FORDTUK is a UK based charity working hand in hand with a Non-governmental Organisation (NGO) in India called the Rural Development Trust (RDT). It works with underprivileged and marginalized societies to improve quality of life. These societies comprise of dalits, tribals and social outcasts. Among them the handicapped are the most vulnerable and hence are given the utmost priority. RDT believes in holistic approach in its welfare schemes. People of these communities have been relegated to a life of oppression, bonded labor and poverty due to age old religious and cultural misconceptions; have been denied of basic human rights. Therefore, RDT provides them with facilities for education, healthcare, shelter and thus induce them to engage in gainful employment as individuals or in co-operatives. Women are empowered in the management of family as well as the society which is a noteworthy feature. Since RDT started in 1969, there has been a remarkable change in the lives of the target population. Encouraged by this transformation, the NGO is constantly extending its area of activity beyond the 3600 villages inhabiting some 4 million population. FORDTUK in addition to offering grants for projects and sponsoring vulnerable children would like to facilitate UK volunteers who are willing to share their professional knowledge and administrative experience, to travel to RDT and help with the program. The charity can be contacted through its web page, www.fordt.uk.net

(AU, Rafiki Mwema - N/A) Browse eventsRafiki Mwema means ‘Loyal Friend’ and that is what this ‘safe house’ provided by Play Kenya is to the young girls we support. Rafiki Mwema was born out of the need to support very young girls who have been sexually abused. There are sadly too many girls under the age of 12 who have experienced sexual abuse in Kenya, and at this time there is no specialised care for these very vulnerable children.
