Title: Building Resilient Communities through Bottom up Approach: Case Study of a Rural Education Centred NGO from Nepal
Author/Creator: Kharel, Kanchan Prasad | Pulla, Venkat
Description: There are a number of Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) working in the third world’s field of educating children in rural areas. In this paper, we review an experience of a purely children’s education centered NGO that works in western Nepal, the facilitator of which received the Ramon Magsaysay award in 2007. This NGO uniquely demonstrates the variety of entrepreneurship through self-help groups that generate profits to run and support education for the children. At the conceptual level, the paper begins with the relationship between aid and development in the third world, its impact on poverty reduction; thus presenting a framework for resilience and also reviewing the development of the ‘bottom up approach’ favorably considered as programme strategy in this NGO. As part of this qualitative paper, the authors have also provided a brief biographical details of the founder of the NGO and his mission to make his community self-reliant ad resilient.
