About This Cause
EFRAH (A Society for Social Welfare) is a Non-Governmental Organization that started in 1997 and came into legal existence on 17th March 1999, getting Registration under the Society Registration Act 21 of 1860 and its Registration No is S-34553 in Delhi (India). It is registered under the Foreign Contribution Registration Act, registration No. 231660324 (renewed in January 2022 and valid till the year 2027), as well as registered under the Income Tax Act of 80G and the 12A. The inception of EFRAH as an organization has been an emotional journey that started with 150 children working Okhla vegetable market area in New Delhi as child labour; EFRAH engaged with them to mitigate child labour and mainstream these children with a formal education system. Later on, EFRAH expanded its outreach to other areas on child rights issues and subsequently started engaging with families of the children to promote and support the overall development of children and the families. The core area of EFRAH intervention has been broadened to Education (Facilitating children through learning centres & Vocational Training centres, mainstreaming those children with school, Advocating Right to Education Act implementation and the importance of social & financial education), Livelihood (Self Help Group formation, Micro Finance & placement of students capacitated through vocational training), Health (RCH Awareness & HIV/AIDS prevention among female sex workers and migrant labours), WASH ( Water Hardware Installation and Sanitation & Hygiene program), Promotion of Community Livelihood, Agro Diversity, Natural Resources, Renewable Energy Biodiversity (Promoting Organic Farming, Solar Energy, Solar Power Irrigation, cultivate healthy crops and make better ecosystem, Ponds Rejuvenation and Rain Water harvesting), and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) (Awareness and increased coping capacity to shocks induced to disaster). At present, we are working in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), and Noida (U.P.) in India. EFRAH is functioning through a child-centered community development approach and advocacy is a part of the outreach programme. We adopted “education and rights” as a tool for social change, particularly among the informal economy and the unorganized community. Theory of Change The Organisation facilitates the development of a system in which all stakeholders work together and know their roles and responsibilities. The organization is investing in systems-building and developing the community and local governance capacity on a priority basis to help all stakeholders contribute effectively towards the goal of sustainable community services at scale. Enhance community leadership to help ensure inclusive stakeholder collaboration; including adolescents, youth, and women’s groups. If families living in poverty are mobilized in collectives and their knowledge/information access and skills are enhanced, including acquiring new skills, their ability to access resources gets enhanced i.e. to take up improved practice or take new livelihood initiatives, market exposures, and then they can impact on poverty.
