Aware a Child, Fund a session!

According to the annual crime report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs, between 30% and 40% of people who are abused as children go on to become abusers themselves. This necessitates the need to put an end to CSA, more commonly referred to as Child Sexual Abuse.

Amoli, meaning ‘precious’ is an NGO started by 8 college students, which educates children about the abnormality of Child Sexual Abuse prevailing in the society and helps in the protection of their innocence. We ensure that the children do not engage in self-shame, self-blame, and self-harm and eradicate within them these detrimental senses, so that they are filled with courage and spirit to talk about the same.

It’s never too late to enjoy a happy childhood

     -Tom Robbins

Child Sexual Abuse or CSA is the erotic use of a child whether physically or emotionally, and their sexual exploitation in the fullest meaning of the term, even if no bodily contact is ever made. According to a survey, the ratio of child victims to adult victims is 3:1. CSA not only demolishes the innocence of childhood but also scars adulthood.

At Amoli, we organise two interactive sessions per school - First session lays emphasis on emotions, introduction to the concept of safe and unsafe touch, and various prevention methods; we dwell into more details  in the second session.

Every session consists of volunteers talking about prevention and teaching the little kids that they are masters of their own bodies and talking, touching or looking at their genitals by anyone but them is wrong. At Amoli, in order to ensure that the children are understanding effectively, we include emotion game, story narration and slogan shouting in our session thus, making the session fun and communal.

Since its inception, Amoli has impacted the lives of over 7500 children, over 350 classrooms belonging to 48 schools. We have no plans of stopping here, our goal for 2020-21 is to cover over 55 new schools and communities.

What does it cost to conduct a session?

The major cost components of a session conducted by us are the costs of printing ‘emotion slips’ (to be used by the children) and the script for the session (to be used by the volunteers and given to the school authorities).

Emotion slips is a tool used by us which makes it easier for the children to convey their reactions/feelings towards a hypothetical situation that they might or might not encounter. At every session, a piece of paper containing six emotions which are: Happy, Sad, Angry, Shy, Confused, & Scared is given to each child for him/her to mark the emotion he/she resonates to the most.

In addition to costs incurred on emotion slips and scripts, we also incur costs on travel and stationery, as a part of various miscellaneous costs. The cost breakup of a session is as follows:

Total number of schools/communities to be covered: 55+

Total Number of sessions to be conducted: 110+.

This amount does not include the costs incurred by our volunteers or the costs that are incurred when we conduct departmental meetings and other events like setting up stalls. In addition to this, we also incur huge costs on renting co-working spaces, which are used for team meetings, orientations, brainstorming sessions, etc.

Why do we need your help?

Amoli Trust was founded by 8 college students in 2018. Over the years we as an organisation have worked towards the prevention of child sexual abuse and have been a 100% student run organisation.

Our volunteers are undergraduate and postgraduate students from universities in Delhi NCR, some of them being - University of Delhi, IP University, Delhi Technological University amongst many others.

The students working at Amoli wish to create an impact that influence the current youth of the society to take up the responsibility of empowering the adults of tomorrow. Amoli aspires to create a better tomorrow and sculpt future changemakers of the society.

We seek your contributions for the same as we continue to fight CSA and make the society a safe one for our children.

Help us transform the lives of our Amols, because every child is Amoli.
