Vision & Mission
Vision
The Don Bosco Tribal development society aims to empower and uplift the marginalized tribal people of Jawadhi hills through sustainable livelihood , access to education and liberation from substance abuse.
Mission
The Don Bosco Tribal development society will focus mainly on improving livelihood, reducing distress migration and decreasing alcoholism among the marginalized tribal population in Jawadhi hills. Early marriage, initiation to substance use and school drop-outs among the young must be prevented through education of tribal children through boarding and evening study centers. The tribal people must be enabled to evolve development projects without destroying the ecological balance. The Don Bosco tribal development society must empower the tribal communities not to be alienated from their lands, culture and access to natural resources. They must be helped to make optimum use of their land by initiating sustainable agricultural programs and providing training in various skills to increase employment.
Methods
- Increasing access to education by providing accommodation to children from remote villages to reach schools through the boarding home.
- Reaching children in the villages by running evening study centres in the villages.
- Continuing the work started by our founder by improving access to livelihood through animal husbandry and agricultural inputs and watershed programmes.
- Being relevant in this community by addressing current needs- running a community-based substance abuse program.
- Networking with other organisation to achieve our objectives, our strongest collaborator being The Christian Medical College (CMC,CHAD)Vellore.
