At Praajak, we are committed to creating a safer and equitable world for children, adolescents and youth. Our programmes aim to protect children from abuse, exploitation, and neglect while promoting gender equity through education, life skills development, psychosocial support, building youth leadership and community engagement.
Founded on the principles of gender equity, celebration of diversity and promotion of inclusion, our initiatives include gender learning circles, sports (kabaddi) classes, and support programs that inspire young minds and foster leadership.
We collaborate with local communities, schools, public institutitions and regulatory authorities to create sustainable change and ensure every child can live with dignity and respect and have access to choice and opportunities.
We believe in the power of collective action. Whether you are a young person eager to make a difference, a corporate looking to invest in social responsibility or an individual passionate about social justice and reconciliation, there is a place for you at Praajak. We also look forward to partnerships with domestic and international institutional donors to partner with us in supporting our impactful projects. Together, we can build a brighter, safer future for all children.
Join us in our mission to protect, empower, and transform lives. Your support can help us reach more children and women, giving them the chance to thrive and contribute to a more just society.
