Mission

Sukarya USA is a volunteer-driven organization based in Seattle, USA, with the purpose of raising awareness and mobilizing financial resources for Sukarya's work on the ground, providing access to quality maternal and child health services to women and children in India, and establish a support system for them that ensures the following: ● Implement intervention in areas where access to quality healthcare is non-existent, ● Strengthen linkages with existing charitable organizations, government systems and global R&D resources, ● Empower rural women through self help groups with various entrepreneurship programs, and ● Inspire communities to take ownership of the programs and change attitudes over time. ● Use innovative education methods to teach children living in slums and rural areas.

Notes from the nonprofit

We would continue to focus on raising awareness and funds for the program capacity building of education and empowerment of adolescent girls (Gender Equality) and children living in the slums of India (Education on Wheels). Our new endeavor is going to enable Sukarya in introducing basic digital skills for adolescent girls in their Gender Equality program enhancing their abilities and employability. We will also find support to integrate technology into various program operations and implementation of Sukarya for better data management. We will explore how to replicate the success of Sukarya's Maternal Child Health & Nutrition (MCHN) program in the United States. Planning for a virtual conference on public health and nutrition with a focus on MCHN is on the table. Locally, we will work with the seniors in the local community by having virtual or physical health sessions by engaging selected volunteering healthcare professionals.

The latest UNICEF report says that about one-third of adolescents in India report physical and sexual abuse. This situation remains stagnant till now. And it is further worse in slum locations where families living in vulnerable conditions with minimal resources and all odds.

The goal is to provide the basic knowledge and awareness to adolescent girls [11-19 yrs age group] on Reproductive and Sexual health. Build their knowledge and Skills on Family Life aspects [Physical, Social, Psychological and moral dimensions] to relate, understand and cope with challenges to lead a healthier life. Educate and inform them about Safety measures to avoid social risks and threats.

Around 100 Adolescent Girls would be empowered on reproductive health aspects and Family life dimensions. Adolescent girls would be able to have a healthier life and would be well informed about internal and external threats of life and future challenges. Overall Health and Gender Empowerment would be ensured to create a healthy society.

The plan is to build the Center on the existing structure of Sukarya. The goal is to build the capacities of non-profits through customized thematic and project management training, to build knowledge and understanding of corporate/for-profit companies on relevant social development sector issues and build the capacities of youths by providing training/short courses directed towards social development sector requirements and provide internship opportunities. (both domestic & overseas students).

Only a small fraction of non-profits are fully operational because of lack of funds, efficient leadership, and skilled manpower, despite having great passion and determination to serve the masses. It is vital to provide them well-structured and planned training that enhances their ability to function for greater efficiency & long-term sustainability. Also, the training for corporate personnel on social development is very essential to direct funds towards any key issues.

The "Center of Excellence for Social Change" aims to build and develop the capacities of small non-profit and community based organizations to strengthen institutional development, program planning & project management, financial management, technical know-how, thematic knowledge, and other project implementation aspects. This will in return make social programs successful.
