    This dimension of building resilience is the future way-post 2015 Post -2015 Frame work. We all, who are deeply committed to the cause of empowering people have to decipher signals that funds to organize events at local level have to be with partnership of local people not depending on out side agency support or governments alone The people have to be motivated to be partners in their RIGHT TO LIFE SECURITY in disasters.This approach had made it possible for Saritsa Foundation to reach to people every week,every month and every in past 13 years with little support from funding organizations and governments.It has been the passion for the team members of Saritsa foundation. A practice which has a potential for replication when funding resources are drying up.

    Good morning Friends. I as Director General of Saritsa Foundation have been advocating and practicing People centered ,People led and People owned dimension of building Safety Culture and Resilience since 5 June 2000.People are most important stake holders to minimize risk and it has to be supported by local governments and outside organisations. The people themselves have to learn to invest in raising awareness,knowledge building, training and sustaining it .It sensitizes their role,duty and accountability to build capacity to protect. The power of awareness of people invariably results in self-confidence and faith in the limitless potential of people which can be activated through development of will power and " WE WILL PREPARE" attitude.Saritsa Foundation has mainstreamed societal organizations,school,college, university organizations, religious,political forums, youth,women, girls,disabled,hospital services employees to support us and be partners to build capacity.

    and speak with confidence that they will make family disaster management plans to protect lives and means of livelihood with guidance provided by Saritsa Foundation. Sex worker women of Malwanni Nagar Mumbai could use the local resources and skills developed by the team members of Saritsa Foundation to protct in floods of 2005 in Mumbai. It is most important humanitarian aid dimension where people learn to develop science of Safety Culture and Resilience- A RIGHT TO LIFE SECURITY yet, least emotive for donors and others to sensitize it. Point of importance here to be taken care is taking disaster risk reduction mission to local people and seeking there willing partnership, making them recognise the role and responsibility to build capacity is their duty also. Local goverments have to be bsupporters in this mission and not drivers for the mission as sole owners of DRR. This change of heart and mind is going to be way forward for future.
