Abstract | Protsahan, a Hindi word that literally translates to encouragement, was started in 2010. The idea of Protsahan was born with the idea to rescue children from systemic, intergenerational poverty and abuse by providing a safe space for girls inside the slums that would offer access to quality education, health care, and justice. Since then, Protsahan has successfully mainstreamed 828 girls into formal schools, rescued 68 girls from forced early marriage, and reaches 30,000 girls annually through its programs in India. Due to a severe lack of education and employable skills, girls are often married at an early age, many times forcibly, and thus become dependent on the men in the family for everything. This situation inevitably perpetuates a cycle of poverty and abuse among women in these communities. To address these issues that have a direct and highly negative impact on the lives of young girls and women in India, it is essential to address the intersectionality of the issues with education at the core of the solution by enabling young women to gain 21st-century skills. Protsahan has gathered a team of highly dedicated and experienced grassroots social workers and teachers who work tirelessly at the forefront of education innovation using the HEART principle. HEART is an acronym that Protsahan developed to describe the foundation of their work--Holistic healing, Education, Art & life skills, Recovery from trauma, and Technology. (ERIC). |
