AAMF employs a full-time staff and brings in volunteer physicians, educators, nutritionists, family planning professionals and other specialists who provide a range of services and operate a litany of programs that enable children and their mothers to receive proper education, nutrition, medical treatment and the opportunity for a healthy and productive life.

AAMF offers four distinct, fundamental services for children and their mothers: 

1) Basic education program   

The AAMF education centers offer regular classes and ongoing tutoring for children. These centers provide the following: 

• Non-formal education to help prepare children for regular schooling 

• Tutoring and coaching after children have transitioned into government-run schools 

• School supplies including stationery, backpacks, books and notebooks 

• Extra-curricular activities and field trips

The education centers also offer adult literacy classes for the children’s mothers. By providing regular classes to women without access, initiative or funding for formal education, AAMF empowers them through these programs to establish a better life for themselves and their children.    

 2) Nutrition program
    
 Once every 4-6 months AAMF education centers invite nutritionists to come in and lecture mothers on how to nourish their children based on what food is available to them. This nutrition education program, involving dietary information workshops, teaches mothers to identify and prepare food that is nutritious and inexpensive, and to learn healthy and sustainable eating habits.

 As part of this nutrition program, AAMF also provides financial support to mothers so they can adequately nourish their children with food and dietary supplementation.
  
 3) Health care program
     
 Once a week a volunteer physician visits the education centers, providing medicines, vaccinations, information and other medical services for children and their mothers. Additionally, workshops and discussions are offered to help educate mothers on the importance of basic health care for themselves and their children.   

Due to the very low awareness of basic health care in impoverished areas, the AAMF health care program aims to supply underprivileged mothers and their children with vital access to medical services, facilities and information.  
 
Participant Demographics  
   
The people that AAMF aims to assist include children and mothers living in slums and impoverished areas, and those that have neither the money, resources or initiative to obtain proper nutrition, medication and education.  

AAMF goes door to door in these areas to identify children who are not being schooled. The field staff encourages and prompts these children and their mothers to begin an informal schooling program at one of the organization’s education centers.

AAMF feeding centers offers food to poorest of the poor everyday. AAMF feeds over 700 people in different slums/villages in Delhi. Currently AAMF has 10 feeding centers which serve food to children, old and who would have little or no food to sustain themselves. We provide nutritious hot meal consisting of rice, cereal and vegetable. This ensures that what we give to the poor is the highest quality food. Here are a few photos of the villagers/children from the village and the recent food distribution.

AAMF runs free English classes (FEC) at Vasant Gaon, Okhla and Sunder Nagari. Each FEC helps to study English grammar and vocabulary. Free lesson plans focus on building conversational skills. These lessons are meant for the beginners as well as for those in the advanced level. It is also open to all the youngsters, employees as well as non employees at free of cost. The FEC classes are going on from morning 6AM to 11 P.M. Presently over 900 students are attending these classes.  We have planned to start new centers in other parts of Delhi. Besides this, special classes were held for AAMF teachers on Saturdays.

This programe is continuing in every Friday. This is an activity, based on cleaning the surrounding area of the NFE centers. Through this programe the children spread the awareness of healthy living and keep their surrounding clean.

Shihani is a slum, 15 km. away from Bhapura in Gaziabad. The residents of this slum have been rendered homeless by a devastating fire. AAMF took initiative to help these homeless people.  It was difficult to open a feeding center here as there is no pacca house in this place. All live in tents. Chintan (an NGO) had been distributing food there. We had started feeding center with the help of Chintan Staff from 27 April 2011. We cooked 25 KG rice and 12 kg vegetable for 20 days till the slum dwellers were resettled.
