  • Continue to support the 13 children who have been placed in foster homes through our interventions.
  • Provide training, monitoring, and case management services to foster families in Udaipur and surrounding districts.
  • Prepare children for placement by providing counseling to explain the process of foster care to them if they are able to understand.
  • Prepare foster parents and their families for placement through counseling services related to attachment, bonding, and acceptance of the child.
  • Provide post-placement counseling services.
  • Case monitoring and support for behavioral, educational, or other transitional concerns after placement.
  • Ensure that this transition process is a positive and life-changing experience for the child and family.
  • Provide support and family strengthening services through Parivar Sahyog Kendra, our local Family Support Center.
  • Link families to government programs for pensions and aid for children in order to help families at risk of separation stay together.

  • Provide free classes and programs partially run by community members for school-aged children during the summer holiday.
  • Address the ever-changing needs of children, parents, communities, and systems within the context of Indian society which is just beginning to establish a system for foster care.
