What People Say About TDH

Partnership for us is not only financial support, but actually a humane agreement of co-creation and collective responsibility for universal wellbeing. Our partnership with tdh-GIP, is a set of actions for framing dreams and goals together; we have witnessed debates, arguments, and collectiveness at different times. Tdh is an institution with empathy and that is the reason it allows us, as a partner, to think and act comprehensively and act accordingly. Why it matters? It matters, because, in Vikas Samvad we intend to design interventions not only to conduct activities but also to create a thinking base around the issues and subjects by discussing 5 Ws and 1 H (What, Where, Wo, Why, When, and How) and Tdh-GIP provides this space for collective thinking.

As an organization dedicated to the welfare and upliftment of the visually impaired, we aspire to achieve numerous impactful goals. To realize these aspirations, we continually seek the support of like-minded institutions willing to join us as our valued partners. Terre des Hommes Germany has been one such invaluable partner, playing a pivotal role in helping us provide top-tier co-curricular training to 170 visually impaired girls studying at the NFBM Jagriti School for Blind Girls. This meaningful five-year partnership has enabled our students to learn the German language and engage in complex sports like table tennis. As a result of this collaboration, many of our talented students have not only participated in competitive sports but have also successfully cleared challenging German language examinations. The timely guidance and supportive approach of Terre des Hommes Germany have been the cornerstones of our enduring relationship, empowering us to create new opportunities for our students. This has truly been one of the most enriching and impactful partnerships we have had the privilege of experiencing.

MGVS and TDH have built a strong, productive partnership over the past seven years, especially in our joint efforts to improve health and education for women and children in migrant sugarcane worker communities. TDH’s holistic and empathetic approach has been crucial in addressing real-life challenges. They don’t just look at statistics—they understand the on-the-ground realities and provide tailored solutions. Their effective and realistic approach has made a tangible difference, and we are proud of the impact we've been able to create together.
