Part 2: ASSESSING NEEDS
1. What need(s) are you addressing?
Our organization aims at addressing the needs of those children and adults
who are orphan; poor; disabled; addicted to drugs or all of them. The needs of
such children could be:
 Need for food, water, and shelter, including healthy and safe living
conditions.
 Need for protection of basic fundamental rights like the right to life, right to
education, etc.
 Need to live their life with respect, equality, and dignity.
 Need for proper health and early childhood educational facilities.
 Need for protection from mental, physical or sexual harassment.
 Need for rehabilitation and proper counseling.
 Need for protection from child labor and trafficking.
2. How do you know and why are you passionate about it?
According to a recent report of the National Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), there were around 68 child deaths in the last 5
years due to assault or undetermined intent (NSPCC, 2019). Some reports
also show that over 4.5 million children in the UK are living in poverty where
they do not have equal opportunities and protection like other children (Patrick
Butler, 2018). Not only this, there are around 800,000 children who are
disabled and are below the age of 16 (DLF, 2017).
These statistics are not just numbers; it is the suffering and pain of those
children who need love and care from society. These numbers motivate our
organization to serve these underprivileged children and guiding them
towards a better way of life so that they can live their life with integrity and
dignity and contribute to our society. Our organization is completely dedicated
to fulfilling the basic needs of these children and strives towards improvising
such conditions prevailing in the society as a whole.

parents
 Children employed as child labor.

PART 3: ACTIVITIES
1. What do you plan to deliver?
Our organization aims to deliver the following services and results to society:
 Providing quality education along with moral and ethical guidance so that
they can implement these in their day-to-day activities to live their life with
dignity without causing harm to other people and their surroundings.
 Providing children with proper facilities for food, clothing, and shelter. It
will also include healthy living conditions where they can grow and
explore new things around them to nourish their lives (Daughty and
Williams, 2017).
 For adults who have been addicted or exposed to drugs, we will provide
them with rehabilitation and other recreational activities which will help
them to control their addiction and lead to a healthy life.
 Special education for the disabled children who are encountering
difficulties to access the facilities provided to other children.
2. Where will your project take place?
It will take place in such areas like village or slums near Highgate, where children
do not have adequate opportunities and resources to lead a healthy and quality life.
Also, this project will cover such areas where people including adults are highly
exposed to drugs or other illegal substances. The project will be also promoted to
schools and college to encourage students to join our project and touch as many
lives as it can. Once our objectives are achieved, our organization would also be
planning to reach children beyond the areas specified in this project.
3. When do you plan to do it?
a. What is the timeline?
Generally, our project would be functional for a period of 15 months to help
the poor and orphan children and also those adults who are exposed to drugs and
4

other illegal substances. Apart from this, it will also strive to touch as many lives as it
can post the timeline of the project i.e. 24 months.
b. What is the proposed start date? (Allow for at least 10 weeks of
processing the application).
In the first week of May, we will be applying for applications for funds
and donations and after receiving adequate funds, we will be calling
out for the applications for the teachers or volunteers who are willing to
work for this project (Tempel et al, 2016).
4. How will the work be done?
First of all, the members of our project will be investing a lump sum amount to
start our project. After that, we will be inviting applications for funds and
donations from people who are willing to help the children which our project
aims at. After receiving adequate funds or donations, we will be inviting
applications for the volunteers and teachers who will be assisting the children
and helping them to develop their overall personality and confidence
(Heyman, 2016).
5. Are there any legal requirements you need to meet in setting up and
delivering the project?
The legal requirement that would be needed to meet up by our organization

ensuring that the organization is not involved in any illegal work
which may cause harm to the people associated with it.

organization and to record the number of members working for it

(MacQuillin and Sargeant, 2018). Any person, willing to work for the organization
shall depict the skills such as caring, understanding, willingness to work and help,
giving their best for the recreation of children and adults so that a positive change
can be brought in the society. Experienced persons would also be required to
establish a committee to closely deal with drug addicts and other special children.
2. Please make it clear whether they are volunteers or paid staff. You can
present this in a table format.
As mentioned above, there would be voluntary participation from the people
who are willing to help and improve the lives of these children who are in
need. Also, we will be appointing a committee of 5-6 members who will be
monitoring the activities and managing the administration of the entire
organization (Shafer, 2016). The committee of these people will also be
determining the requirements for funds or donations through which the needs
of the children that are being planned to fulfilled, can be fulfilled to a great
extent. Furthermore, we will also be creating a committee of such persons
who are experienced in dealing with drug addicts or abusers and also for
those children who need special care and love for their growth and
development.
