Can you briefly tell us what Save A Child International Foundation means?
Save
a child international foundation is a non-profit oriented charity
organization that extends humanitarian gesture to the less privileged,
and the destitute. This is hope to achieve through ceaseless organizing
of enlightenment seminar, health support scheme and extending needful
material to the orphanage homes.
What is the aim?
We
aspire to emerge as best supportive organization to the less privileged
that stimulates human esteem built on social justice. We are working
out a world where every child has a well defined sense of belonging with
team work alloyed with compassion we care for lives and guarantee
excellence in our services to promote social justice.
What are the ranges of projects based on four core of SACIF?
First,
it is giving hope to the hopeless. Then, youth leadership, health
awareness raising and support to the orphanage. We intend to educate
other young people, setting up youth clubs, carrying out research into
health service access, or creating campaigns for social change.
Do you have business oriented programmes?
The
world has made incredible progress for children over the last 25 years -
malnutrition is down and more children are in school. But that progress
hasn't been fair. Millions of children have been forgotten. Forgotten
because they live in the wrong place, or because they are girls,
refugees, disabled or from a minority.
Today,
discrimination is the biggest threat to the world’s poorest children.
At its worst, this discrimination is deadly. For those who do survive,
it blights their lives as they are denied access to education or
healthcare. If we are ever going to end extreme poverty, these are
the children we must reach now.
What steps are you applying to help reach every last child?
To
be rich is not what you have in your account, but what you have in the
heart as the saying goes. The gap between the world's rich and poor has
been wider while wealthy individuals are relishing in the lavish life of
luxury, millions are being forced to endure an insufferable daily
reality of poverty. The time for a drastic change has arrived. It is up
to you and l to make a difference before a significant proportion of the
world's population drowns in an ocean of poverty.
How
would you feel if you were one of the eight hundred million people who
went to bed ravenously hungry each and every night? You would lay,
shivering, listening to the unbearable sound of your stomach crying out
in starvation.
What considerations have you shortlisted?
You
need to understand that human infant pays attention to the faces and
people who we are talking. Human infant likes listening to human
speech. Human infant babbles long before they are able to produce words.
Then, you go on to ask yourself questions over all these. Why? It may
be that nobody believes in the children.
And
why should anyone do? Whenever I pick up a biro and a book to start
writing, people around me shout at me saying, ‘you have started again!’ A
lot of discouraging words, but I knew that they cannot see what I was
seeing and can't understand even if I explain to them. The children cry
out for your help and support to be a change in their own generation.
They are being called the leaders of tomorrow while
their grandfathers are leading them to corruption and letting child
abuse grow more and more. Abuse had made our youths to be on the lane
different characters. Like prostitution, fund embezzlement,
kidnapping and etc. And basically, these are things that are not meant
to be.
Do
you suggest that the youths should fold arms or at worse trigger riots
to claim their rights from government, because of the economic situation
of the country?
The
answer is no. As a youth that is seeking solution to problems, you are
expected to produce, invent, launch, extract, unveil and what have you?
You need to know what the world is awaiting you for. So do it right so
that your work will be justified after you left.
In
conclusion, it is the responsibility of the educated generation to stir
revolution for saving the children. We need to educate those educated
as well as the uneducated ignorant ones who commit such crime as
children infanticide. Let's get going, I will expose you to too many
ideas loading. Let’s save the life that needs our help today and make a
better change in our time.
What would be your main focus for now?
It
will be on child abuse. Child abuse is a global problem that is deeply
rooted in cultural, economic and social practices. It is a state of
emotional, physical, economical and sexual maltreatment meted out to a
person below the age of eighteen and is a globally prevalent phenomenon.
However, in India, as in many other countries, there has been no
understanding of the extent, magnitude and trends of the problem.
The
growing complexities of life and the dramatic changes brought about by
socio-economic transitions in India have played a major role in
increasing the vulnerability of children to various and newer forms of
abuse. Child abuse has serious physical and psycho-social consequences
which adversely affect the health and overall well-being of a child. Why
can't we look into it and set up the right of wellbeing for the girl
child? As a
victim I stand to fight against abuse, I stand to fight for those girls
that abuse and neglect has turned their life into a mess. I stand to
fight my fear.
Why are you restricting it to girl-child alone?
Girls
are equally as important as boys in the society to maintain the social
equilibrium. Few years ago, there was huge reduction in the number of
women in comparison to the man. It was so because of the increasing
crimes against women such as female feticide, dowry deaths, rape,
poverty, illiteracy, gender discrimination and many more. To equalize
the number of women in the society, it is very necessary to aware people
greatly about the save girl child. Government has not taken some
positive steps regarding save girl child such as protection of women
from domestic violence act 2005, ban of female infanticide, immoral
traffic act, proper education, gender equality, etc. What can we do to
make this change in our time should be on every lip.
