Community Health Program

Community health program includes making the community aware of health and essentially aims at improving personal and family health conditions by bringing about a change in behavioural habits. The focus is given on improving the health status of women and children through different need-based interventions. Emphasis is given on health promotion, preventive health care measures, health education and awareness generation; strengthening linkages and referrals with existing government health services. Attempt is also made to consolidate the indigenous knowledge and good practices of the traditional healers regarding health, to ensure the availability of better health services in remote areas. The strategy used to implement a Community health program involves knowing the health needs of the people, planning with them about what could be done to make them healthy, communicating with them through SHGs, and Youth groups about the proposed behavior changes, creating linkages with the concerned local persons and institutions including government and private health service providers, developing a peer group for promoting healthy environment in the village which will help in maintaining the success of the program. Knowledge inputs are given to community people, which are then transferred to the community to some extent. This helps to improve the health status of the community and in turn improve the quality of life. The activities of the program include promotion of best health practices regarding safe drinking water, clean kitchen package, water resource management, and waste water disposal management, improved nutrition through kitchen garden and hygiene and sanitation.

Women Empowerment 

Kapinzal Social Foundation started working for women through promotion of resource base income generating activities and forming SHGs and nurturing them with professional inputs for their sustainability. The organization trained a number of women workers for looking after women activities and organizing them long run in a sustainable manner. The uniqueness of the Foundation is that the entire women program is managed by women, at all levels. Due to this characteristic, women are able to freely express, plan and execute activities by themselves. It organizes the program uniformly in all the villages of all its targeted areas, which approach is making program effective, viable and sustainable. Though women have joined the program at different time, majority of them remain in the program for many years, developing themselves gradually, year after year. Empowering women program aims at empowering the rural poor, illiterate and marginalized women, in social, economic, intellectual, psychological, moral and ethical spheres of life. To bring about lasting and sustainable change among the disadvantaged women, who are socially and economically backward, it involves a step process. The organization understands that the best way to lead these women forward is to assist them in building their capacities and enabling them to think for them, plan and implement their own development. This is done through motivation and training sessions. Kapinzal Social Foundation also empowers the partner institutions that joint hands to reach out to a greater number of women in disadvantage situations. It lays emphasis on women’s participation in all the programs and activities.

HIV/AIDS

India is a country of vast dimensions. The formidable challenge is the enormity of the problem, both in number of trafficked persons and increasing number of locations.  Of late, there is an expanding market for commercial sexual exploitation through non-brothel based modalities where the trafficked persons are made to pose as attendants, masseurs and as bartenders. Child pornography and cyber sex are other areas that requires concerted attention. Sex tourism, especially child sex tourism, is also a growing phenomenon and India is emerging as a major tourist destination. In practice, however, human beings may be and are trafficked from one poor area to another poor area as well for reasons best known to the traffickers. The fact is that the process of trafficking is designed and manipulated by traffickers for their own ends for which they employ all kinds of means. Therefore the assumption that human beings are always trafficked from undeveloped to more developed places is untenable. The problem of poverty has become acute in the region and the problems of human trafficking has arisen along with other crimes like theft, robbery, alcoholism, drug abuse etc. finding no opportunity for income generation, many young people whether literate, opt for going out of the state for looking for some avenues. But the ignorant and illiterate girls and women fall prey to the hands of some middle men/agents who exploit them through a systematic channel of network. These middle men/agents pretend to be the agents of some companies and assure them to give jobs through the companies. But after taking them to outside from their place, the young girls are used as commercial sex workers.

Many incidents of trafficking of young girls and women from remote parts of state to different places, such as small towns or cities of the state has come to the limelight. They get trapped by being in the nexus and become victims. Sikkim is the state which is also affecting by HIV / AIDS gradually. The organization observed that the illegal and unprotected sex is increasing, which causes welcoming the dreaded virus to the rural and illiterate community by themselves speedily. With this view, the Foundation as facilitator initiating many programs relating to this sectors to aware the people belong to remote areas of the state, where still the people are far away from the information and knowledge about the condition happening around and this dreaded virus attacking them slowly. This is our prime responsibility to aware and makes the people more knowledgeable and informatic first, where we belong to and started our first step from here itself.

Empowering Youth

Involvement and participation of all sections of people is very important to ensure sustainable development of the rural community. Youth are a great human asset in any community. They not only have great potential but also high level of commitment towards a cause. The objective of youth participation in the community is for acceleration of growth and development. Kapinzal social Foundation is working at creating effective leadership among rural youth and is transforming them into agents of change in their communities, in areas of the environment, health, sanitation and education. Majority of the rural youth are school dropouts and about 80% of them are unemployed. One of the objectives of the program is to develop the personality of the youth and empower them in gaining self-confidence and self-respect. The other objective is to train the youth to become integral part of the main stream and involve them in the community development process. The program also aims at improving the hidden skills and assisting them in developing themselves in the various aspects of life. The organization makes efforts to provide opportunities by which the youth can develop themselves, their families and also their communities.
