| Impact | We intervened in 40 Panchayats in Karnataka by energizing Children's Village Sabhas - empowering children to identify issues that affect their lives and giving them the confidence and channel to raise the same with officials. Children raised more than 900 issues. Issues raised included securing drinking water, compound wall, fixing of toilet, start of a new bus route, and several other issues related to basic needs and rights of children which have been taken note by respective Gram Panchayat for resolution in phase manner. Reached 250 students through the Magic Box program in government school where students of grades 1-3 enjoyed learning through activities using instruction cards and props. This life skill intervention helps build confidence, love, empathy, and understanding diversity at an early age. Through the Clubs program, we reached 2040 students in Maharashtra through weekly sessions in schools. We received very heartening feedback from teachers, librarians & parents, who said that children enjoyed the activities and were keen for CMCA sessions to continue further. |
