Community Garima Kendra

Jan Shaurya Sanstha is laying the foundation of change among the Bachhada and Bedia communities in 37 villages of Neemuch and Ashoknagar districts. While traditionally daughters have been pushed towards sexual exploitation instead of education, the organization has established 'Garima Kendras' in 10 villages to break this evil practice.
In these centers, young volunteers from the community connect children with educational and creative activities after studies, increase their understanding of their rights and inspire them to dream big. Also, by counseling parents, it is ensured that children do not get tied into the shackles of sex work, but move towards education and career.
This effort of Jan Shaurya is giving the new generation the power to build a bright future with dignity, education and opportunity.

Through its Youth Leadership Program, Jan Shaurya Sanstha is preparing such youth in 25 villages of Bachhada community of Neemuch district, who can raise their voice against the ill practices of the community and bring about positive change.
