What happens when children are given a voice?

Some of the most powerful advocates for childrenโ€™s rights are children themselves.

With this belief, ILPโ€™s NGO partner SNEHA has formed Child Rights Associations comprising 20 children in every upper primary and high school across Ilkal Taluk, Karnataka. Guided by teachers and facilitators, these young leaders learn about child rights, child protection laws, their responsibilities, and

What it takes to be a Vidya Saathi?

When children struggle with foundational reading and mathematics skills, timely support can make all the difference. That is where Vidya Saathis step in, supporting children to build strong foundations in language and mathematics.

But becoming a Vidya Saathi requires more than academic qualifications. The role calls for patience, commitment, strong communication skills, and a genuine desire

For the Anganwadi kids, Sharada Amma is the best part of the day

Every morning, before the children settle down for the dayโ€™s activities, 58-year-old Sharada Rathod is already at the Anganwadi Centre, making sure everything is ready.

For the children at the SNEHA-ILP supported Anganwadi Centre in Vijayapura, Karnataka, she is simply โ€œSharada Ammaโ€, someone who sings with them, dances with them, and never misses a chance to

What happened after grade 10 and 12 results?

When the grade 10 and 12 results were announced, students went to schools to collect their certificates. Some excited, some anxious, and many carrying questions about what comes next.

For families too, this moment was about more than just marksheets. It was about choices, uncertainty, and their childrenโ€™s dreams waiting for direction.

120 days. Countless conversations. Many helping hands. One shared dream.

Over four months, that dream slowly took shape through meetings, ideas, contributions, and people coming together. And what emerged at Middle School Kachhupani in Simdega, Jharkhand, under the *PALASH Multilingual Education Programme, became much more than a school museum and library. It became a space where children could see themselves and their world reflected in

How do Anganwadis help children become school ready?

For many children, school readiness begins with small moments inside an Anganwadi โ€” moments like Geetha proudly pointing at a red ball and shouting, โ€œRed!โ€ Earlier, she would quietly sit in a corner and simply observe everyone around her. Beside her, Anil carefully separates circles from squares, grinning proudly at his little victory.
