MOM Foundation provides financial support to local NGO’s to distribute face masks to the rural areas of Bodhan Municipality, Nizamabad Dist, India

Goal is to supply 10,000 Face masks- so far able to distribute 5850

Bodhan falls in Nizamabad district and North Telangana region of Telangana. It is categorized as a semi-urban seat. Bodhan Munipality has five revenue mandals; Bodhan, Ranjal, Navipet and Yedpally.

COVID-19 Pandemic has caused severe economic damage to the thousands of families who lost their daily wages, severe unemployment, and poor sanitary conditions made their livelihood at severe risk. MOM Foundation assisted local NGO’s to provide food baskets, water bottles, and other food supplies. This outreach is possible with the support and generosity of many donors who support the initiatives of MOM Foundation.

As the number of Covid-19 cases increases in India, and masks become in short supply, especially for health care workers, Doctors, aids, and volunteers. MOM Foundation has joined hands with two local Non-Governmental organizations (Light for the Blind, Village Development Organization) to financially support to distribute face masks in the rural municipality of NGO’sn. These local NGO’s secured manufacturing and fabric to make masks and help the people in need. Our goal is to have 10,000 masks; as of now, we have made and disturbed 5,850 washable masks in the Municipality of Bodhan.

Nizamabad healthcare workers worry over door-to-door survey to trace people with symptom

While the survey is under way in parts of Nizamabad town and other areas of the district, healthcare workers urged their higher-ups to provide them with infrared thermal screening equipment and face Masks.

In this same area, several officials and healthcare workers seem hesitant to conduct a door-to-door survey to trace people showing symptoms of the novel Coronavirus in the absence of infrared thermal screening equipment.

MOM Foundation ladies make masks and distribute them to the local community

An initiative to fight against COVID-19

One of the core values of the MOM Foundation is to live a life in service to others. When we are faced with a pandemic of this magnitude, the MOM Foundation wants to show our willingness and ability to do something.

So many people selflessly put themselves on the frontline to care for others with no consideration for their personal safety. Our nurses, doctors, police officers, firefighters, emergency service workers, grocery store clerks, restaurant workers, and first responders go to work every day with one intention, to take care of others. We are incredibly thankful for their service.

With a shortage of medical supplies, the MOM Foundation stepped up to the plate immediately to make masks and distribute them to anyone in need of a face mask, including Rockland Child Care, South Orangetown Parents Group, Daughters of Saint Ann, Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt and families in the community. If you need a face mask, please call 845- 421-0969. You can visit our website at www.MOM-Foundation.org. “The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.” – Mother Teresa

EDUCATION FOR RURAL POOR CHILDREN AND ORPHANS

In the effort for greater change, MOM foundation work with government schools and communities to improve educational facilities, fight against child labor and to ensure that more children from disadvantaged backgrounds have access to quality education. Webring to them an specific attention to the needs of our time specifical the climate change. These are the pole that we develop in rural area:

Awareness camps for students
Tree planting program in schools to improve greenery
Poster printing and distribution
Annual talent competitions to gauge performance improvement

The targeted educational institutions not only display cleaner, greener and better equipped campuses but also a drastically lowered rate of absenteeism, from 30% to 13%. Children study in a more encouraging and comfortable learning environment, leading to better academic performance. Better sanitation has improved the attendance of girl children, and greatly reduced health risks. Parents, teachers and students feel collectively responsible for their school.In order to give response that improves those indicators we have:

Orphans and Semi-Orphans The Orphan Program helps prevent child labor through community sponsorship. Communities work to provide scholarships for orphans and semi-orphans. Identifying Orphan Children: MOM works with the Women’s Groups to identify orphan children in their villages. These children are from a rural poor background and have lost both parents at a very young age. Left alone without any security, love or care, they suffer psychologically, emotionally, socially and economically. They often end up as child laborers and beggars. The Women’s groups take them under their wing and call them, “Vikasa Children”.
MOM Mothers (women members):Members of the Women’s program are motivated to act as mothers to all the Vikasa children. The women themselves are poor and illiterate, earning about one dollar a day and struggling to manage. Yet, they understand the orphan children’s needs and provide them with motherly love and care. Many of these poor women become generous donors by donating a few days’ wages to pay for clothing and books. They provide them with emotional support and enroll them in boarding schools and colleges.
Solidarity Day with Orphans:The Vikasa mothers organize a Solidarity Day with Orphans every year to celebrate the birthdays of all the orphans. In addition to giving a donation, the women will take a day off work, pay their own travel and bring the meals for themselves and the children. The children are ecstatic to celebrate and have a chance to speak publicly and share their happy and sad MOMents from the year. The Vikasa Mothers encourage them in their studies and console them if they are sad. The children feel warmth, love, strength and security.
Other Programs

Child Labor Reduction: We conduct surveys of working children in the villages and discuss the issue of child labor, and a child’s right to education, in the monthly Self-Help Group Women’s meetings. Mothers are encouraged to educate their children rather than send them to work.
