People Partnerships and Prosperity : three major pillars of SDGs leading to protect planet and bring peace.
Community Libraries in partnership with Community Leaders; visionaries and legends to serve people of their villages to learn and grow!
The two libraries of READ India, in partnership with leaders of the community in Rampura village near Srirangapatnam in Mysore and Shettihalli of Vemmagal of Kolar districts of Karnataka, meant a lot for READ India, by getting free spaces, the traditional houses, surrounded by communities who wish their children to study high, girls want to learn the skills if given opportunities, women want to help their families by learning and earning a dignified life.
Earlier, a fortnight ago, a family in Bharpur village of Fatehabad district of Haryana dedicated a huge space to open a library, a skilling unit, an early learning centre.
With books for all; newspaper for elders to read; computers with free access to Internet; early learning Center’s for children and above all an environment of peace, the outcome has to be the prosperity, with commitment for a common cause.
The best part is to visit the places, get the warm hospitality with local fresh fruits from their gardens; the local flavoured food and many helping hands to set the READ library as if something very valuable came to their village for life long and it’s for them, for their families and their children.
READ India witnesses these partnerships earlier too in Mehndipur village of Jhajjar district, Haryana in more than 150 years old Haveli; similar infrastructure in Devli village of Bharatpur district in Rajasthan and in Kingaon village of Latur district of Maharashtra.
The vision and mission are the same, the community and culture are different but values bind them together to serve their own communities. The girls and boys qualified get the opportunity to get jobs in their own villages, get respect from people whom they are serving.
From the past twenty years, this mission has become a part of life with dedicated team around India, 300 people serving and connecting more than g half a million rural population. The journey does not stop here. Connecting Communities and Empowering People; translating SDGs into action on the ground; addressing all the five pillars of SDGs is the backbone of social and economic development.
