Protsahan India Foundation

PROTSAHAN” IN HINDI MEANS “ENCOURAGEMENT” Protsahan’s vision is that all girls living in situations of vulnerability grow up empowered with access to education and healthcare in safe spaces with greater freedom from all forms of abuse and violence, and those who experienced abuse or violence, benefit from greater access to healing, care, support, gender justice and other services needed to ensure physical, mental and social well-being. This vision is achieved by using The HEART model which is a unique empathy-based model developed by Protsahan in 2010 for working with children and adolescents who are at-risk or have experienced traumatic events. It strives to break the intergenerational cycle of violence and abuse against children and adolescents through Health, Education, Art, Rights and Technology.
