Message from Executive Director

Dear Friends

It gives me great pleasure to share with you an update on the performance of Holistic Child and

Women Development in Tamil Nadu, India through this Annual report for the year 2019-2020. It

is because of the unstinting support of our donors we are able to continue to transform the lives

of thousands of children, women and their families.

In the year 2019- 2020, our desire and effort have been to increase the number of projects

considerably, so we may touch the lives of a greater number of underprivileged children and

women.

While our efforts to increase the coverage of children, women and their families by taking up

many more new projects in different parts of the state will continue, our COMMITMENT to

maintain a high quality of the programs of the existing projects and our accountability to donors

remains steadfast.

I thank our ALMIGHTY God for His continued blessings upon this organization for the above 25

years. I would like to thank my board members, our donors, our supporters, staff, volunteers

and the entire team for associating with NAMCO and having trust in the organisation and its

work. At the end, I would like to extend my heartiest gratitude and blessings to all the children

that have connected with NAMCO. I hope, we can connect with more and more children.

Mr.C.Jeevanandham, Executive Director

Introduction

National Mother and Child welfare Organisation (NAMCO), registered under Tamilnadu

Societies Registration Act, envisions achieving a child-and women caring society that

respects their rights. Since its establishment in 1992, NAMCO has been engaged in Child

development in Thiruvarur and neighboring districts, making efforts towards breaking the

vicious cycle of their poverty and ensuring easy access to the basic rights of protection,

education, healthcare, participation and opportunities for livelihood. We have successfully

been able to design and implement innovative models like, Student Development Centers,

Child Line, and Sponsor Programme for Higher education etc. with proven outcomes. We

work for all kinds of children, regardless of gender, origin or religion, inspired by an

underlying ethic of compassion for their vulnerability and extreme marginalization.

Considering the nature of their vulnerability and challenges of working with them, we build

deep partnerships with nonprofits, businesses, governments and local administrations,

based on a shared vision of prosperity for street and working children. Working with our

partners—ranging from socially responsible corporations, NGOs, Governments—we are

committed to ensure children and women their long due rights and improve their quality of

life. We attempt to bring change by pioneering innovative models and committed partnership.

In developing innovative models and programmes, we actively involve children, women and

community by doing so; we have been quite successful in harnessing their ingenuous

creativity and skills.

Participation of children has been of central significance in our entire activities: we involve

them both in designing models/ programmes as well as their implementation on ground. All

these have led NAMCO to evolve as a truly child-centred organization. We work with children

in all their forms: street-connected children, working children, out-of-school children, school

going children, begging children, children working in factories, children connected with

railway stations, children in difficult circumstances, children using substances, runaway

children, etc. Our approach covers their needs from education, health and livelihood to

rescuing and repatriation. Time to time, in our work, children and women are protagonists

and staffs mere the catalysts for change.
