Chehak Trust

Jhula gives girls the opportunity to leave behind confined settings by fusing education with hands-on learning and social contact. It attempts to provide the girls with experiences, information, and abilities that they would not otherwise have.

Jhula was initially introduced at the Sahyog schools in Dindoshi and Jari Mari to supplement the academic instruction of the teenage ladies who had left the official school system.

Jhula has been introduced for girls enrolled in vocational training programmes provided by other organisations (such as Pratham's vocational training centres, Ambedkar Centre for Justice and Peace) in addition to in-school programmes. It has also been implemented as an after-school programme in the communities of Jari Mari, Mankhurd, Ghatkopar, Govandi, and Dindoshi.

By increasing awareness among various community stakeholders, offering education and rehabilitation to children with developmental disabilities, and granting access to mainstream special schools or vocational employment opportunities, Sahyog Sangharsh focuses on the early identification and intervention of children with disabilities. Children and teenagers with developmental disabilities, including hearing loss, intellectual disability, autism, cerebral palsy, and orthopaedic difficulties, are served by the community-based centre. It prepares children for integration into the formal education system or vocational centres by giving them access to basic education, extracurricular activities, and functional rehabilitation in a safe environment.
