SOCIETY OF STUDENT AGAINST POVERTY

1-Hamyarie Mah (Monthly Cooperation): in this program, firstly, we find, recognize and monitor the condition, problems and the level of poor families who are living in slum. Then according to the problems and needs of each family the required contributions are provided for families. For most of families, we prepare monthly basic raw edible material in order to support the children who are in danger of malnutrition. Since now there are more than 150 families who in coverage of our society in Tehran and outskirts, Kermanshah, Shiraz and Zabol
In addition, every year in Ramadan, the society implements a program named Koche Gardane Ashegh. Through this program, the society provides raw food and sanitation materials, which is enough for one month per family, to more than 5000 poor families all over Iran. Every year, this program is funded by donator companies and individuals. This program enables us to have close contact with poor families to find more about their real status and problems.

2- Iranian Home:
Iranian Home is a house in one of the poorest district of Tehran (Molavi) established 5 years ago. In the last year, we commenced the plans and initiations of establishment of three other Iranian Home in Kermanshah, Zabol and Shiraz. In Iranian home we identify and monitor the status, problems and the level of poor families living in surrounding areas. The summery of activities and programs which have carried out in Iranian home last year comprises in:

a. Monitor and control health conditions of covered families by offering regular check up for children. In case of seeing any serious diseases they will be referred to specialists, and hospitals.
b. Provide private and group counseling services for women and children of families.
c. Gather education status data from children of families which include information about the subjects that they are weak or their talents. In addition, we offer extra classes for them to compensate weakness especially in mathematics, science and English.

d. There is a library with more than 2000 books with a study room for children who do not have suitable place for study in their home. Most of children of families are member of this library and enjoy reading the books.
e. In this place we hold several art classes and programs in field of theatre, singing and painting. By these programs we try to increase confidence and qualification of children and help them to realize their talents.
f. In order to empowerment of women of families we provide them job training program such as sewing, wowing carpet and hair decorating. These programs increase the qualification of mothers who are the guardians of families to find a job.

 
3. Teflan: Every year we have a project about criminal and in jail children. This annual program includes fundamental study and inspection of condition and status of children in jail and their families. By making use of these studies and observations, we tried to release fellow children by paying the required atonement and accepting to support them and their families. After freedom, we provide them educational, counseling services and financial contributions.
The other side of this project is to help the children who are at risk of committing of crime and social violence in families who are under supervision and coverage of our society. In this program, firstly, we identify at risk children and then they will be provided by counselling services, sport and art classes and career support.

4- Tadrise Eshgh: Every year, the society implements an educational program. This program, which is hold two times a year before exam date of students, is aimed to provide private or group tutors for poor students who are weak in their subjects and need extra help to pass their exams. The tutors are selected from the volunteer students of universities and send to identified schools and families in slum areas.

5- Sport programs: Since now we have established four football teams from 15 years old boys and less living in under coverage districts. For each team we provided regular weekly exercise. In addition, we are planning to develop more sports programs in fields of basketball, gymnastic and martial art for both girls and boys of poor families. These activities enable us to find children’s sport talents and provide entertaining programs for them. Besides, implementing of such programs enables us to have close contact with fellow children, which helps us to discover and monitor the real problems and issues of the children.

The jury of this festival is selected from the same children. Besides, in the next part of this festival, students of universities present their paintings, photos and handicrafts in the field of social problems specially children’s issues. MORE

8- KUCHE – GARDAN – E – ASHEGH: The Kuche garden-e- Ashegh plan based on the practical behavior of Imam Ali towards being kind to orphans and supporting the dispossessed of society, has been held in Tehran and other cities in 1379. In this plan students along with the general public carry food bags needed for the identified dispossessed in the holy nights of “ GHADR” in Ramadan and take them to their houses as vow.MORE

9- Bookless Children:The Bookless Children are innocent and blameless children, who are deprived of a right which other children easily enjoy, for the crime of being born in a poor and unaware family. And with regard to the issue that these children mostly live in crime stricken and difficult areas of the cities, the likelihood of them being pulled into the chasm of different abstruse things is much higher than other children. Therefore, the attendance of these children within educational institutes must be followed up with much more effort. MORE

Safaye Say is a plan which considers supporting women every year in groups of seven (as a symbol of seven times running of Hajar) and follow up their situation until complete enforcement. MORE
