Pudiyador
To empower underprivileged sections of Indian society, primarily through an education program that fosters intellectual, social and cultural development of the children.In addition, we seek to provide the families with means to improve their social, economic and personal well-being through programs that include health care, substance abuse awareness, adult literacy classes, vocational training, and self-improvement workshops.
Cradle program
To give young parents a strong understanding of child development and the skills to raise happy, healthy babies. General idea: An 8-10 week long dedicated Pudiyador program for expectant and new mothers twice a year that covers topics like basic hygiene, basic health, nutrition, basic first aid, how to communicate with babies, how to stimulate them intellectually, child behavior.So this is the actual idea, we want to know what exactly you people are going to do with your research work on this. As part of Pudiyador policy, we will be unable to share any personal information of our community people like sharing photos or recording information without their permission.As requested I have answered for the requirements below, we actually working on 4 Zones, here I have mentioned only aboutBesant Nagar Urur Olcott kuppam community (Find below a short note about the community)
Urur Kuppam and Olcott Kuppam
These communities predominantly consist of fisherfolk, house maids, street vendors and garbage pickers. Children from hereare arguably the most at-risk of all Pudiyador children, owing to their impoverishment and their proximity to the ocean and associated nefarious activities. This community also sees a lot of “street children”, children that might or might not haveparents and who live and sleep on the streets.

insight from Stake holder Interview
What is the basic education of women in the community?
Most of the women are not educated. 5% of women only educated.
How frequently can you conduct workshops?
As I mentioned above we plan to conduct 8-10 weeks program / workshop for Cradle. This could be weekly once or maximum twice. These will be in batches of 10 to 20 women.
Do you believe women would turn up to attend this workshops if conducted?
Just to give a background - A year back, we collected the database of all the families in this community and identified about 130 pregnant women. We had couple of kick off programs for which the women didn't turn up in great strengths. Main reasons are also lack of awareness on the importance of raising healthy babies / wanting to know about their bodies / benefiting from such programs. Our current efforts are quite promising. We feel, If we approach by the right plan they will definitely come.
Will you be able to bring in experts to aid this cause?
We were referred to few doctors all of whom seemed too busy for our program or information sharing. We are still in the process of finding references and meeting them. It will be great if you people can also bring.
