PRACHODANA strives for sustainable changes in diverse fields. That´s why we maintain multiple social, environmental, educational and health programmes reaching out expecially to children, women and people in need.
CHILDLINE 1098 is a tele-helpline which is 24/7 free accessible for children in need of care and protection. We aim for the protection of the rights of all children aged from 0 to 18. We work in cooperation with the Childline India foundation.
As a partner of OPEN SHELTER, we provide shelter, give food, clothing, hygiene, medical care and basic education to children from urban areas in diverse difficult circumstances. The project is sanctioned by the government of Karnataka.
Partnering the BRIDGE SCHOOL program we identify school dropouts and other children in difficult circumstances in the Hassan District. They get boarding, coaching, lodiging and more at Prachodana. The program is financially supported by the Karl Kübel Stiftung.
