HIV/AIDS
The Human Immuno Deficiency virus (HIV), which causes Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), has brought about a global epidemic far more extensive than many other killer diseases like malaria, tuberculosis and diarrhoea, which are preventable and curable. All over the world, HIV/AIDS is causing devastation - destroying communities and families and taking away hope for the future. In the absence of a cure, and in most cases in the absence of adequate treatment, HIV/AIDS diminishes or destroys quality of life before it takes away life itself.
Disaster Response
CYSD’s understanding of Disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources, is a result of the conditions of vulnerability present, and the insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences. In making efforts to facilitate the process of building disaster resilience of vulnerable communities in their access to entitlements before, during and after major disasters in Orissa, CYSD’s disaster response programme intervenes at four phases of providing relief, restoration, reconstruction, rehabilitation and preparedness to reduce disaster risks and vulnerability through shared understanding and coordinated action. It develops appropriate disaster and mitigation strategies, and strengthens multi-stakeholder partnerships for emergency response and sustainable rehabilitation.
Child Rights
Disrupted migrating families, accumulated family debts passed from one generation to the next, lack of educational facilities, ineffective government policies and many other factors combine to make children extremely vulnerable in the project locations.
Health & Sanitation
The health status of the communities in remote areas of Odisha where CYSD works is extremely poor, marked by high infant and maternal mortality rate, low immunisation coverage, a high prevalence of malnutrition among children, and a high incidence of malaria. A substantial number of these villages suffer from scarcity of safe drinking water. Sanitation facilities are generally limited or non-existent therefore unhygienic living conditions are commonplace and compound the overall health problem. CYSD undertakes a range of preventative and curative activities in the project locations.
Gender
Gender is the socially constructed roles of men and women that are learnt through a process of socialization and through culture of the society concerned. Throughout their life, gender is reinforced by parents, teachers, peers and society.
