For the last twenty five years, CORP (Community Outreach Programme) has been in the business of teaching people to fish. Or, in other words to fend for themselves. At CORP, we believe that self-sufficiency and not dependency is the key to a life of dignity and self-respect. This is the belief that gave birth to CORP and is the common thread that binds all its activities through the last two decades. Beginning with three staff members and a four year grant from the World Hunger Project of Methodist churches in Southern Asia, CORP has grown to a staff strength of more than one hundred today. Its programmes focus on one of the most deprived and neglected sections of society - the slum dwellers of Mumbai. Activities stretch from Kaner near Virar to Dharavi, Jogeshwari, Kurla, Matunga, Thane, Ambemath... all the way to Talegaon. CORP's dedicated staff is often drawn from very communities they serve which means they can better understand and empathize with the problems of the people they work with. In fact, CORP owes most of its achievements to its team of committed and trained individuals. They have worked tirelessly to improve conditions in the slums where health, education, and poverty are some of the fundamental issues that CORP has chosen to tackle head-on.
MISSION STATEMENT Give a man a fish and he will live for a day. Teach him to fish and he will live a life time. CORP's vision is one of marching towards a holistic development of the underprivileged children, women, youth and senior citizens of our society. Our focus is on providing education to children, health care facilities to the children and senior citizens, empowerment of women by making them economically independent and providing conditions, which facilitate this process. CORP believes that self-sufficiency and not dependency is the key to a life of dignity and self-respect. This is the belief that gave birth to CORP and is the common thread that binds all its activities. |
