Enabling street children rehabilitation at Ashayen

SDGs Impacted

Ashayen’s vision is to create a healthy space for every child living in street situations to reach their full potential. Since 2014, the organization is committed to the care, protection, rehabilitation and all-round development of children living on the streets in the city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha State, India. To achieve this Ashayen is implementing Aama Pathshala – a community-based rehabilitation centre for providing a creative learning platform to mainstream the children living in the street situation. The program activities include: providing bridge courses, life skills education, counseling, exposure visit, sports and music activities, etc to name a few. The program uses a Digital Public Good (DPG) call Aam Digital, a cloud-based & easy-to-use software that enables them to track the inputs, outputs and outcome indicators for each child.

Impact / Outcome
The response time of the field staff to address cases of children dropping out from the education system has reduced drastically. The program team is now able to correlate the data in community centre and the school with the help of Aam Digital. The leadership team is now able to effectively follow up with the field coordinators and provide support to tackle operational challenges on the field.
