Child Helpline 1098

Nemmadi Trust responds 24/7 to the needs of children in distress through the CHILDLINE in Nelamangala Taluk of Bengaluru Rural district. The alert team works in close coordination with government officials in police, health and education departments, self help groups, youth volunteers and public. In addition to addressing emergencies we organise regular awareness programmes in the community and specialised camps for the stakeholders. Children with special needs are referred to appropriate agencies in our network.

The Executive Director of Nemmadi Trust serves as the Chairperson of Bangalore Rural Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

Sustainable Water Resource Development

Any interventions in the community without a focus on conservation of local resources are unlikely to sustain. As we love the nature, we transfer this love to the community and make this viable for their livelihood on a continuous basis. Nemmadi team constantly talks on the nature and the dangers it is facing by unplanned developments in the neighborhood.
The strong field presence of Nemmadi in Nelamangala Taluk in Bangalore Rural District has brought an international consultant organization based in Chandigarh to initiate a Water Conservation Programme in Nelamangala Taluk in 2009.
One of the achievements of the intervention was the renovation of 3 water bodies in the Taluk. While executing the physical infrastructural development activities, community mobilization and orientation programmes were carried out simultaneously. Women SHGs and farmers groups were formed to support maintenance of the structures and promote sustainable development.

Women Self Help Groups

Nemmadi believes in building the capacities of women in villages to bring about sustainable community development. With this conviction, we promote Self Help Groups (SHGs) in all the villages we work and help them to improve their economic situation by facilitating access to credit and skill training.
By 2021, more than 100 SHGs have been formed. They have a membership of over 1200. The individual savings in the groups has nearly two million Rupees. They have also received loans from banks to the tune of over seven million Rupees, by maintaining the group discipline. The entrepreneurial trainings have helped women to start viable business and livelihood activities in their own villages.
