FRIENDS OF THE
CHAKMAS (FOTC) has been striving to carry the message of change to the grassroots levels and act as an agent of change.
Among many other
initiatives, our thrust areas have been to help the Chakmas get access to education, health and shelter and facilitate capacity
building among the community which will act as a catalyst of social change and development.
At present we
have two projects on the anvil and we look forward to engage ourselves with likeminded voluntary organizations and donor agencies
for collaboration, guidance and support.
PROJECT ONE
MEDICARE FOR THE
CHAKMAS
'MEDICARE
for the Chakmas' is a health specific initiative aimed at meeting the health care needs and challenges of the Chakmas
living in far flung, remote areas in one of India's
North-East states called Mizoram.
PROJECT TWO
CHILDRENS HOME
We hope
to run a Childrens' Home to be suitably named Jummeye Childrens' Home where children from 'shifting cultivation'
families would find a place with a school nearby to attend when their parents will be away in the jungles for most part of
the year.
