Our approach has been to blend direct service delivery by The Promise Foundation's teams, with training other organisations, to replicate these services in their locations. Our programmes are implemented in two ways:

CORE PROJECTS

These are long term projects that our teams directly implement in schools, slums, settlements, rural areas and at our centre, through workshops and intervention programmes. We currently work directly in about 55 schools spread across a range of Indian towns and cities.

EXTENSION PROJECTS

We work in partnership with other, larger organisations to extend our core ideas through their networks and structures.  This we accomplish in the following ways:

• Resource development in form of kits, booklets, worksheets and other material suited to the needs of the client group.

• Training Programmes for adults working with children and youth from socially and economically disadvantaged homes (e.g. teachers, wardens, non-formal educators, animators, pre-school teachers). Our training courses are skills oriented and are firmly rooted in research findings.

• We are also invited to offer our expertise through consultancy assignments by Government, Non-Government and International Organisations for training their workers and developing sustainable systems for programme implementation, assessment and appraisal.

We currently work with close to 150 organisations that are involved with children and adolescents in India and other parts of the world.

Most importantly our objective is to function as a Resource Group, that would provide culturally and economically relevant knowledge and skills to other organisations already working for children and youth.  

It is through our training programmes and consultancy services that we hope to see our research and interventions replicated on a larger scale.
