Keeping Orphaned Young Adults Connected

Once children turn 18, they have to move out of the Child Care Institutes (CCIs) and have to figure a way to navigate through the complexities of life on their own.

Due to the COVID crisis, young adults (YAs) pursuing studies & in jobs have been affected in the following ways -

·  Youngsters placed in jobs have been badly impacted - It is very likely that they may lose their current jobs and may not be able to get another job for quite some time.

·  Young Adults in colleges or pursuing skill training have also been impacted because their institutions have shut down due to the lockdown which is likely to remain shut for an indefinite period

The most important impact is on the morale, self-confidence & mental health of these youngsters - they have been impacted negatively due to the uncertainty that is looming ahead of them. 

Most YAs have access to a mobile phone; however, they have very low internet connection packs.

We plan to provide them with adequate data packs to support their learning. Now more than ever, it is essential to stay connected through digital technology and resources.

With better internet connectivity, youngsters can enroll for various online courses to upgrade their skills around spoken English, personality development, soft skills, meditation, yoga, and vocational / educational courses that can keep them positively engaged during this time and help them hone their skills for better job prospects

By contributing INR 200 every month, you can help us empower 275 Young Adults! We are requesting support for a period of 5 months.
