The philosophy of child sponsorship programme lies mostly in building love and affection between sponsors and children who are at different corners of the world. Right from the world war times children particularly orphaned destitute and neglected have been the focus of sponsorship programme. In due course what started as a humanitarian gesture towards the children who are lacking love and succor, turned out to be major movements in building human relations across the globe, in general and in the development of underprivileged children in particular. Today the reason is not world war but the scenario is same with the children fighting in fatigue against the war of illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, malnutrition, child trafficking, girl child infanticide, child marriages and similar social evils. The children in the villages are considered as burden or liability until they earn for the family. So the children though they cross the age of childhood they never enjoy childhood.
The "ensemble agissons" sponsorship program through the partnership of Vimukti Pothnal gives the right type of linkages, access and continuous contacts required for fostering relationship between children and sponsors on a long term basis. The initial focus on children through education and personality development input and family support promises the child a bright future. The main goal of sponsorship is child education through which rest all the weaknesses turn into strength. – Knowledge is Power.
There are those unfortunate children who are born in this earth but are burden to the family. The future of these children is at stake. Given any chance to themselves these children are not able to find a better prosperous future for themselves. But yes! We can together bring meaning to this child’s existence; we can help the child for its future in a better way. " Ensemble, agissons" along with its Indian/Raichur Partner has a plan to bring smiles on the faces of these children.
