Overview<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

The Urban Health Resource Centre (UHRC) works with slum communities to better inform them on issues of health, nutrition, infection prevention, understanding of government services, schemes of various government departments and how they can be availed. The objective is to ensure that demand for better health services emerges from the community itself with better knowledge.\u202f\u00a0
The focus of the Urban Health Resource Centre\u2019s (UHRC) efforts is not only improving health outcomes in underprivileged communities but also building foundational human capacity. UHRC\u2019s social facilitators work consistently with the women and\u00a0children\u00a0groups in the slums of Indore and Agra to strengthen and deepen\u00a0self-confidence, build\u00a0self-esteem\u00a0and instil confidence to enable them to demand their rights.\u202f\u00a0
A key component of the UHRC\u2019s program is building competence and confidence among the under-privileged communities to better negotiate with officials for their entitlements and the services due to them. For instance, women\u2019s groups and children’s groups are taught how to write, submit (with a proof of receipt) community requests and petitions, reminders. They are encouraged to maintain a paper trail and thus learn to negotiate\u00a0skillfully\u00a0and tactfully.\u202f\u00a0
The emphasis of the efforts is to negotiate with officers and politics based on evidence and to demonstrate the \u2018how to do\u2019 of actions.\u202f\u00a0
These capacities built over time develop into a kind of non-perishable competence which grows with time and efforts among the women\u2019s and children\u2019s groups across the more than 400,000 vulnerable population in the slums of Indore and Agra. Through these skills slum communities\u00a0are able to\u00a0demand and access services such as healthcare, vaccination, care of pregnant women, paved streets, drains, electricity connections, water supply and sewerage systems. The\u00a0spill over\u00a0effects\u00a0mean\u00a0that sometimes communities living even beyond the UHRC program area benefit from these efforts.\u202f\u00a0

“Our team was taken into slums and met with women\u2019s groups. These women were as strong and resolute as I\u2019ve ever seen. (In fact, I asked myself throughout my time in Indore if I, given the same circumstances as these families, could not only endure these conditions, but even hope to positively work to organize, save, protest\u2026 all the while keeping the family unit intact.) It\u2019s amazing to see the power of the human spirit in such places. “<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n

“I interviewed the women\u2019s groups about their efforts to build a bridge in their\u00a0basti. The women\u2019s groups were very involved in making a bridge for their\u00a0community\u00a0so children do not have to cross unhygienic water during the rainy\u00a0season to school. With their dedication and efforts, the women and all the other members of the\u00a0basti\u00a0contributed small donations and built a temporary bridge until the government officials accept their request for a permanent bridge. A true story of the women\u2019s resilience, confidence and commitment to improving their community!”<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Among my most enduring memories from observing UHRC\u2019s programme were the changes I saw in individual women involved with the programme. I remember noting how quiet one women\u2019s group member was in the first meeting I observed after arriving in Indore; she was too meek to speak in front of the group. When I saw this same woman again towards the end of the year, she was among the more assertive members of the group and had even taken on a leadership role.\u202f”<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-gutentor-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-747","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/747\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1134,"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/747\/revisions\/1134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhrc.in\/uhrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
