PHILOSOPHIES OF MORR FOR DEVELOPMENT
PARTICIPATION OF PEOPLE
MORR, as a development agent, aims at promoting the principles of participatory development at all levels of its programs. Accordingly, working with Community Based Organizations (CBOs), MORR adheres to the philosophy that no development program and strategy can fully achieve its target without a meaningful and democratic participation of the people. This “participation of people” can only be achieved through broad based, self-sustaining and development oriented institutions at the community level.
HELPING PEOPLE HELP THEMSELVES
MORR follows the policy of helping people helps themselves. It believes that sustainable development policies can only be those, which create sustainable organizations that can manage to implement the policies in the manner that their benefits remain even after the external funding is over. MORR also believes that the dream of economic growth and stability as well as sustainable development can only be realized through social mobilization and resource management. Therefore, it tries to motivate, mobilize and organize people for improvement of their standards of living and by managing available natural resources in a proper and effective way.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT & CHILD RIGHTS
MORR believes that women and children are the most unprivileged classes of the society. Being physically weaker, they are at greater risk. Therefore, it organizes every activity in such a way that can benefit maximum number of women and children. MORR aims at addressing major women health needs, including primary and reproductive health needs (antenatal, natal and postnatal care); vaccination of women of child bearing age against Tetanus and EPI services provision to children. MORR also believes that income generation is the only way by which women can be dragged out of the clutches of poverty, diseases and exploitation. For this purpose, projects will be undertaken in which women of selected poor communities will be trained in different fields, which will provide them with financial support and will ensure their participation in decision-making.
