More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Although rural communities face many hardships, very few are prepared to take action to address them since poverty, insecurity and the difficulty involved in doing so hold them back. This fellowship supports tribal women and men, typically from poor households, who have already shown potential but need help to mobilize their community.
Activities
The selected Fellows are supported for a period of two years for which they are provided with a Fellowship amount of Rs.25,000. They are also given targeted support in the form of learning workshops and guidance from experienced field workers.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $540
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $49,460
Total Funding Goal: $50,000
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
A variety of community-specific issues will be addressed and the capacity of the community to address other issues in the future will be enhanced. Communities will feel more encouraged to take responsibility for bringing about social change.
Project Message
The role of community leaders is extremely important as otherwise the poor often just remain mere spectators of processes affecting their lives and expect that the State will solve their problems.

Latest Update from the Field
Matching grant opportunity – Please support Seva Mandir
By Poonam - Friends of Seva Mandir, November 11, 2009 04:35 PM
We wanted to let you know about an exciting opportunity that we are participating in through our partners, Global Giving. A donation made to any of our projects, on Global Giving between November 10 and December 1, will be matched.
Total donations up to $2,500 will be matched at 30%. Donations in the range $2,501 - $7,500 will be matched at 40%. Donations above $7501 will be matched at 50%. However, please note that only donation amounts below $500 will be eligible for matching – any donation above $ 500 will come to us, and make us more eligible for bonus awards but without the matching amount. SO GIVE MORE – GET MORE!
And if we raise the most money or get the most donations, we are eligible for bonus awards. First place for both categories will each receive $5,000, second place in each will receive $3,000 and third place in both categories will each receive $1,000.
Seva Mandir’s page at Global Giving lists 7 projects. Please see http://www.globalgiving.com/dy/v2/content/search.html?q=seva+mandir
Matching funds are limited, so we request you to act as quickly as possible. You can give and also persuade friends and family to give. Minimum donation is $10 and donations are tax-deductible!
Would you consider giving and also sharing this email with others?
Thank you for anything that you are able to do to support Seva Mandir.
With Greetings for the season,
Seva Mandir
