In 2001 on the land which has the training campus of I.N.E.CA. (Indo European Charitable Association) managed by Mr Joseph Abraham, we have jointly with A.N.S.M.F.I.S. and A.A.M.I., our two Franco-Swiss associations, constructed a building to serve as a training centre for technology and computing, geared for the youth of the rural areas. This training will cover three phases, Initiation to informatics, general training, then specialization. These courses will be for fees, but in the logic of our humanitarian missions, 20 % of the students will be reserved for the poor who cannot afford to pay. We must know that there are several small scale industries using informatics in the region, and the trainees from INECA will be able to find a job. In a first phase, a dozen boys and girls will follow this informatics course. Thereafter, according to the needs, we may increase the numbers.

Always at Mathagondapalli, in the southern parts of our construction, we have put up a guesthouse that can accommodate 4 persons – and this in reply to the several requests from our members and donators who would like to visit the children whom they are sponsoring in the region. We plan to increase the capacity of this guesthouse, so as to alleviate the Franciscan sisters who do not have the same facilities to lodge our visitors.

For this project, our associations have invested FRF 120’000.- over a period of two years.

We shall have to increase our capacity to receive more students in informatics, given the requests emanating from the youth of the region. Increase the size of the rooms, their numbers, buy new computers according to the number of students. Here also, we count on your help.

Thank you for joining us in this great family of donators to this project History of the project.

History of the project

Since some years our associations have acquired a piece of land of 8000 square metres on which, after having brought the facilties of water and electricity, we have built training workshops to give training for skills in mecanics, components, and for 1999 we have planned to include new branches. After 3 years, I.N.E.C.A. obtained from the Authorities the required licence. In 1998, the authorities have renewed this licence and has authorised INECA to continue other educational projects for the most disadvantaged segments of the population. We have pledged to finance the construction of part of the new training workshops, up to 4 Lakhs over 2 years, about CHF 16'750, whereas our Indian sister organisation will, on her side, find the remaining financing to complete sucessfully the project. The members of this Indian Association deserve our merit: they have every one of them, an occupation, a profession but, willing to help their neighbours to stand on their feet, they do not leave any stone unturned, to oversee and realize their solidarity for the benefit of the poor people. We are very proud to help them, and we hope that many other persons will in their turn, come to help us on this journey of solidarity where our sole benefit is to see a smile that illuminates the faces of these youngsters when they can, at the end of their training, show us their certificates. Document that will get them rapidly a job in this industrialised region of South India.

We plan to add new workshops for new disciplines: carpentry, welding, general mecanics, etc…
