2 MEHAR BABA CHARITABLE TRUST | ANNUAL REPORT 2019

s the Financial Year 2019 /

A2020 was coming to an

end, the world plunged

into the most critical and

disastrous CRISIS it had

experienced since the Spanish

Influenza of 1918. MBCT was no

exception, each and every activity

came to a sudden halt on the 23

March 2020, when the Prime

Minister declared a nationwide

lockdown due to medical

emergency. But our brave MBCT

staff, management & volunteers

came to the fore and became the

new COVID Heroes in its area of

operations. They reached out to all

the needy people in the adopted

187 village offering Food Rations,

medicine, masks, sanitizes and all

other essentials. The brave rural

artisans of Phulkari Makers Bassi

Pathana went a step ahead and

produced PPE kits and masks for

supply to the hospitals, as there

was acute shortage of these items.

I salute all at MBCT for showing

such remarkable courage &

resilience in these difficult times.

s we struggle to combat

Athe pandemic, and look

at its after effects, the

people in 187 villages under

MBCT’s care had a great

advantage of practising and

following Covid norms, what

they had already been doing.

MBCT had initiated massive

campaign on hand-washing and

sanitization in District Fatehgarh

Saheb couple of years ago.

Children and families were

already following the hand-

washing protocol at their homes

and schools. This resulted in

better protection to the

residents of our villages in the

District.

Thanks to the villagers who

accepted MBCT’s initiative and

became partners with us.

Ajit Singh Chatha

President

nother remarkable year

Aof MBCT’s excellent

service to the people of

Fatehgarh Saheb District. We

hjave seen many corporate and

global organisations joining

hands with us to reach out to

the people in need.

Most crucial had been MBCT’s

resolve to empower the girls

and women in the area. Those

who had never stepped out of

their homes, have enriched their

own lives and that of their

families through their own

enterprises.

Nothing is more satisfying than

seeing our women becoming a

strong pillar of support for their

families, inspiring many others

to make a new beginning.

ne of the key learnings

Ofor all our friends

associated with MBCT

had been that change can be

imagined and brought about

only when the people, the

beneficiaries, become partners

in the mission. And it is very

satisfying that MBCT had been

able to achieve it.

Over the years, MBCT has

become a part of the lives of

every villagers. They have

discovered a new mentor in the

Trust who can help them and

lead them to a better way of

living.

And we feel blessed. As our

father used to say, we are

blessed that these villages have

given us the opportunity to be

of use to them.

Har Haath Hunar, Har Ghar Khushi

ince its inception, MBCT had an avowed objective to

Sempower women, who had remained tied to their hearths.

Young girls dropped out of school for various reasons, the

primary one being the patriarchal mind-set of the people to keep

them engaged in domestic chores only. Education was their

least priority and making them work was taboo. This barrier is

broken as has the faith of the people grown over years of service

by MBCT.

MBCT has shown them the way and brought girls to its well-

equipped Centre in Bassi Pathana, to teach them newer skills

and make them self- reliant.

“I thank MBCT for providing me an opportunity to get enrolled in th course of Cutting & Tailoring”. I got to learn many new techniques of stitching which I did not know earlier. I got a chance to experiment various types of clothing and lean their stitching techniques. I started to work on some production order works for Phulkari Makers BassiPathana in between my training program. After the course, I am now able to apply these new methodologies in my daily job works. This has helped me to increase my capacities and hence increase in my monthly income Me and my family are very happy and thankful for this course.” – Kamaljeet Kaur
