School of Life programs have directly reached out to over 20,000 individuals, including Children, Parents, Teachers and Adults from varied communities in and around Delhi – NCR.
The developmental & educative programs have been conducted with people across strata & various Socio-economic backgrounds, including the less privileged, not just the heeled. They have been well received and appreciated for their focus on practical skills, insights and knowledge that equips and enables individuals to deal with real-life challenges.
Over the last few years School of Life has been successful in bringing about change and this is seen through the surveys conducted post workshops – Where close to 98.33% of the participating population felt confident in speaking about Sexuality and Sexual development post the workshop. About 99.99% of the participating population felt that they now had the rights skills, tools and vocabulary to talk to children about personal safety and child sexual abuse. Almost 90% felt more confident and equipped in handling cases of abuse and also providing the immediate care and support to the child.
We have also been successful in organizing workshops and talks on Sexual Harassment at Workplace, with special focus on the POSH, ACT 2013. School of Life is also impaneled as the External Party face on many ICC’S of companies. We have sensitized almost 10,000 working professionals – managers, associates, supervisors and support staff on the same with information, skills and attitudes that help to work harmoniously. More recently we can been catalyzing the societal impact, with our work with many schools & several organisations – helping create operational frameworks & institutionalise best practices.
We are now also expanding the scope of our impact, to develop, educate primary children & mothers from “less-privileged” sections – with our AMBAR VIDYADHARA education & strengthening their foundation & life skills – afternoon school development programs @ the Sixth Element school, Gurugram
These figures are not only overwhelming and reassuring, but also encouraging enough to further extend the outreach and work towards the vision of an abuse free & better world.
