THE DISTRIBUTION
METHODOLOGY
WE
STRESS A LOT ON SORTING OF MATERIAL - AS IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES
OVER 40% MATERIAL WHICH COMES FROM PEOPLE IS WASTAGE i.e.THESE
ARE TORN OR USELESS.
-
With our systems in place, we sort out every single cloth, make
separate packs for male, female etc. and do a need based distribution.
In disasters the situation is really bad ,as many people use
this oppurutnity to clear their houses.
-
The exercise might take some extra time but saves us from wastage
of resources which might occur when we send these to people
without maintaining the dignity of the beneficiaries,
-
The distribution will take place through the trusted network
of GOONJ.. distribution partners
for VASTRADAAN. GOONJ.. has been
working with many NGO's in Tamilnadu for the last few years
and maintains a very good feedback system.
- In
normal circumstances these NGO's even give us a list of beneficiaries
and their acknowledgements. During disasters also we'll have enough
visual proofs of proper distribution ,although we'll not stress
on individual acknowledgement.
- We
have demands from many NGO's /agencies in the affected areas.
Our target is remote villages and as a policy we do not hand over
the material to any big NGO, government agency as we try to tie
up with small grass root level groups there to reach people.
-
We have already tied up with agencies for villages of Vishakhapatnam,
Machchalipatnam, Kanchipuram and many other areas. We are also
building up a network of ASHOKA FELLOWS, working in these areas
and trying to reach the remote parts through them.
One of our volunteers has already done a detailed survey of Kanyakumari..
