- For
the villagers life has suddenly changed. Now they
have hope, and the children can go to school, says
Madhav Nene, manager of the relief organization CASP,
Ragid region. |
CASP
(Community Aid and Sponsorship Program) is a national
Indian organization supported by NORAD (Norwegian Organization
for Reconstructing and Development). Fadderbarnas Fremtid,
a Norwegian relief organization, works closely with CASP
in India. Funds raised by horse racing is canalized to
India and CASP by Fadderbarnas Fremtid.

and CASP spend little money on administrative work. In fact,
Terje Paulsen, founder of Fadderbarnas Fremtid, was imposed
a raise for his work. Enthusiasm and the joy of helping
others is what drives these people.
HOUSES FROM INTEREST
6-7 % of CASP funds
are used for administrative tasks, whereas most relief organizations
in India use 12-13%. We want the money we receive to be
spent on the objective.
The money we receive
from NORAD is deposited into a bank account in the beginning
of the year. The interest from the deposit is used for building
houses.

In India, running water is
no matter of course. The liquid luxury is greatly
appreciated by the villagers in Ranshet wadi.
