Mission
AID's overall mission is two -pronged:
One : to inspire and develop capabilities in people
Two : to tap talents of our volunteers, by inspiring them to self-motivate and deliver their best. We are geared to utilize every minute of time and effort any volunteer is willing to invest in AID's work.
Vision
To cover the length and breadth of India and holistically focus on the depth of its problems through:
1. Short-term projects
2. Deeper long-term involvement in selected domains such as education and women's empowerment
Simultaneously, we will look at measuring progress through the yardsticks of self-reliance, people's involvement and volunteerism. And we will respond personally to people we meet as we undertake this challenge together.
Insight
At AID, we work with a deep-rooted insight that all the problems - poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, diseases, social inequalities, corruption are part of the same cycle. One problem leads to the other which feeds on yet another. We also understand that this interconnected nature of the problems neither starts nor stops with the poor, but encapsulates all of us.
Therefore, we believe that the solutions to these problems must be interconnected too. We work with community groups to initiate efforts and try to resolve these problems. We have also sponsored various RTI (Right to Information) and NREGA (National Rural Empowerment Guarantee Act) awareness campaigns to empower people, and to ensure that people have the know-how and the latest tools to fight |
