Book excerpt: Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms. It presents the Framework for Enabling Empowerment (FrEE) and the step by step strategy "Programming for Choice," based on the practical experience and evaluation of IMIFAP's programs. The end goal is to achieve sustainable community and individual development that can be expanded across a variety of life domains (social, economic, political, education, health and psychological). The book shows how community development can be enhanced if people are enabled to make accountable choices and expand their alternatives. International development efforts will not be sustainable if we continue to build schools without quality teachers; health clinics without enhancing logistical and psychological access and improving quality of care; and laws that are not enforced. Institutions will only flourish if their leaders and bureaucrats enhance their personal capabilities. The central premise of the book is that enhancing skills, knowledge and reducing psychological and contextual barriers to change are central (and often neglected) aspects of sustainable development. IMIFAP was founded in 1984. Through its health promotion and poverty reduction work it has reached over 19 million people in 14 countries through over 40 different programs and over 280 educational materials with support from over 300 funding agencies and government and private institutions. Its mission is to enable society's poor and vulnerable to take charge of their lives through helping them develop their potential. We have found that through the IMIFAP "I want to, I can" programs people take the control of their lives in their own hands. Examples of these results are presented including numerous testimonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The weight of history hangs heavy on some families. Poverty, like a stubborn vine, can wrap itself around generations, constricting opportunities and dimming dreams. It's a relentless force, shaping lives before they even begin, whispering limitations in the ears of children, and casting a shadow over their futures. This book isn't about resignation. It's about rebellion. It's about tearing down the walls that poverty builds and claiming the inheritance that should be every child's birthright: the inheritance of opportunity. Generational poverty, the persistent cycle of economic hardship passed down through families, is a complex and deeply rooted problem. It's not a matter of personal failing; it's a systemic web of obstacles that can feel insurmountable. Limited access to quality education, low-wage jobs with little chance for advancement, the burden of debt - these are just some of the threads that bind families in poverty. The consequences are far-reaching, impacting health, education, and overall well-being, not just for the present generation but for generations to come. But amidst the hardship, there are glimmers of hope. Individuals with unwavering determination have broken free from the cycle. Innovative programs are making a difference. Communities are coming together to create pathways to a brighter future. This book is a testament to that hope. It delves into the root causes of generational poverty, but more importantly, it explores the solutions.

Download or read book Breaking the Cycle written by Nancy Brown Diggs and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking the Cycle tells the inspiring story of young people whom many would write off as a lost cause but who, thanks to a remarkable school, are headed for success. We learn about their world from teens like Shawna, the daughter of a crack-addicted mother. Or Andre, the only one in his family not on drugs. Or Daron, kicked out of his home by an abusive father. Challenged by the pernicious factors of their environment—drugs, violence, fatherless homes, and poor educational backgrounds—students at the Dayton Early College Academy are nevertheless beating the odds. All are headed for college, from which the vast majority will graduate. The book reveals how this school is succeeding when so many fail. It conveys the hopeful message that others can replicate much of what “DECA” does and save a generation mired in despair. America’s failure to educate its urban children is evidenced by our woeful statistics. If it is possible to turn around this bleak picture—and it is—this is a story well worth telling. And this is what Breaking the Cycle aims to do. For more information on the book, including interviews with the author please check out www.nancybdiggs.com.
Download or read book The Making of a Teenage Service Class written by Ranita Ray and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stereotypes of economically marginalized black and brown youth focus on drugs, gangs, violence, and teen parenthood. Families, schools, nonprofit organizations, and institutions in poor urban neighborhoods emphasize preventing such "risk behaviors." In The Making of a Teenage Service Class, Ranita Ray uncovers the pernicious consequences of concentrating on risk behaviors as key to targeting poverty. Having spent three years among sixteen black and Latina/o youth, Ray shares their stories of trying to beat the odds of living in poverty. Their struggles of hunger, homelessness, and untreated illnesses are juxtaposed with the perseverance of completing homework, finding jobs, and spending long hours traveling from work to school to home. By focusing on the lives of youth who largely avoid drugs, gangs, violence, and teen parenthood, the book challenges the idea that targeting these "risk behaviors" is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Ray compellingly demonstrates how the disproportionate emphasis on risk behaviors reinforces class and race hierarchies and diverts resources that could support marginalized youth's basic necessities and educational and occupational goals."--Provided by publisher.
