Networking:-
We network with following institutions.

flesh trade.
2. Various schools in Nagpur and Mansar.
3. Thiripude College of Social Work
4. Hospitals in Nagpur for placement of Nursing Assistant of students
for practical training.
Counseling and guidance to young women rescued from flesh trade was
organized for the inmates of Karuna. One of our sisters visits karuna
regularly every week to council, guide and animate the inmates of
Karuna. On an average they were about 50 women every month. Through
various methods like songs storytelling and role plays, various values
were in culcated in them so that they can think of a different way of
life and live with dignity as women and give up Flesh trade. Some of
them responded positively.
Thirupude College of Social Work placed 4 MSW Part I students for field
work at Vishwodaya. They were guided and animated to take up community
building programmes in the slums of Nara and Lourdes Matha Nagar.
About 40 widows were animated and oriented to make their life more
pleasant and positive. they are encouraged to form Self Help Groups(SHG)
. One group of 20 widows is functioning very well as SHG. Seeing the
improvement in their group other widows are coming forward. They have
regular animation and follow up programs. Another group of daily wage
earners are being formed as SHG. All of them attend the regular meetings
and are being empowered as group to face the challenges of their life
and support each other. We also help the widows to get the widow’s
pension under the Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar yojana.
SUPPORT OF HIV+ WIDOWS AND CHILDREN:-
Aware of the struggle and helplessness of HIV+ women and children (who
have lost one parent and some lost both parents), Vishwodaya started
home based support to these in the year 2011. With the support of our
benefactors we are catering to nearly 100 HIV+ cases of whom 40 to 45
are schools going children from nursery
to class 10th. We provide them school note books, copies and other
stationary needed. We
counsel and support them because most of the women live in hiding as
their relatives especially their husband’s families do not accept them.
We provide them monthly ration of food grains, homemade herbal tonic and
protein powder that are prepared by us at Vishwodaya. Dr. Khandker
attends to them and treats them with Homeo medicine. All these support
increases their CD4 and improve their immune system. The women take
house hold job to support themselves. We help them to get the financial
assistance provided by the Government under Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar
Yojana. We celebrate 8th march international Women’s day and Christmas
with them. Once a year they are gifted with a set of clothes. All
these little gestures give the HIV cases a sense of being wanted and
cared for and we are
happy to see the smile on their faces as they live with hope and
dignity.
SCHOOL COUNSELING:-
One of our sisters from Vishwodaya spent three days a week with the
students of providence girls High school Nagpur to council the students
to cope with different challenges they face in life as teens. sister
visits their parents in their Homes to enable and guide them to support
their daughters in their crises. During the year she has counseled and
helped the moral and psychological growth of more the 500 students and
enables them to concentrate on their studies and solve their teenage
crises.
CELABRATIONS:-
Vishwodaya celebrates the common festivals like deepaweli , girls
children’s day , Staff Day, National days August 15th , 26th January
