Projects

What do we do?
We work for the marginalized population of India through NGOs in India. We believe that these NGOs are more representative of the people they serve and have more success in implementing developmental projects.

How do we do it?
At AID, We primarily provide financial support and expertise to NGOs based in India that are streamlined with our result-oriented mission and vision. Our volunteers actively solicit project proposals from these NGOs, thoroughly evaluate the projects and finally help raise funds for these NGOs to implement them.

Proposals that are approved by a majority vote are assigned to a team lead by a Project Coordinator. It is the sole responsibility of the Project Coordinator and his team to ensure successful implementation of the project as well as rigorously evaluate and monitor the progress of the projects funded by AID.

How do we evaluate and approve project proposals?
Our volunteers actively interact with the NGOs to gather information about the solicited projects . NGOs are evaluated based on their mission and vision, project planning and development skills, the quality of implemented projects and their credibility and commitment to communities they represent.

Individual Projects, on the other hand are evaluated based on the nature and scope of the proposed developmental activity, the need and its feasibility in the community.

How do we monitor the success of our Projects?
Volunteers return to India periodically to promote the work done by AID and to evaluate programs that we support. Our activities have significantly increased the active involvement of people in India towards the cause of self-development. It has helped NGO’s in developing programs that truly benefit under-privileged Indians.
