHOOL HAVING   HIV /AIDS TEST.

Through Stay Alive Program, most of the pupils have learnt to accept responsibilities for their decisions and actions.

Also to live with integrity; to building care and Emotional health relationship. Paul is A stay live club pupil in Alwa Primary School, in kaberamaido and this is what he says about care and emotional relationship. I ‘m Paul and I will always help any body who deserve my help, whether at or out of school.

Not only is Stay Alive a moral upright program among the children, but it has taken a mile ahead to Economical aspect ; provision of food and money for the schools.

 Recently Gweton Primary school, under the stay alive program decided to go farming. They planted  tomatoes, which they  partly ate and sold .

Below are the nursery beds.

Stay Alive Program must be extended into kaberamaido communities, not only the school-going children but also to the vulnerable village children. With the passed civil, tribal wars and the high HIV/ AIDS infection in the area, this has left a big number of orphans. Stay Alive Program is a Program that brings healing and because of this, Trivani Foundation is determined to bring happiness and joy to this group of people in kaberamaido.

Here are group of orphans under the care of Asayos Wish Foundation Kaberamaido and in which Stay Alive Program has changed minds. Through stay alive lessons conducted in the orphanage, must of this children have changed morally, improved academically, socially and are focused to live along loving life by forgetting their past.

Income Generating Program in Isolated Meghauli, Nepal

A great change brought about by an income-generating program in isolated Meghauli, Nepal

Nepal’s in-country director, Chandra Adhikari has done it again!  Below, he shares a phenomenal update on work being done in underserved areas of rural Nepal.  Lives are being changed and progress is being made – thanks to the dedication of local leaders and sustainable partnerships.

Even being a part of the Chitwan district, Meghauli is one of the isolated villages of Nepal. Partnering with Trivani Foundation, CHOICE  Humanitarian approached this village in 2008.  Now, successful cow, buffalo and goat keeping projects are running in this area to uplift the economic level of the locals. People of this area need these daily wages as the main source of their every day livelihood. Many of them even don’t have a piece of land; they have small cottage where 6-10 people are struggling to survive together.

 Meet Jayasara Pariyar who is standing in-front of her small cottage. She has 6 members in her family and six of them are living in this small cottage which is very hard even to believe.  

CHOICE approached this village and found another partner Clinic Nepal, a local NGO, working hard and supporting the locals in different areas like health, education, sanitation and others. As we showed our proposal to Clinic Nepal, this NGO became ready to partner and support this project. With the donation that was donated by Clinic Nepal,we bought a 24,000 meter square plot of land where the landless locals can run the buffalo, cow and goat keeping, as well as vegetable farming businesses for a living. We constructed a shed for them so that they don’t need to spend money on this too.

Now a few more families are engaged in cow and goat keeping as well as vegetable farming. The business which they are doing now provides a better daily income than before.  In addition, the project is directly supporting the kids that are in the families to go to school and have education.    

When we bought the land it was not cultivated and was like an open play ground. It was totally dry and nothing was there. There was no water and the land was worthless. The cost of land was also less, since there were no options for the cultivation. Now, the price of the land hiked up so much.  We started the project at the right time; any later and it would have been hard for us even to dream this project because whatever amount we spent so far for this project would not have even been enough to by the land presently.
