SUKRUPA - Educate a Girl Child @ SUKRUPA Impact Report

‘Your support has helped us to empower girls through all our programs and we have been able to create impact and change’

Imparting life skills, creativity and leadership for the girls at SUKRUPA was the focus of this quarter. We successfully conducted two life skill programs for the girls enhancing their ability to think and grow. With the academic year coming to an end we witnessed the graduation day of the pre-school kids and the high school children passed out with flying colors. Summer camp was the most exciting of all filled with fun and enthusiasm.

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights. We at SUKRUPA recognized the International Women’s Day looking back at the impact and change that we have been creating empowering young women, avoiding child marriages through education and skills development. We pledged to impart the best of education, nurture young girls to complete high school, get into college and become college graduates.

Encouraging Science and Mathematics!!

It was wonderful for our children to participate in the Yearn to Learn Science and Math Olympiad. It created competitive spirit among the students and the children were excited to receive their certificates. We thank Ms. Nikihiya Shamsher – Founder Yearn to learn for continued support.

Creating Yourself!! Nurturing with Life Skills

Along with academics and creativity we focus on nurturing the children with life skills which becomes the foundation for teenagers. A five day workshop was conducted for the students of 10^th Grade to identify their personality traits and encourage themselves to become self-aware to channelize their further steps. Through the program many of the girls were able to realize their individual strengths, understand differences, and find solutions and to use their strengths in the right way. Team building activities were conducted for them to help them come up with strategies, be responsible, be open to learn and be creative.

SUKRUPA Summer Camp 2018

This summer camp theme focused on values that the children have to grow up with in order to lead a good life. Along with continuous mentoring we also engaged the children with Indoor games, vocabulary skills, gardening, scrap book making, creative collage and much more throughout the summer camp. We thank all the college students from SUMARGADHARSHAK and volunteers for making this summer camp an exciting one.

Nurturing young minds!!

As SUKRUPA’s focus has been enriching the lives of children with life skills, a six day intense life skill workshop was conducted for the students of high school. Self-awareness, management of emotions, choices and consequences, problem solving, pushing their limits and goals, setting goals and presentation were some of the skills that the children were nurtured. Team building activities and tasks helped the children to make decisions, be self-aware, create positiveness and solve problems. Through the life skills program they were able to innovate, understand their strengths and set goals which are measurable, attainable, relatable and time bound. All these skills would support them to focus on their education and grow to become responsible and accountable for their actions.
