Vision
JMFB
Always focuses on empowerment of every living being in this society through
education for all, for this purpose we want to facilitate educational
institutes.
JMFB works to
release the potential abilities, skills and knowledge of rural men and women,
to enable them to articulate their aspirations and to effectively marshal the
resources they need to meet their identified needs. The purpose is poverty
alleviation – enabling people to break the cycle of poverty, which begins with
lack of opportunity, extends to the well-known miseries of economic and nutritional
poverty and leads new generations to endure the same conditions. The process is
social mobilization – bringing people together on new terms for a common
purpose. The conceptual tools are ‘social guidance’ (recruiting local men and
women who will take on a leadership role), advocacy, capacity building and
awareness raising. The programmatic tools are training, support to
institutions, micro-credit, infrastructure development, natural resource
management and ‘productive linkages’.
Our purpose as an advocate
for the poor is to bring the concerns of economically-marginal men and women to
public consciousness and to affect policy so that the poor are brought into the
mainstream of the economy.
JMFB’s vision is
manifested in expanded opportunities for income-generation; community schools
which provide quality primary education, community owned and managed
infrastructure schemes, improved agricultural productivity, and higher returns
for labour and so on. From the widest perspective the vision is manifested as
the first stages of a transformation of civil society
