Under domestic and inter national laws and work for their education, training and rehabilitation Health The goal of the SPECTRA As health programme is to achieve sustainable improvements in health status among vulnerable groups, especially the geographically remote, women of childbearing age and children under five. Health is more then health care, while the SPECTRA work the strengthen health systems and services, it also promotes initiatives that offer people the knowledge and skills to avoid illness. These measures include educating women and girls and enabling families to adopt appropriate hygiene practices. In addition, the SPECTRA supports testing and implementation of income-generating strategies that allow households and communities to acquire better nutrition and health status. Increased income enables communities to improve nutritional status, particularly that of women and children, and to build and maintain water and sanitation systems. Education  A major goal of the SPECTRA is to improve the quality of basic education. Four objectives set the wider agenda: ensuring better early caring and learning environments for young children; increasing access to education; keeping children in school longer; and raising levels of academic achievement. In common with other donor agencies, the SPECTRA intend those girls, the very poor, and geographically remote populations should receive special attention. Of the may factors, that influences the quality of basis education. SPECTRA education portfolio is distinctive in one other respect. It interprets’ basis education’ as the continuation of learning which stretches from birth to adolescence. In developing countries, the young children and the family portfolio is experimenting in both rural and urban settings with various community-based approaches that enhance early childcare and education opportunities, A common concern across most of these projects is the quality of experience received as a child moves from home to early childhood development settings to primary school. Rural Development The SPECTRA is committed to reducing rural poverty, particularly in resource-poor, degraded or remote environments. It concentrates on a small number of programms of significant sale. The model of participatory rural development it has pioneered combines a set of common development principles with the flexibility to respond to specific contexts and needs. Programmes typically link elements such as rural savings and credit, natural resource management, productive infrastructure development, increased agricultural productivity and human skill development with a central concern for community-level participation and decision-making. The ultimate goal is to enable community members to make informed choices from a range of appropriate options for sustainable and equitable development. A central strategy has been to crate or strengthen an institutional structure at the village level through which people can determine priority needs decide how best to manage common resources in the interests of the community as a whole. Whether, broad-based or task-specific, these village organizations’ also serve to represent the community to the government and two other development partners, including NGOs and the private sector. Social capital built at the local level provides a supportive environment for enlarging the economic assets of a community and for harnessing individual self-interest to generate income growth in a equitable and sustainable manner. Assets are typically built through community management of neutral resources-water storage, irrigation infrastructure, soil conservation or forestry – or the construction of basic economic infrastructure, such as rural roads or agricultural storage facilities. Income growth is promoted by increasing agricultural productivity through improved farming methods, input supply, marketing, land development and management reform or by increasing off-farm income and supporting enterprise development. Local capital is mobilized by promoting savings and development financial services to enable broad access to credit on a sustainable basis. Training programme support the effectiveness and sustainability of the village-level institutions by providing the management and technical skills needed to plan, implement and maintain local development activities. The SPECTRA is committed to building the knowledge base in rural development through learning, analyzing and disseminating lessons learners from field experience. Community Participation The benefits of community participation in development programme have been richly demonstrated. Local people can acquire the organized capacity to define and meet common needs on a sustainable basis. Each year the range of problems poor communities’ address through participatory efforts grows – as does the SPECTRAs understanding of what is needed to champion local initiative. Full participation comes most quickly when there are immediate, tangible benefits from community action. Projects that bring economic rewards, for instance, move forward faster than those aimed solely at preventing health problems. As community organizations created for economic benefit mature, however, they gain the confidence and vision to address longer-term social needs successfully. The potential of these groups is vast. Support organizations need to listen carefully. Community groups want to be heard, to be offered choices, to have central roles in project management and a genuine stake in the outcome. As the Foundation monitors community initiatives in different cultural and geographical settings, it is learning what combinations of these factors bring maximum social and economic benefits over time. It is also learning the limits to the effectiveness of community participation, Experience shows, for example, that small enterprises are beat run by individuals or partners rather than community organizations. Gender and Development The SPECTRAs is committed to highlighting the essential role of women in the development process and to facilitating their participation. Research and experience have shown that considering gender considerations in planning economic and social interventions greatly increases the probability of their success. In most countries and communities, gender determines both domestic and productive roles. Women generally have responsibilities for both, but their ability to contribute to society is constrained by social, cultural and political traditions. Compared to men, they tend to be less educated, more limited in their options and paid less. Yet women manage households, raise children, pass knowledge to the next generation, lend livestock, grew, and process crops and often run businesses to supplement family income. Families and communities benefit exponentially when women reap greater rewards for their own efforts and labor. Once sustenance needs are covered, women quickly address the health and education needs of other generations. To raise the competence and confidence of women – and, correspondingly, to open the thinking of men-is a long term commitment of the SPECTRAs. In addition to supporting research and action aimed at making women’s participation a reality, the SPECTRAs support women with village credit schemes, training in forestry, masonry , crop and livestock management accounting and marketing. It encourages education and careers for women. It looks for ways to engage with men around the attitudinal and structural changes that flow from programmesthat benefit women. The Environment In resource-poor areas, people and the environment are often trapped together in a downward spiral. Penury of natural resources forces the less privileged to consume the few resources available to them. The result is deeper poverty deplaned soils, deforested hills, polluted water, disease, and despair. The Spectra’s rural development programms combine local organization, appropriate technology, and investment in efforts to reverse this destructive course. Health, education and capacity development programmes also help to raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage people to manage to change in the best interests of the community. The environment includes natural, built and cultural factors that cut across virtually all development programmes. Each profoundly, affects the human conditions, and all are interrelated, Environmental problems are complex and often extremely difficult to slove. Even the smallest steps in the right direction have positive implications for rich and poor alike. Child Labourers Our main objects for child labourers  To focus public attention and pressure the government to evolve and implement effective policies and programmes, which would incline having both agricultural and domestic labour declared as hazardous.  To highlight sectarian violations against child labours, especially the girl child labourers.  To impress upon the public the hazards faced by domestic girl child labourers the exploitative work environment with long hours of work, low rewards, and a relatively high level of physical and even sexual abuse.  To demand for the eradication of child labour in general.
