Story
A group of us based in the UK are running at the 'Baxters Loch Ness Marathon' in September 2017 to raise money to support ACD (Animators for Community Development), a non-profit NGO based in India - that works at the grass-roots for the social education and development of the most economically and socially exploited people in the inner villages of South India.
The members of ACD vowed to change the situation by making the impoverished masses self-aware and self-mobilising them to take steps to improve their socio-economic situation. This required a radical change in the traditional mind-set of the people who were suppressed, exploited, marginalised and excluded from the mainstream of the society. Therefore ACD's tasks involves awareness-raising and organising the vulnerable sections of the society through forming various Women’s Organisations,
Youth Associations , Small and Marginal Farmers, rural students and teachers, to consolidate their strength through co-ordination and networking.
The funds that will be raised will directly go to fund extending ACD activities in adult education, social education, social mobilisation, formation of people’s organisations, skills-training in income –generation activities through farm and non-farm activities and attaining significant changes among the rural masses in terms of their mind-sets, attitudes, social stigma relating to the women’s status, hierarchical social set up of the caste system, religious and cultural values and superstitious beliefs.
We would like to thank you for every contribution made towards this worthwhile cause and supporting ACD's efforts to build a better future - a just and sustainable society.
