Project Partners


ILP's project partner for the "Our School Movement" project in Bellary, Karnatka is the Non-Government Organization (NGO), Society for Integrated Community Development (SNEHA). SNEHA has been an ILP partner orgniazation since the year 2002 working in the Kudligi area.
The organization is led by Mr. Ramanjaneya, who had won the distinguished Social worker with Children award for working with children, in November 2007. This honor was awarded to him jointly by the Department of Women and Child Developemnt, Education, Karnataka Council for Child welafre and Karnataka's State Society of Balbhavans is a testament to the kind of leaderhip that ILP seeks in our partner organizations.
 
SNEHA was formally registered as an NGO in India in 1994 and has since taken up various activities with support form many donor agencies. ILP - SNEHA partnership started in 2002 to work in 50 villages of the Kudligi Education Block. The idea was to empower people to be active participants to ensure education for all children there by totally wiping out the menace of child labour.


SNEHA's excellent performance through 2007 and the needs of the area formed the basis for ILP to continue the parternship with SNEHA to scale up the project to a larger number of villages / schools.
