Protecting Children

Sufi Sutra is a three day festival of Sufi and traditional music in Kolkata held in the first week end of February. It is a music concert bringing about a convergence of ideas on truth, harmony, peace and divinity.

Programs at Bihar target behaviour change for improved reproductive and child health and making community a partner for strengthening access & usage of health services.

Art for Life (AFL) targets safeguarding intangible cultural heritage for socio-economic empowerment and inclusion of indigenous communities. We are successfully working with 39 art forms across West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.

The project aims to evolve a community- based and child centered approach for preventing child trafficking for labour, debt, bondage, etc.
