Skilling

Our commitment to change goes beyond the classroom. Our "Skilling" initiative is dedicated to shaping confident, well-rounded individuals who are prepared to tackle life's challenges head-on. 

Through a carefully crafted curriculum, we are instilling essential life skills in young minds, empowering them to thrive in every facet of their journey.

• 3 types of goals: Personal goals, financial goals, and Career goals 

• Goals help them derive the manageable SMART goals and the associated action items for the short term. 

• Students assess themselves against their own goals

• Students add positive habits in place of negative ones, to iteratively improve themselves over time. 

• Weekly group meetings to present innovative ideas, tips, and tricks. Additional 1:1 meetings on a need basis. 

Codenamed "The Knowledge Project" , we conduct sessions week on week on various topics of interest to the students such as financial literacy, decision making, cognitive biases etc. 

We had conducted the sessions until end of 2023 and have currently put a hold on the sessions and are looking out on options to take this to wider audience. We will be piloting with our associated Government school in the FY 2024-2025.

Physical well-being is integral to holistic development, and our initiative encompasses sports and martial arts as vehicles for growth. By engaging children in these activities, we are fostering qualities such as discipline, teamwork, and resilience. 

These traits not only contribute to their physical health but also shape their character, enabling them to face life's challenges with strength and determination.

We are conducting Taekwondo sessions in Aziz Baug school in Mumbai partnering with schools to impart necessary life skills for students.

We provide the students with necessary kits and uniforms and also provide renumeration for the coaching staff.

We have been able to conduct 156 sessions in the last financial year for 28 boys and 21 girls, out of which 18 boys and 16 girls have completed belt graduation. All these children are primarily from very poor backgrounds.

Many students have performed well at the district level competitions last year. Siddesh Kadam, one of our beneficiaries, participated in state level competition and has won Silver Medal.
