Hand to some Foundation is Telangana's leading independent NGO,
which works in Telangana. It was initiated in 2009 when a group
of friends came together with the intention of giving back to
the society. Dr. Razaa Muhammed Tousif, a Philosopher &
Goldmedalist and Doctorate in Social Work (Central University in
the year 2008) he is a founder of the this NGO for
Organizational Learning who has propagated that “Sustainability,
Social Equality, Child rights, Poverty, Social Injustice
Environment, Conservation, Human Rights, Care for elderly
people, Women Empowerment, Wildlife Conservation, Animal Rights,
Sanitation and Hygiene, Humanitarian Relief, Health and
Nutrition, Literacy and Education, Refugee Crisis, Disease
Control and others and the environment are Main problems…” and
corporate leaders can’t expect governments to solve them alone.
They have changed the lives of more than 10,000 children& Widows
till February 2023.
While we run several programmes across Telugu states, we also
work in tandem with numerous government agencies, civil society
organizations, and communities across five core themes: Health &
Nutrition, Education, Child Protection, Humanitarian Response,
as well as Disaster Risk Reduction and Child Poverty.
According to the recent Economic Survey of India 2020, there has
been an increase in the number of “Missing Women” in India from 40
million as noted by Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen in 1990, to
63 million now. In addition to this, it is estimated that there are
another 21 million “Unwanted” girls in India. This figure was
arrived at by looking at the sex of last child born in a family,
which not surprisingly, was highly male skewed, clearly indicative
of parents favouring having sons over daughters. It is very likely
that these unwanted girls receive less nutrition, less healthcare
and certainly less attention towards their education as well. A
skewed child sex ratio of 914 girls to 1000 boys (3), poor female
literacy rates of 65% at the national level – a lower 46% in rural
India (3) – and only 25% of the country’s workforce reported to be
female (4) also alarming figures highlighting the grim situation of
girls in India.
The recent TAG Report (Teenage Girls Survey) (5) by Hand to some
Foundation revealed a mixed bag of results. Some of the most
heartening ones showed that 80.6% of teenage girls in India are
currently studying and 70% wish to purse higher studies. The high
aspirations of our teenage girls are also evident with the fact that
95.8% of our teenage girls are unmarried and that 74.3% girls
wanting to work after studies and have a specific career in mind.
However, survey findings brought to light some red flags linked to
the dignity and basic health of the girls – a critical finding is
that 45.6% of girls follow unhygienic menstrual practices.
“Investment in girls’ education is a matter of global and national
priority as recognised by the UN Sustainable Development Goals of
quality education and gender equality, as well as the Beti Bachao
Beti Padho campaign by the Government of India”
This is where Project Hand to some Foundation comes in, providing
underprivileged girls with the educational support they need to
break free from the limited choices that poverty offers them, and
grow up to be informed, confident and self-reliant young women.
It costs as little as INR 5400 to support the education of a girl
studying in Class 1 – 5 and INR 6000 to support the education of a
girl studying in Class 6 – 10 for an entire year.
