The American India Foundation, New York Young Professionals Chapter, is hosting their annual kick off party, Your Voice for the Cause, on Tuesday, November 10^th at Hudson Terrace. During this event, network with young professionals and help the foundation chose their new initiative for the 2009/2010 fiscal year. 

With the goal of accelerating social and economic change in India, NYYPC has focused on engaging and educating young professionals about the work AIF is doing in India.  Last year the group invited area young professionals to voice their opinion on the 2008-2009 AIF funding initiative. Based on consensus, NYYPC identified the Apna Clinic, an Urban Health Center for sustained improvement in reproductive, maternal and child health in the slums of Mustafabad in Delhi.

The group now wants your help to decide this year’s initiative.  The choice for next year is between three NGOs – Anudip, Saath and Nidan.  Anudip creates livelihood opportunities for the impoverished by funding and shaping rural training centers that develop skilled professionals and entrepreneurs.  Saath makes human settlements more equitable living environments by running programs focused on capacity building, health, education, physical infrastructure improvement, access to resources and services, slum development and natural resource management.  Nidan develops institutions and processes that eliminate exploitation and provide opportunities for fuller growth to unorganized/migrant workers, street vendors, waster pickers, and other informal sector workers.

Don’t miss the chance to voice your choice for this year’s cause!
