From strength to strength- goals for the future!

By Akashamitra Turnbull | Project Leader

Staff celebrate their goals that build on success!

The Bhalobasha project in West Bengal has gone from strength to strength in the last 4 years and is now ready to enter a new phase.

The project was originally supporting 10 families - and over the last 4 years this has now grown to over more than 60 families each year! There is a long waiting list for the project which is heavily over subscribed.

I recently spent a week leading the project through a strategic planning process for the next 4 years. and the team created their goals for the future.

Developments over the next 4 years will include -

Increased levels of mainstreaming children into school
more support for fathers to care for their children
more integration into the local community for children and their families
greater levels of support for families to access financial and practical entitlements

The team were very enthusiastic about the planning process and were both grateful for the support Karuna has given the project over recent years, and extremely optimistic about the future.

Thank you for your support of this project; regular donations help projects like Bhalobasha bring an exciting child-centered future into being. Thank you!
