With the start of 2020, we began to ask what scale meant for us at Kranti. Does it mean having more Kranti shelter homes? Does it mean having more girls at the Kranti home? After many discussions between our team, the Krantikaris, our advisors and supporters, we felt like scale for us means scaling our belief that young girls that have grown up facing discrimination can be the best social change leaders, to solve many of the social problems they grew up facing.
We know of so many great organisations in Mumbai and around India that do powerful work with young people growing up in challenging circumstances- in low income communities, living with disabiilties and almost no services, facing social taboos that cuts them off from mainstream society. We don't want to replicate the work any of these wonderful organisations are doing. We just want to add to them!
So, starting this month, we are partnering with organisations working with young people, and taking our Kranti School curriculum to them. The Kranti School curriculum is our magic sauce - it's what makes our girls revolutionary social change leaders! In the Kranti School curriculum we learn about various social change issues, as well as leadership, critical thinking, creative problem solving. And what's even better is that it is our oldest, most experienced Krantikaris that are teaching this curriculum to other young people just like them in other organisations.
This month we started a 1-year program with the Happy Feet Children's Home in Mumbai, that works with children with terminal illness, where Krantikari Asmita is teaching the Kranti School Curriculum. Krantikaris Jayashree and Shraddha conducted a series of workshops with children in various public and private schools with modular parts of the Kranti School Curriculum.
