About Save A Family Plan:
Save a Family Plan (SAFP) is a Canadian-based international non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1965. SAFP is committed to seeking justice and working with the marginalized and poor of India, empowering the families and contributing to the reduction of poverty.
SAFP works in partnership with more than 50 Social Service Societies and local NGOs. It works with over 52,000 self-help groups, more than 25 institution-based rehabilitation centres and more than 19,000 families annually in India. The services are available to the physically or intellectually challenged, the elderly, destitute and the dying. Its two main programs are Family Development and Community Development.
In F2016, Save a Family Plan’s Family Development program (71% of annual program costs) provided 10,768 impoverished families in 5 states in India with monthly financial support and training to help them achieve their goals. Because of this support, 2,681 new income generation projects were started by families in the program. Families also receive assistance from program staff in applying for government programs and benefits, enabling 2,649 families to collectively access $2 million of local government resources.
The Community Development Program (29% of annual program costs) benefitted a total of 549,578 people between 2011-2016 in 533 villages across 12 states in India. In that period, 257,691 trees were planted, 141,387 people received access to safe drinking water, 89,664 people visited medical camps, 68,741 children accessed educational resources, and 14,989 adults received literacy training.
