WOMEN WELFARE: - A Working Women’ Hostel established since 1986, serves the low income group who can hardly afford to pay exorbitant rent in private houses in Shillong. They come from an interior of East and west Khasi Hills, Jaintia Hills and Ri Bhoi Districts of Meghalaya besides other ethnic group from outside state , viz Mizos, Nagas etc. The Hostel which extends its services on a no profit no loss basis, i.e charging very nominal rates, can accommodate upto 85 – 90 inmates and strict discipline is maintained under the supervision of a Hostel Warden. It is located at Mission Compound. 3. PREVENTION OF DRUG ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM: - Drug addiction has become global phenomenon. At the same time, alcoholism is also a rampant in our State. As such, to combat this menace, a Counselling Centre known as NEW HOPE DE- Addiction cum Counselling Centre at Central Ward, Shillong. The Centre has 15 beds and is giving free treatment to chemical dependent who come and register themselves for counselling, awareness and rehabilitation . The Centre also run an HIV/AIDS cell in the centre with a full Field Worker to conduct awareness programmes on the basics of HIV/AIDS and preventives measures. The centre has also a branch mainly focus to Female Sex Worker (FSW) infected with HIV/AIDS known as SAINDUR THYMMAI, at Nongpoh Ri Bhoi District. As we look to the Child welfare the girls home needs a kitchen to be extended as the old one is very congested and as for the boys need a repairing repainting of the home and many more. The New Hope De-addiction center need a building to be newly constructed. THE KJP ASSEMBLY SELDA NEED FUNDS FOR THE PROJECTS Child Care – The AW. Thomas Girls Home are in much need of a proper kitchen as the present kitchen are congested, Staff quarters the home are run by the Home Superintendent no proper staff quarter for them, proper Fencing the home are in much needs for security of the home and Extension of building. The William Lewis Boys Home need a proper drinking water storage, Extension of building Fencing. WOMEN CARE :- The KJP Assembly SELDA though run a hostel for the youth and working women in our area and it has been a great help to them but as per the needs that we see in the society is the elderly group of people where by some of their relatives are look and some are taking care by the churches and some have to work for their living so as the association want to spread our help to them and would be a great help for them as to start these we needs fund in order to help them. YOUTH CARE De- Addiction Centre cum Counselling Centre :- As we have brief above that the KJPA SELDA run a counselling centre, and are being one of the oldest Deaddiction Centre in Meghalaya but as of now the centre are in much needs of the new building. The KJP Assembly SELDA have a future plan to set up a De- addiction centre for women as there is no such kind of centre in Meghalaya to cater the women. The Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Assembly SELDA, being people oriented, is always committed to the task of building up and a well knit society through its different project, helping the people of different areas. But the KJPA SELDA in order to cater the needs of these Projects needs a huge amount of funds even though as of now it runs through the donation of the Wells wisher. So on behalf of the KJP Assembly SELDA request your firm to please
