The Impact of USAID Defunding
We recently received news from Dr Chaudhuri, founder of CINI, about the devastating impact of USAID defunding. Not only are USAID programs ceasing, but NGOs funded by American foundations and corporations are also no longer receiving support.
Dr Chaudhuri shared, “CINI has lost substantial grants from the US, including from USAID, which led to 80 of our colleagues losing their jobs overnight.” This has resulted in the closure of maternal and child nutrition programs. The loss of staff is deeply concerning, as it means the loss of expertise, knowledge, and skills built over many years at CINI.
Below is an outline of our costs and the difference your support can make:
Indian Initiative Child-Centered HIV/AIDS Approach (IICCHAA)
Each year, around 40 new HIV/AIDS-affected families join our IICCHAA program. Many are headed by grandparents caring for children orphaned by HIV, and are facing severe financial hardship. IICCHAA helps ease their burden.
Fundraising Goal: $500 per family per year.
Child Friendly Communities (CFC)
This groundbreaking program continues to make inroads into rural villages and city slums, improving the health, education, and safety of thousands of women and children. Adolescents are increasingly stepping up as agents of change.
Fundraising Goal: $7,500 per month to reach over 140 villages.
Adolescents (Ujjan)
Our dream is to restart the outstanding Ujjan program to support more than 300 young people (aged 10–18) through a safe, healthy, and empowered transition into adulthood.
Fundraising Goal: $250 per child per year.
CINI Staff
Our passionate Community Field Officers and Outreach Workers are central to the success of all our programs. They are on the ground every day, trusted and respected by the communities they serve.
Fundraising Goal: $3,500 per worker per year
Our programs require $70,000 – $80,000 each in fundraising costs every year to continue. Whilst this amount may seem a lot, these costs are put to direct and instant use.
With your help these funds support essential services that empower women, children, and families in need. Thank you for your support
CINI Australia is a registered charity with DGR status, so any donation over $2 is tax-deductible. Thank you for your support.
