Kriti is an NGO working in the Film Nagar area slums for the last 15 years. Under Project Disha, our Scholarship program for the underprivileged, Kriti has provided scholarships for over 2500 children. Most of these children are in the first generation in their families to finish 10th grade. Their parents are mostly illiterate and unable to provide proper opportunities for their children. They are also unable to navigate the career options that could possibly open up for their children as they themselves are unaware.
Along with providing scholarships, Kriti has had an active mentoring program, Project Prerana, for the children.
The mentoring sessions are being planned as follows:
• Kriti will assign 2 volunteers for each group of 5-6 children.
• The mentors would be provided all the material for each of the sessions and orientation sessions will be conducted to understand the material
• There will be approximately 2 sessions per month, on Saturdays or Sundays based on mutual available time of the students and the mentors.
• Each session will be about 2 hours long.
• Online Sessions will be conducted on Google Meet, Zoom or similar platform.
• Offline sessions (Physical session) will be at Kriti's office
• Total number of sessions: 10-12 based on the age group
• Knowledge of Spoken languages: Hindi, Telugu or Tamil is required for these sessions.
Kriti will do its best to connect children based on language of familiarity of both children and Mentors.
• We request you to commit to the mentoring sessions for the entire year as children will only develop a bond with Mentors once they are familiar.
• Total commitment time per month is 30 hours over 7 months (includes session time and prep time).
• Physical Sessions will take place in Kriti's office in Shaikpet, Hyderabad.
• All Sessions will begin in late July 2023 and end in Feb 2024
Topics will be as follows:
