Touch the Sky with Glory

Seva Bharathi has been working with young women since 1990. Kishori Vikas Yojana is an
exclusive effort to stand by the Adolescent girls in their struggles and growing up was launched in January
2005. The Primary goal is Empowerment i.e.; improving the standards in education, health, skill
development and cultural values. Seva Bharathi completed its 25 years in the social service. As part of its
silver jubilee celebrations Seva Bharathi committed to empower more women through Kishori Vikas Yojana.
The Kishori Vikas Center is where the volunteer organizes the teenage girls daily for 2 hours at any
of the local community center or nearby locality. The teenage girls, 11-18 years are trained in basic things like
information and skills that enable them towards self reliance. This particular age group gets awareness to the
world and they would go on to design their future. Hence it is the right age group to give vocational skills,
information and Sanskaras.

It is the flame to better the society that makes up a


kishori volunteer. Seva Bharathi provides a small and humble
honorarium that helps them pay their college fee and trips to
centers. The volunteer is basically a junior or degree college
student and is trained to run these Kendras.
Thanks to these volunteers today there are 123
Kishori centers with an average attendance of 25 bettering the
lives of the young women. This activity is spread in
Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Medak and Nizamabad districts.

but qualitative intervention. It is here that the qualitative
intervention of the Kishori Vikas volunteer makes a lot of difference. slums need a small but qualitative

Why only girls and women?
If the female is empowered she not only betters her life but also betters her family and society. The
quality of education, vocational skills, health & hygiene, self defense skills and moral education are basic
parts of this program. The participants in the program are given counseling and a forum to discuss their
problems.
Education:
Most of the stakeholders are poor, they study in
Government or local schools and cannot afford private
tuitions but have the desire and intelligence to grow and be a
better person. They live in single rooms and cannot study at
home without disturbance. The Kishori center in their locality
is an ideal place for the girls as a free tuition center apart from
the skill and counseling center. The dropouts are motivated
to pursue their education and given proper guidance and
tuition.
Health & Hygiene:
Lack of information / education is one factor while ignorance to health & hygiene is another that is weakening
the women. Kishori centers provide health awareness and preventive medicine along with yoga,

Nalgonda and Warangal district for 15 days. They created a platform with their work at the ground level. They
knocked every door of those bastis, interacted with every mother, father, child and this step of these young
girls to serve them has touched their hearts. In these 15 days they played with children, they taught them
rhymes, singing, new games and dances for both children and women and became members of their families
by staying along with them in their homes.
