Our Programme

Life skills and creativity, every day, in every village.

We develop life skills and creativity in village children at their most impressionable age (5–14) through sport, storytelling, creative activity, experiential learning and emotional intelligence sessions.

Life skills activities
Activities

Traditional sport. Indigenous games. The earth itself.

01 · Traditional Indian sport

Yoga, Kho-Kho, Kabaddi, long jump, high jump and running races — sport that builds confidence, teaming and resilience.

02 · Board games

Strategy and mental skills — Aadu Puli (Goat and Tiger), Thaayam, Tic-Tac-Toe and more.

03 · Project Nature & Nutrition

Experiential learning rooted in the earth — each child plants, grows and tends a sapling provided to them.

04 · Value of Water

Children co-create farm ponds and bunds with farmers — addressing water-table depletion while learning the value of water.
