| Project Description | The Missing Awareness and School Safety Program (MASSp) is an adolescent-centric initiative that equips young people with the knowledge and skills to prevent abuse, exploitation, and unsafe situations. In 2024–25, with the support of funds raised through the Tata Marathon (25,000 Rs), we reached 62 adolescents aged 13–16 years from government and low-income schools in Kolkata. Over a 3–4 month period, the program delivered interactive modules on prevention of child sexual abuse, exploitation, cyber safety, puberty, gender, and consent using art, storytelling, games, and audio-visual tools. | |||||||||||||||
