SOWN A SEED AND DO IT FOR SERVICE OF HUMAN BEINGS

“…If you give yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness…”

"And wherever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to your he shall not loose his reward"

Harvest Center for Social Service (HCSS):

Child Care: HHO is surrounded by a number of Tribal and rural villages who are living in forests and distant villages. Most of them do not have basic housing, safe drinking water and nutrition food. They live in temporary huts, drink dirty and hard water, eat unhealthy food. Their children do not have access to education apart from not having food, safe drinking water and shelter.

Health Care Center: Medical care has become so expensive in India and not in the reach of common man. We would like to have a Health Care Center to take care of Children, Expectant and Nursing mothers and provide facilities for minor ailments. We need a Gynecologist, a Pediatrician and General Physician to help them. We would like to have a Health Care Center close to HHO so that people from the neighborhood and surrounding villages can come for basic health care.

Education: In our area we have various sections of communities such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and Minorities. In rural India particularly in our part of the country people are mostly scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and Economically Backward Classes. Their lively hood is either small agriculture and or agricultural labor. Their economic conditions are very poor, so they neglect education. That’s why literacy among these people is below 20 %, even children below 14 years are being used either for work or for labor. So we need support to establish schools and give continuing education to the poor and needy children.

Water: The tribal people do not have the protected or safe drinking water. They are taking the pit water, and hard water which is most polluted. Due to lack of safe drinking water also the health problems are increasing. So we need support to provide safe drinking water facilities to the people in needy villages.

Housing & Sanitation: Many people in our area do not have basic housing and toilet facility. They live in thatched huts and defecate in the open. This is so humiliating. We have a desire to provide simple housing and toilet facilities. Wherever family-toilets can not be provided, toilets could be built in a common place so that the community can make use of them. So we need support to construct houses to the homeless and provide good sanitation facilities.

Income-Generation Activities for men and women: There is a major problem of unemployment in our country. We would like to organize Vocational Training and provide tools relevant to the trade so that they can work and earn a living. For example-a young man trained in carpentry work will be given tools to work as a carpenter and a young woman trained to become a tailor will be given a sewing machine to earn a living. So we need support to give the vocational training to the unemployed people and grant to conduct income-generation activities.

For disabled people: In our country disabled people are facing so many problems. Their lives are depended on others. So we would like to strengthen the disabled group in economically and promote self-sufficiency and self-governance and up gradation of the skills in the disabled people and create awareness on social, economical and political activities. So we need support to give strength to the disable people.

Orphan children homes: In our areas, the male and female members of the family are wandering in the fields and in the forest for obtaining the food for their family. In this context the snakes, scorpions, forest animal are roaming in the said areas, as those are the vacant and dark lands. Eventually the parents are effecting for the insects and animal bites.

The main reason for the death of the parents was due to financial crisis only. Our area was located almost covered with rural and tribal villages only. In the rural and tribal villages most of the persons depends on the agricultural sector only. At present due to lack of the water resources, the agriculture sector was also not in the encouraging way. But for the maintenance of the family, they are habituating for the in debts. But they could not repay the same and eventually committing suicides.

Another reason for the death of the parents only is in the rural areas, there are no works to do, and hence they are migrating to the cities and other developed towns for the works. In this context, they are depending on the truckers and other goods vehicles for their transportation. Those are highly endangered transport and eventually they are loosing their lives by way of road accidents. Due to the high way line also the accident ratio is very much high. This is also one of the main reasons for the death of the parents and eventually their children become orphans.

So we need support to prepare them as good citizens of our nation and avoid them from becoming the prostitutes and anti social elements due to lack of love and affection.

Old aged homes: in our country, 60 plus age group those who no means and of support both economically and affectionately also the persons having extremely inadequate financial resources as those who are physically disabled with no relatives.

In our areas, the children are migrating towards cities for their employment leaving their parents alone. Now laborers also creep towards cities where the rapidly growing of Industries. Due to this migration in the villages, only old age people are living alone. No body is looking after them. Due to lack of love and affection, care they are depriving and loosing their mental stability. Now the old age people need Health care, Housing and income security needs. Establishing the old age home and providing the all the needs of the desired group can create such atmosphere.
