Orphan and Widow Empowerment
CIGI is an organization that aims at spreading its service to all spheres of society including the ones hitherto neglected by mainstream establishments. We have special communities designed to facilitate empowerment of a variety of strata in the wide social structure. In addition to providing assistance to marginalized communities, CIGI further stretches out its helping hands to orphan students and their mothers in terms of both educational and psychological support. We have special projects designed for deserving people with lack of familial support.
Students Training for Excellence in Performance (STEP) is one among such specially designed projects particularly meant for talented orphan students. Through this project, we impart rigorous training to students residing in orphanages, through a wide variety of programmes, equipping them to be better individuals and to achieve remarkable success. Many STEP alumni have achieved glorious feet in their life and they stand as a testimony to the effectiveness of this project. Over the years STEP was able to mentor several hundreds of orphan students who were residents of orphanages across the state.
Supportive Active Foster Assistance (SAFA) is yet another project to empower orphans and their mothers into self sufficient family units. Our novel model of home-based foster care has received recognition from every nook and corner. The well-established system of assistance is designed not only to support the children in education, but also enable their mothers to obtain vocational training and become self-reliant. Our team also encourages them to join in continuing- education programmes.
The project is run with the help of trained fellows chosen by CIGI, who connect with the families directly. Currently SAFA is active in 6 locations where several families live together.
- Kozhikode - Nainamvalapp, Odumbra, Snehatheeram, Kuttyadi and Moozhikkal.
- Ernakulam - Mattanchery.
