Our Work

Education

Despite the fact that education is the most powerful weapon in the battle against poverty, some kids in villages are denied the opportunity to finish their studies. Right To Education Act of 2009 states that every child aged 6-14 years has the right to free and compulsory education. Therefore, RJM Trust has come forward to set up a school to provide education in the region and to provide evening schools and home tuitions.

Health

The Indian public health sector encompasses 18% of total outpatient care and 44% of total inpatient care. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major health challenge in India, accounting for more than 60% of all deaths in the country. The most common NCDs in India are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases. RJM Trust has come up with a economically sustainable model for healthcare in the region by way medical camps, technology usage and IOT.

Livelihood problems in rural areas

Livelihood

One of the biggest challenges any country faces is facilitating sustainable livelihoods for youth, especially the under-resourced.

India is home to a staggering fifth of the world’s youth population, and as per the latest estimates, the country will have the largest working-age population by 2100. To sustain this vast young populace, the country needs to generate viable employment opportunities that are not just geared towards income generation but are per their goals, ambitions and aspirations. Most importantly, these employment opportunities must be sustainable. To achieve this, access to education remains the most crucial factor.

The major problems that have been identified are, regarding livelihood in India, farmers and laborer’s farming, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, homelessness and crime and violence.

The problems faced by the marginal farmers and landless laborers in undertaking various livelihood activities- erratic monsoon, lack of remunerative price for the farm produce, high price fluctuation, lack of infrastructure facilities to involve in various livelihood activities, lack of awareness about government schemes, non-availability of work throughout the year, lack of training for skilled activities in different livelihood systems.

RJM's area of focus:

RJM facilitates trust building between communities within agriculture systems to overcomes barriers and facilitates the adoption of new technologies and practices for productivity and resilience.

Overview

Water

Come summer, and water becomes a commodity as precious as gold in India. The country has 18 percent of the world’s population, but only 4 percent of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed in the world. So also, a large number of villagers in this region face high to extreme water stress. A safe water supply is the backbone of a healthy villages, yet is woefully under prioritized, locally. Water scarcity prevention initiatives by RJM Trust include Sustainable water management, Reclaiming water, better sewage treatment, Awareness and Education.

Overview

Women Empowerment

We aim to empower women and girls from poor and marginalised communities and improve their lives and livelihoods. We do this through well-planned and comprehensive health, education, livelihood, disaster relief, and response projects.

Overview

Privileged Children

Children are our future. Without them, our country and our world would go nowhere. Not only will giving to charities that help children benefit the children themselves, but it will also positively affect our society.

Privileged children lose their ability to have a normal childhood. They aren’t capable of developing emotionally, physically and socially. Moreover, research has shown that they are more likely to be depressed, have low self-esteem, not receive an education, and suffer from a lack of sleep and bad nutrition.  As these children grow up, they are less likely to positively contribute to society since they might not be able to hold a stable and good paying job. Instead of working they are more likely to partake in crime and fall victim to the criminal justice system.

We don’t believe in taking a one-size-fits-all approach to helping children. What’s best for a 6-year-old in Andhra Pradesh is far different than what a 14-year-old in Telangana needs. A comprehensive localized approaches, as we call it, which means our programs adapt and change with children’s needs at different ages, matched with the most urgent needs and available services in their communities.
