Protsahan India Foundation

Company Overview

Protsahan India is a youth led organisation that has traversed a path breaking journey since 2010 as a non-profit organisation, working under two broad heads of Creative Education and Skill Development.

We work at the grassroots level in urban slums and on streets in India empowering marginalised children and women from lowest income backgrounds. We started with educating seven little girls from slums who were being sexually abused. We started with a one room creative arts school in Delhi. Today we have touched the lives of over 1200 children from streets and slums who were subjected to sexual abuse and drug abuse.

Protsahan India works to harness the creative potential of a child who has never had the chance to go to school and has ended up on the street begging at a red light signal, abused at a brothel or is under substance abuse. We believe in creative arts as a means to further education and vocational skill based training to mainstream them. Our projects focus on at risk children on streets and marginalised women facing abuse and injustice. All our projects have an extremely high youth involvement, creating participatory platforms promoting the spirit of volunteerism amongst the youth of the country as well.
