About This Cause
The PRAJNA FOUNDATION, since 1994, has been providing slum children & women with the tools to escape the cycle of poverty through education and vocational training. Our special focus is on the young girls. Initiatives & Impact: We have touched more than 150,000 lives and made a difference to about 40,000 people in the last 25 years of our service to humanity in the field of Girls Education, Women Empowerment, Gender Equality and Art & Culture. Kindly visit https://prajnafoundation.in/ for more information. KOSHISH (Effort): We have successfully isolated the children from the negative influence of the surrounding and provided shield from drug peddlers, traffickers and criminals. We have succeeded in mainstreaming the slum children in the vicinity, from meagre 5% in 2001 to almost 100% in 2010. School drop outs have reduced with better academic results. Many of them have started scoring more than 80% with limited infrastructure and facilities. We also highlight environmental issues as part of our program. There is visible and remarkable impact on behavioural changes of the children. They have become less aggressive and more positive towards life. NAARI SHAKTI (Girl Power): When a girl’s education is cut short, she becomes far more vulnerable to the threats of early marriage and abandonment, early pregnancy, domestic abuse, sexual exploitation, trafficking, etc. To protect uneducated girls from these threats, we conduct self-defence and gender sensitisation workshops. We skill them at our vocational training centres and also support them financially for their upskilling at specialised institutions. About 5000 women, who have gone through these training programs, have been able to gain employment and support themselves. VIRASAT (Heritage): Besides doing regular workshops and events at slums, we also organize cultural events in prominent auditoriums which has generated interest of the youth in our culture. We use this medium to showcase our efforts and motivate people to support the underprivileged children.
