India

Good Neighbors International launched its mission in India in 2009, with a commitment to transforming lives and uplifting communities through dedicated service and impactful programs. We initially focused on improving the lives of migrant, rural, ethnic, and nomadic tribe communities.

Our mission is to foster sustainable development and enhance the well-being of vulnerable children and communities. To achieve this, we emphasize holistic development through initiatives in education, health, vocational training, and community empowerment. These efforts have been concentrated in the southern region of India, including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. Currently, we are partnering with EFICOR (The Evangelical Fellowship of India Commission on Relief) to expand our community development initiatives.

Our Actions

Our primary activities revolve around community development projects that address the diverse needs of children, youth, and families. Our key areas of focus include:

  • Education: We ensure access to quality education by providing school supplies, uniforms, nutritional support, after-school programs, and educational workshops, as well as constructing schools and daycare centers.
  • Health and Hygiene: We conduct regular medical check-ups and treatments, promote health and hygiene practices through awareness campaigns and workshops, improve sanitation facilities, ensure access to clean water, and organize regular health camps.
  • Vocational Education: We offer vocational training programs for underprivileged individuals, facilitate job placements, and provide entrepreneurial support to empower them.
  • Water and Sanitation: We drill bore wells, install water purifiers in schools and toilets, and enhance sanitation facilities to improve community health.
  • Income Generation: We support income-generating activities, provide financial literacy, and empower community members through skill development and entrepreneurship training.
  • Advocacy: We conduct school campaigns to promote education and awareness and engage in community advocacy to support the rights and needs of vulnerable groups.

Our interventions align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have contributed to SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
