25 YEARS' EVALUATION ON FIDESBack

FIDES has successfully completed its journey of 25 years. As a part of understanding its impact on the society, the management conducted 3 days of evaluation of the social development activities of FIDES, Bangalore, in the 3 areas of Bangalore(10 villages,Ulsoor,and Kaveringar) and their impact on socio-economic conditions of the target groups from 17 to 19 July 2019 .The evaluation was monitored by Mr. Shaji Zacharia the Consultant, who is having 28 years of experience in the field of social work. During the evaluation the evaluator met the SHG leaders, 2 society Board Members, Federation Members, Youth, Skill development training children, Staff, NCP groups, Tailoring students the women who were engaged in Income Generation Programmes and also Salesian Sisters House council members. As a conclusion the evaluator added that each one has to be an inspiration for others like Sr. Nancy Pereira extending their hands to the people who live in the periphery.
He was happy to find many girls who had successfully completed their studies and some others still studying M.Com and others well placed in different companies such as Del 2 earning Rs. 56,000 and Wipro. There are no illiterate children in their areas. Many have acquired the English language speaking skill. Most of the women’s groups are able to stand by themselves. So far they were depending on money lenders for their needs. Today the groups are able to give loans up to Rs, 1,00,000. Most of the women folk are going for housekeeping and earning Rs. 9000/ to 12000/ per month adding an extra income to the family. Family economical situation has improved, most of them have rebuild their own houses. 95% of the women learned to have savings. Their saving amount increased from Rs. 25/- to Rs.500/-
Mr. Shaji has also seen the challenges yet to be looked into, though economically people have improved. There is drug addiction, family disunity, infidelity in marriage, migrants problem. The people wanted the sisters to make regular family visits, to have a counselling unit, de addiction programmes, awareness programmes on the ill effects of addiction etc.
