Catalysts for Social Action

Vulnerable children account for 170 million or 40 per cent of India’s child population. They experience difficult circumstances characterised by their specific social, economic and geopolitical situations, and need special attention.The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act) is the law that ensures children in need of care and protection are provided with necessary support, services and facilities so that they can grow up in a safe environment and become contributing members of the society.Children in need of care and protection are defined as:1. Homeless children2. Victims of child labour3. Child residing with an abusive or exploitative person4. Child residing with someone unfit or incapable of taking care of the child5. Child who either does not have parents or the parents have surrendered the child6. Child who is a victim of an armed conflict or natural calamity7. Child who is a victim or is in the imminent danger of child marriageIndia is home to approximately 30 million children in need of care and protection, probably the highest in the world. Our work spans across multiple challenging areas that come with the responsibility of providing care and protection to the vulnerable children in our country. 
 Through our institutional care channels and the tireless efforts of our teams and your support, we ensure family-like care for our children, and that they have access to healthy living conditions, good education and personal development resources along with a healthy livelihood. An estimated 2500 children live in adoption agencies and 3,70,000 live in Child Care Institutions across the country who need constant care and support.Our objectives are to:1) Enhance the quality of care provided to children in child care institutions2) Ensure Care Leavers have access to support from the Government3) Ensure children restored from CCIs are monitored and supported4) Promote and spread awareness of legal adoption and foster care5) Ensure all children facing risk are brought under the purview of state child protection mechanisms.One of our key objectives at CSA is to build the capacity of stakeholders at various levels to enhance awareness around the best child care practices and advocate to promote adoption in the country.Our work with children in CCI’sWe aim to act as catalysts by leveraging existing institutions and empowering them to improve child outcomes. These CCI’s suffer from a variety of different bottlenecks that prevent them from providing family-like care to CNCP children:<ul><li>Lack of clean facilities</li><li>Poor infrastructure, health &amp; hygiene</li><li>Resource constraints for education and aftercare</li><li>Malnutrition of children</li></ul>How we bridge the gap?<ol><li>Conduct a comprehensive gap analysis using our CCI Evaluation tool at the start of the engagement with the CCI to identify key bottlenecks and target areas for our intervention</li><li>Devise a 3-5 year engagement plan for the CCI either under our GO WIDE program or our GO DEEP program that addresses these highlighted problem areas</li><li>Roll out sub-programs under our 4 categories- Health and Nutrition, Education and Child Development, Aftercare and Livelihood and Capacity Building – custom to the needs of the CCI or our partners' thematic interventions</li><li>Weekly Monitoring and Evaluation of Program Outcomes</li><li>Yearly Evaluation of outcomes against original Objectives and Targets</li></ol>

Impact "Surabhi (name changed) lives in a Childcare Institution (CCI) in a village in Maharashtra. She is 14 years old. Her parents are farmers and have an unstable income. As they find it hard to provide for her, she lives in the Childcare Institution. The institution has enrolled Surabhi in school. This makes Surabhi the first generation in her family who is able to get an education. The CCI fulfills her basic needs. However, Surabhi had little wishes that any normal young child has.Her little wishes were a new pair of clothes for a festival and a pair of shoes. But, with the limited support that the CCI had, these had to remain unfulfilled.CSA then decided to fulfill the wishes of the children in the CCI. Surabhi received a pair of denim jeans and tee shirts. Surabhi was overjoyed at this gift. She then confessed to the caretakers that she secretly dreamt of wearing western outfits. She had never spoken to anyone about this as it seemed like a far-fetched dream that would never come true. The new clothes were sheer joy and surprise on the innocent faces of the children. She was thrilled, and her confidence grew with a small gift like new clothes.Like Surabhi, many other children at rural CCIs are eagerly waiting to receive their first sets of new clothes and footwear. These will go a long way in building their self-esteem and confidence!**You can also help poor children like Surabhi with gifts like clothes and footwear that they crave for.

Mission No child homeless

At Catalysts for Social Action, we currently work with 280 young adults who used to reside at Child Care Institutions (orphanages), of which 175 are pursuing their studies and 105 are employed. The COVID crisis has brought uncertainties beyond imagination to our Young Adults.<ul><li>35% youngsters are already facing uncertainties with their jobs. </li><li>Only 50% of them have received their salaries in April while the remaining is either delayed payment or the prospect of no income. </li></ul>Some of the businesses where they are employed may cease to exist in the coming days.Many young adults pursuing studies or working live on their own either in hostels or private accommodations and are struggling to meet their daily expenses. These young adults were just beginning to shape their lives after moving out from CCIs &amp; are now facing a new set of challenges with a deep sense of uncertainty and anguish. 
 At CSA, we are committed to support these young adults with the financial resources and support to enable them to navigate through this difficult period and either continue their studies or find new jobs. 
 Through this project, we aim to support 25 Young Adults to help cover their living expenses for the next 5 months in the absence of an income.For INR 3500 per month, a youngster will be able to cover costs around rentals, food &amp; personal essential expenses.Join us as Change Catalysts in our mission to provide these youngsters a ray of hope in navigating this crisis.

Support living expenses of orphaned youth for 5 months

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 &amp; 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 periodThe most important impact is on the morale, self-confidence &amp; 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.

Support clothes and footwear for a poor orphan child

India is home to nearly 30 million children who are in Need of Care and Protection. Out of these nearly 3,70,000* children are in Childcare Institutions.Once these children turn 18 years, they have to leave the CCI and make a life for themselves. There are an estimated 150,000 children who have to leave the CCI's every year, as they turn 18 years of age.They have no support system, no family to go back to. They are mostly orphans or children who have been subject to some form of exploitation, with no one to care for.In this situation, girls are married off by the time they turn 18 or end up into exploitative professions, and boys mostly get into very low paying jobs, as they have no guidance and skills. 
 Catalysts for Social Action provides care and support to children in Need of Care and Protection in Child Care Institutions.The Aftercare &amp; Livelihood program is a program that has been curated to look after these children once they turn 18 years and have to move out of these institutions. It aims at making youth who are preparing to leave CCIs, as well as those who have been de-institutionalized, termed as Care Leavers (CLs), self-reliant.Through this program CSA is making tremendous efforts to fill the gaps around career awareness, support for higher education, vocational trainings, life skills &amp; job placements as these children who have to move out have to making a living for themselves. We work towards making them future ready so that they can easily adapt to the world outside the institution to create successful lives for themselves.Under this program, we Empower these Young Adults by providing career counselling, livelihood training, education support and job opportunities so that after the age of 18, when they can no longer remain at the CCI, are able to earn and start building an independent life with confidence. 
 Catalysts for Social Action, through the Aftercare &amp; Livelihood program is looking to empower the youth who have lived in Child Care Institutions as children without access or exposure to the world outside.Through this campaign we are looking at changing the lives of 50 Care Leavers under the Livelihood and Aftercare program across Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha during the year 2020-2021.These Youth are the future of our nation. Building their capacity will enable multiples of change.o This program will provide an opportunity to the youth to pursue further studies, which they are, otherwise, unable to do, and therefore, aim for better prospects in the futureo We believe that instead of being employed in an unskilled and informal sector, being able to earn approx. Rs.8000-9000 per month post completion of skill training related to their broader career goals, would result in better income opportunity and bargaining power to the youth. This would make a huge difference to them over their lifetimeo Even those youth who do not get placed immediately will benefit from the training programs. It will enable them to hone many soft skills and confidence of exploring a good job, whenever requiredo Self-confidence and awareness of opportunities is very important for girls in particular and willhold them in good stead throughout their lifeOver 5 years, we have impacted the lives of 4500+ children across 87+ CCIs in 4 states. Cumulatively, we have impacted the lives of 20000+ children since 2009!Over 200 adolescents have been supported under the Aftercare for Higher education &amp; Skill training.100+ young adults placed in jobs with monthly remuneration ranging between Rs.8000 to Rs.21000.

Empowering the Youth (Care Leavers) with Skill-Based Training through the Aftercare & Livelihood program!

Close to 3,70,000 children living in 9500 Child Care Institutions (CCIs) across India have a right to living in safe, protected, hygienic environment akin to children residing with their families. However, this is not the case with most CCIs. CCIs lack the funds/resources to maintain upkeep or upgrade their facilities. On crossing 18 years, children have to leave CCIs, stepping into the complex web of the outside world, having no clue whatsoever as to how to navigate through. This situation exists across nearly all CCIs in the country. In general, CCls are barely able to provide basic needs - clean facilities, basic education, hygiene, healthcare and reasonable nutrition. 
 Tanisha Kejriwal and Anya Agarwal are two girls who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children who are in need of care and protection. Their new business venture, Decrypt-it, aims to help achieve this.Throughout our school years, we have been interacting with underprivileged children by teaching them, planning and conducting activities with them and simply just getting to know who they are and what their aspirations are. Observing these children’s’ thirst for doing the best they can, made us realise that they deserve equal if not better opportunities than most. We want to continue to help underprivileged children achieve their goals and make a meaningful difference to their lives through doing something we love. Therefore, all of Decrypt-it’s earnings will be donated to adopt an orphanage, which will allow us to help provide homes, resources, and shelter to eager young girls from one of CSA's supported homes in Mumbai.At Decrypt-it we create personalized clue hunts that can be solved virtually. The hunts vary in length, difficulty, and are tailored exactly to your preferences. What makes these clue hunts truly special is that they’re inspired by and centred around personal memories, relationships and experiences of all participants and loved ones. This makes our product the perfect personalized gift or celebration for any occasion and a great way to spend time together (in-person or virtually). 
 CSA’s interventions have led to betterment in living conditions, health and education of children under institutional care over the years. At this girls' home in Mumbai, we are aiming to achieve the below listed outcomes across various interventions –Health &amp; Hygiene - Children will be healthy and personal hygiene indicators of the children will improve. Staff and children of the CCI will be better aware about healthy habits and practices to maintain hygieneNutrition - Children in the CCI will consume nutritious food leading to improvements in their BMI, which in turn would lead to age appropriate growth. Day to Day Essentials - Children will receive new clothes and usable undergarments to wear.Fun and learning events will be conducted round the year  Safe living space - Premises of the CCI will be safer and more secure for the children.Education - Out of school academic support through tuition teachers will be provided and children will be provided with school kits and stationery. Children will be equipped with requisite life skills training and will be provided career guidance and made aware of career options available to them after exit from the CCI at the age of 18 We aim to raise INR 5,00,000 that will provide holistic care and support for 50 girls residing at this child care institution in Mumbai.Join us as Change Catalysts in our mission to provide these children with a brighter future.

Over 3.5 lakh children in India live in Child Care Institutions (CCIs). The lack of internet facilities and digital learning devices is keeping these children devoid of basic education. Help Catalyst for Social Action, an organisation working with multiple CCIs across the nation, to provide essential services like nutrition and education to children in these institutions. It takes only ₹1,000 to support the needs of one child for a month.India is home to approx. 30 million children in need of care and protection, out of these approx. 3,70,000* children live in childcare institutions. These children living in Child Care Institutions (CCIs) have a right to living in a safe, protected and hygienic environment akin to children residing with their families. CCIs sometimes lack the funds or resources to maintain upkeep or upgrade their facilities that are essential to provide a protected and clean surrounding for children to grow in. In general, CCIs are barely able to provide basic needs - clean facilities, basic education, hygiene, healthcare and reasonable nutrition.Since the pandemic hit us all in early 2020, schools have been closed and have switched to an online forum. However, for low-income communities lacking resources, the shift to online education has been abysmal. Lack of internet and data, phone and learning devices, and other essentials for education are hampering students learning process. Resulting in children dropping out of school and engaging in Child Marriage and Child Labour. According to a 2020 ASER report, a mere 33.5% of children from government schools have access to learning materials like textbooks or worksheets in print or virtual form. 
 Objectives of the Digital Engagement Program - #BridgeTheGapToSchool<ol><li>The second wave of COVID has impacted our CCIs again, that to a great extent this time. Blended learning is at a halt and we need to switch to a completely online forum. Health and treatment along with Nutrition have emerged as a great need, However, we can not minus the importance of Education, Wellness, and different Learning forums to engage all the children meaningfully. The question with us is can we do more and different this time using the online forum?</li><li>We have a strong infrastructure to deliver online engagement, almost with more than 90% of existing CCIs</li><li>We have an experienced team and resources to curate the program.

School Chalein Hum (Back To School)

The entire world has been grappling with the uncertainty of the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic we face today has far-reaching consequences beyond the spread of the disease and risk to health. It will have an enormous impact on the livelihoods of children that stand vulnerable today. This has also caused an adverse and long-lasting impact on the mental health of the unaware in need of protection. Given the unforeseen circumstances, we felt that there is an urgent need to find ways to stay engaged with our children remotely. This led to us designing and launching a Digital Engagement Program to enable us to interact with the children, keep a check on their well-being, and continue with our education and child development programs. 
 As part of this DEP program we are planning to organise a summer camp for children at child care homes.Most children view summer vacation as a time to kick back, sleep, and watch endless hours of television. However, within a week’s time, this whole concept of doing nothing becomes rather boring! With Pandemic around apart from it affecting them mentally children have not been able to go out play, study or interact and upgrade their skills.We wanted to create a community where children come together to have fun while learning lifelong lessons and learn new skills. 
 We plan to schedule 2 weeks long summer camp activities with children in child care institutions (In cruel terms orphanages) to upgrade their skills while having fun.Children from Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Goa will attend these sessions Via zoom enabling them to learn new things.Summer camp will consist of activities like Bollywood Zumba, Art and craft, painting dancing and scientific and educative sessions with resource people who are masters in these fields.

Hunger & Homelessness

India is home to over 20 million orphans. However, the adoption rate is drastically low in comparison to the adoption rate of only 3,000 every year.Children living in orphanages need educational facilities until they are adopted by a family. In addition, they also need to be given vocational skills that not only allow them to be productive but also helps them later to get a job. 
 Our organisation works with 25 orphanages in rural Maharashtra and Odisha to help legally register orphans for adoption. We provide better facilities to these children and help them to develop life-skills until they are adopted by a family.Under this project, we train orphans in vocational programmes such as computer skills, tailoring, arts and crafts, and personality development, whilst also providing English speaking lessons. Each programme lasts six months and focuses on developing a child’s potential. 
 This project will cater to 80 children living in various orphanages. Every donation of Rs. 7,370 will help an orphan to learn vocational skills that will better prepare them for their lives ahead.

There are over 20 million orphaned children in India aged between 0-18. In comparison, the adoption rate is only 3,000 children per year.Our organisation partners with various orphanages to provide better facilities to these orphans. Our project, Morning Hygiene Campaign, encourages children at our centre to adopt good hygiene practices and stay clean and well-groomed. Therefore, we provide toiletry kits to every child to communicate these basic practices. 
 We plan to distribute toiletry kits to 500 children living in various orphanages. The kit includes a toothbrush and paste, soap, a towel, and other necessities for children.In addition, they will learn about good hygiene and the importance of sanitation to live a clean and healthy lifestyle. We repeat this programme every quarter across all 35 orphanages in the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. 
 This programme ensures children in these orphanages remain safe and settled. With every donation of Rs. 750, you will be helping an orphan lead a healthy and hygienic life.
