AVM for Flourish
AVM works in the rural villages by forming small Community Organizations known as FLOURISH units. AVM discusses with the Flourish leaders about various challenges in their villages and formulates action plans. The following are a few of our work areas:
Contextualized Education
One of the reasons of backwardness, superstitions and exploitation in the rural areas of India is lack of education. Researches show that there are serious compatibility issues between the children and the present education system. Medium of instruction not being their mother tongue is a major challenge of the people in such areas. To tackle this crisis we make contextual learning materials known as Tri-lingual Books (TLBs) and help Flourish leaders set up “Learning For Life and Life for Learning” classes. These teaching and study materials are in three languages, including their Mother-tongue and an International Language - English.

Employment and Startups
We encourage cottage industries and small business startups to reach the goal of “Employment for All”. Small business loans and mentoring can bring changes in the attitude of people and are valuable resources for their fight against poverty and economic backwardness.

|
nourishing food
Malnutrition is a serious menace in rural areas. So we provide nourishing food believing that without nourishing food for the learners education is incomplete. Food not only fills our empty stomachs, it is also the symbol of health and wealth. It plays a crucial role in physical growth, especially brain development.

Adequate clothing And FOOTWEAR
|
|
Proper clothing is an essential part of life. It helps us face the various challenges of the places we live: insects, diseases, cold, heat, etc. By distributing new and second-hand clothing we help kids stay healthy in the adverse climatic conditions and live with dignity.
|
|
Leadership Development
|
|
We provide the Flourish leaders top class training with the help of an international consulting company. In that way we help them grow in their language skills, leadership skills, financial management knowledge, awareness of government schemes, teaching abilities, and other areas. As they grow and develop, they will lead their communities to flourish.
|
|
Culture & Sports program
We value and respect the culture and indigenous features of every tribe and every people. We promote their heritage language or mother-tongue. We encourage the children to learn ethnic music and various art forms. We conduct arts and sports programs to encourage the children to grow in their talents and skills.

|
Computer/IT education
|
|
So many incidents have been reported in which innocent people from rural areas are becoming prey to banking or ATM card scams.
So our programs are aimed at making them capable of facing such challenges and threats; and at the same time, teach them how to use computers and smart phones with internet safely and effectively.
Human traffickers and money chain frauds find rural areas as their safe havens. They take advantage of lack of information about urban business and the outside world by the rural population.
Our goal is to see our villages become “Digital Villages.”

Environmental Care
|
|
We create awareness in the villages about climate change and the reasons behind it by taking classes for the community with the help of Flourish leaders. We encourage and support tree plantation and nurture eco-friendly lifestyle in the villages. We promote the use of bio-degradable materials instead of plastic materials. Farmers are encouraged to use organic fertilizers for their crops for good health of their own family members and others.
CRISIS BASED PROGRAMS
|
|
We intervene in crisis situations like calamities or disasters to help people cope up with the adverse situation. We run Disaster Management program during those hours of panic and distress.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
