Produktinformationen zu „Beyond Charity / Bloomsbury India (ePub)“
Oxfam has been in India for nearly seventy years-provided aid in cash and kind for those who needed it the most, supported grassroots movements and activists, and fought for the rights of the Adivasis, Dalits, Muslims and women.
Over the years, its focus has shifted to building strong communities, empowering women to smash patriarchal social norms, rehabilitate survivors of natural and man-made disasters, and make communities sustainable.
In 2008, Oxfam India became an Indian NGO, and this book takes stock of the first ten years of Oxfam India. It is the story of Oxfam India's work through stories of people - people who worked at Oxfam, people who worked with Oxfam, and people who Oxfam made a difference to.
It is a story of change told through people, rather than through economic and social theories.

Autoren-Porträt von Savvy Soumya Misra
Savvy Soumya Misra has been working on this book for the last couple of years because she believes that stories of people should be told. She also believes that the work that social sector does never really reach the general reader because it is trapped in jargonistic economic and social theories. These are stories of people that need to be told in the most simplest and lucid way possible. This is her attempt at reaching out to readers like herself!A former journalist, the trade helped her break down the complex web of information into smaller, relatable stories. She was a journalist for nearly 10 years before joining Oxfam India in 2014. She has worked with the radio (All India Radio), newspaper (The Telegraph), English news channel (CNN-IBN), fortnightly (Down To Earth) and a brief consultancy stint at Greenpeace India. She found her calling in rural reporting while working at Down To Earth, where she travelled extensively the length and breadth of the country. The transition to the development sector, thus was smooth and inevitable.
At Oxfam India, for most part she has been with the Research team, documenting its work. It's been a few months now that she has joined the public engagement team.
