Charity projects supported by us

One of NASEOH’s core activities is to provide Community Based Rehabilitation support to the rural persons with disabilities. The activities are conducted in the community involving the persons with disabilities and other stake holders in the community like family members of the disabled, training personnel, formal and informal community leaders, etc. The idea is to build capacities of the identified persons with disabilities within the community and support them for income generation activities and economic independence.

Currently NASEOH is engaged in providing this support to around 1250 persons with disabilities in the age group of 18 to 40 years in 122 villages in a remote area tehsil which is located around 350 kms away from MUMBAI CITY. As part of the program, they provide the "vending stalls (kiosks)" to the severely disabled people and support them to set up their vending business in their respective villages.

2019

In 2019, Meridian Germany supported two further people with their own vending stalls in remote villages in the state of Maharashtra, India. These two beneficiaries will immensely benefit through the vending stalls to lead a life of dignity & self respect.

Charity-Project Christmas 2018

Inspired by our Indish charity-project NASEOH, we Meridian, came up with a special idea this year. We supported the Indish organization NASEOH by asking them to manufacture small hand-made pouches for us. These pouches show the peacock as the national bird of India being considered as symbol for beauty and wealth. They will be sent as a little gift together with hand painted stationary to our business partners during the Advent season. The motive of Ganesha, one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in Hinduism, adorns the letter head. In Hinduism Ganesha is known as the bearer of good luck and widely revered as

„Lord of the crowds”, „The remover of obstacles”, „The one, who gives success at work”.

It's clear that there is a connection here to direct selling.

Meridian Germany supported the organization and realization of such a “job fair” in 2013 and in 2015 with a donation.
