CREDA's Partnerships
Local Community
CREDA’s success depends on the
involvement
and cooperation of the local community. While our work has
given us a strong presence in the villages, we cannot take this
position for granted and often face resistance and must continuously
work towards maintaining good relations with all
local community people.
CREDA has identified positive
and negative stakeholders instrumental in supporting and
blocking the education of working children. Non-cooperative
stakeholders have been continuously mobilised and persuaded
by CREDA as well as the local community to be part of the campaign
on child labour. The participation of negative stakeholders
is an indicator of the success of the strategy adopted by CREDA.
Agency Partnerships
In the initial years, CREDA ran educational centres with the
support of individual donations and voluntary service. CREDA
also received short-term support from funding agencies like
Terres des Hommes and Child Relief and You (CRY).
Though the focus of our work is child education and the elimination
of child labour, CREDA realised that in order to achieve its
objectives, we had to gain community trust and acceptance and
also address the issue of community development. Thus, CREDA
regularly interacted with the villagers and discussed their
problems. We also undertook drought and flood relief works with
funds from Oxfam and a bullock-cart development programme with
funds from Consortium on Rural Technology (CORT).
CREDA believes in information sharing and supporting NGOS in
capacity building, training and resource mobilisation. CREDA
is closely collaborating with 65 NGOs in the states of UP, MP,
Bihar and Rajasthan under the banner of Alliance for Protection
of Child Rights (APCR).
CREDA welcomes all organisations committed to this cause.
