Introduction

Transition of Leadership: 2019-20 saw a significant change for

STCI with the retirement of Dr. Subhadra Anand after 12 years with the

organisation. The new CEO, Havovi Wadia, joined STCI in 2019.

Looking back on 2019-20 is inevitably coloured by the more recent events

of the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw India lock down in mid-March, and

has had a significant impact on Save The Children India (STCI), its staff, its

work, its beneficiaries, funders and partners. As these events took place

at the very end of this reporting period, they have not had a significant

impact on the results and activities reported here but have inevitably had

a much greater impact on what has happened since with plans having to

change and develop to meet the changing needs and circumstances. As

this report focuses on 2019-20, these changes will not be reflected but it

will focus on looking back, and not present the forward look for 2020-21

which is since out of date in many cases.

HAVOVI WADIACEO

Save The Children India

Words from the Ex - CEO of STCI

When I was asked to join the organisation by Mana way back in February 2008, I expressed my concern about not being from the social sector and hence may not be able to do justice to my assignment. But she persuaded me to join the Special Care Centre since it was a school and I was well versed with institutional manage-ment. I agreed and thus began my tryst with Save The Children India. Soon Rahul suggested I take over as a CEO because the organisation needed a head to lead. So here I was taking up the challenge of swimming in unfamiliar waters. But I found many lifeboats steering me away from turbulent currents in the form of my staff, my trustees, my donors and above all my beneficiaries.

Soon the boat stabilized and started sailing in smooth waters. Many milestones and achievements came on the way and the wonderful work of our founder Mrs Vipula Kadri grew from strength to strength.

The best part of the organisation is the collective ownership and passion displayed by all. Highs and lows are shared with equal commitment and accountability. This is essentially what the ethos of the organisation is all about and it is this which will sustain it in years to come.

As I handed over the mantle to my very able successor Havovi Wadia, I experienced a terrible heart break for leaving all the wonderful people who made my 11 years the most beautiful chapter of my life. I would like to thank the gracious Kadri family especially Mr. I M Kadri for his unreserved support and encouragement. Rahul, Shimul,Isha, Yogi, Mana and Suniel were the dependable rocks I continuously leaned on. I would like to personally thank my staff whom I cannot individually name but without whom I would not have been able to function at all.

I will miss Save The Children India every day of my life. But time moves on. Change is part of life. Good bye all of you whom I have loved and cherished. You will be stored in a special memory vault which will be reopened by me frequently with a smile on my face. Stay happy and fulfilled all of you at Save The Children India.

I was with Save The Children India from 2008 to 2019. One would say " Wow, that is a very long tenure especially when it is a time period of post retirement”. Yes I joined this wonderful organisation after completing a 36 year career in Academics in National College from where I retired as a Principal in 2007. While my tenure in National was memorable and rewarding, the 11 years I spent on my second innings with Save The Children India was heart warming and soul satisfying.

I do not have enough adjectives to describe my journey as I find my vocabulary desperately falling short of words and letting me down. Even if I use expressions like beautiful, exhilarating, extraordinary, amazing, motivating, I would still not be able to elucidate what my mind and heart want to say.

VISION

06

As well as the ongoing development of the

core programme work across all three

verticals – education, disability and

anti-trafficking – the year has also seen

crucial development on an organisational

level. This has included a range of work to

strengthen STCI as one organisation, to

enable it to be more than the sum of its

parts. One major project has been the

development of both programmatic and

organisation level problem statements

and a theory of change, through a series of

workshops, undertaken over a period of

around 6 months. The workshops resulted

in a better understanding of the different

teams’ work enabling more opportunities

for coordination to be explored, which

2019-20 also saw positive developments in fundraising and partnerships. The anti-

trafficking programme secured an exciting new collaboration through the Global Fund to

End Modern Slavery, working with the International Justice Mission (IJM) and Prerana.

This partnership firmly establishes STCI as a key player in the anti-trafficking sector

in India and gives the opportunity to replicate the model of Stakeholder Collectives, piloted

successfully in Nagpur in the previous year. A new partnership with Yes Bank focused

on promoting awareness of the SDGs was also a key win.

As well as new funders and partners, STCI was also successful in maintaining existing

partnerships. At the end of 2019-20 the organisation had secured an ongoing commit-

ment from 26 of its 30 funding partners (although the changing circumstances into

2020-21 have led to some further change in this).

has been particularly valuable in recent

months. It also enabled the development

of a strong set of KRAs for the new year

(2020-21) allowing for more outcome-

oriented reporting, and clear 3-year

development plans for each programme

moving forwards.

Other cross-organisational work focused

on policy development, including an updat-

ed Child Protection Policy, a new Financial

Manual and updated HR Manual. These

were all developed by cross-organisa-

tional teams ensuring that the resulting

policies meet the needs of all areas of the

organisation and ensuring wide buy-in.

Children enrolled in Aanganwadis have far lower levels of cognitive and foundational ability than those enrolled in private schools, and children from less advantaged homes are affected disproportionately2.

As they move into primary schools, these gaps continue and grow. Only a quarter of children in 3rd standard perform at ‘grade level’, and the majority of children need immediate help in acquiring foundational skills in literacy and numeracy3. More than half of children in 8th standard are still struggling with division and 1 out of 4 children leave 8th standard without basic reading skills. Without strong foundational skills, it is difficult for children to cope with what is expected of them in upper primary grades4 and beyond to fulfil their potential.

To bridge these gaps STCI focuses on interventions at both pre-primary and primary levels.

Through 2019-20 the Balwadi programme continued to work to build capacity within both community and government run Balwadis to improve pre-school standards. STCI focuses on teacher training and development, training women from under-privileged communities to become Balwadi teachers within 47 STCI-run Balwadis in Mumbai. These Balwadis deliver a well-rounded, thematic, eclectic curriculum which responds to the changing needs of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). Children’s development is monitored against STCI’s own rubric, which focuses on four key development areas: physical, socio-emotional, cognitive and language and maths.

These self-run, or direct, Balwadis enable STCI to build expertise and develop effective training approaches, which has led to partnerships with Municipal Corporations from across Maharashtra as well as with NGOs and other organisations in other states to build capacity of Balwadi teachers

The direct and indirect programmes have a different rubric of measurement to enable STCI to monitor change as the teachers in the direct programme work with organisation for longer and in a more sustained was than those in the indirect programme. All teachers undergo intensive teacher training, regular teacher meeting circles, mentoring and observation, with the aim of building on the Balwadi teacher’s existing Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude.

(indirect intervention). This is done through rollout of curricula and other teaching and learning materi-als, intensive teacher training, regular teacher circles and mentoring that equips teachers with the knowl-edge, skills and attitudes they need to become more effective educators.

Effective educators are more able to support children in their classroom in a range of areas includ-ing academic performance, but also crucial social and emotional areas, improving behaviours inside and outside the classroom and embedding learning skills and habits from an early age, which are vital as children move to primary school and beyond.

Investment in ECCE has the potential to give all young children such access in an engaging and holistic way, thereby allowing all children to participate and flourish in the educational system throughout their lives. ECCE is perhaps the greatest and most powerful equaliser5.

Primary Education The Patang Programme

14

Patang is a remedial education programme targeting children from 2nd to 7th standard within primary education. As seen above, 25% of children are still unable to read by 8th standard, suggesting that Indian classrooms face challenges in ensuring the children within them learn effectively. Classrooms are often overcrowded, with the teacher-pupil ratio making it all but impossible for students to get the individual attention they may need, making it easy for children to get left behind. Where children do not have strong learning foundations, often due to under-privileged backgrounds that mean they do not have access to books and support at home, there are no opportunities to make up this deficit and the learning gap grows. As children fall behind, atten-dance levels fall, further exacerbating the issue.

Patang aims to tackle this problem by working with each child at their actual level of learning, helping them to progress towards their grade level learning and better adjust to the pace of learning in a regular

classroom. This in turn motivates them to attend school more regularly. Patang Study Centres have operated in 156 centres in Mumbai, Pune and Delhi. The study centre are multi-grade and multi-level classrooms where children from 2nd-7th standard come together and receive focused teacher support to improve their literacy and numeracy skills. The teacher-pupil ratio is kept at 1:15 to provide children with adequate support individually and in small peer learning groups. Following a diagnostic test, a specialized level-based curriculum helps each child learn and progress at their own pace and regular assessment enables teachers to see each child’s progress through each level of learning (each level has 10 milestones) and adapt activities and pace accordingly. Regular parent-teacher meetings and meetings with school head teachers also builds school and community engagement so that participa-tion in Patang is seen as a positive, not a punitive experience.

Primary EducationOther Interventions

SMCs: School Management Committees (SMCs), are a key part of the governance of government schools in India under the Right to Education Act (RTE) and engage the wider family and community in the education system. Each school has an SMC with 12-16 members made up of 75% parents and 25% from school head teachers, students, teachers, elected members of local authority and local NGO representatives. The SMC has the responsibility of holding the school authorities to account for needed action and changes and supporting them to implement these. STCI works with SMCs to help them understand their roles and responsibilities, with training and discussions in areas including RTE, school development plans, the mid-day meal scheme, child rights and protection, school enrolment etc. The SMC members are then supported as needed to take action forwards in their schools.

SMAK Programme: The SMAK programme is based on the understanding that children in upper primary grades struggle with higher order science and maths concepts as these are more abstract in nature than concepts they have encountered at lower levels. By using a combination of fun experiments and practical demonstrations children are able to understand the concepts more easily and remain interested in learning the subjects. The SMAK programme is part of a wider project called Saksham, operating in Pune and funded by EDUCO.

Child Right and Child Protection: STCI recognises that building knowledge and understanding of child protection issues in schools is another key need, and to underpin this, schools need robust Child Protection Policies. Through 2019-20 STCI has worked with children, parents and teachers to develop a draft policy which has been submitted to Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights and to schools for review.

16

Education for Dignity Project: E4D is a 3-year project that works towards improving the quality of education in 9 government schools sponsored by EDUCO under Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). The project envisions that schools become places where children exercise and enjoy their right to equitable, transformative and quality education. During this first year of the project 66 government school teachers have been trained on aspects of joyful learning, child safety & protection and enhancing student participation in school management and governance.

Wider Community Engagement - Healthcare Support: Good health is a key factor in effective learning, both for children, but also for their families as ill health can lead to a negative impact on livelihoods which can in turn lead to children being forced to drop out of school. Therefore, STCI has run a series of general health camps and cancer screening interventions to support better health in the community.

Under the Patang programme, children’s actual learning levels are diagnosed and they are grouped accordingly under Level-0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 supported by level appropriate learning material & teaching. Each child moves through 10 milestones of learning to successfully complete one learning level and progress onto the subsequent levels. Due to the sudden closure of schools in the second week of March due to COVID-19, it was not possible to conduct the endline assessment for students scheduled in the last week of March. However, the Continuous Progress Monitoring Report of students that record their progress through milestones of learning show that:

Dhvani – Early Intervention Centre

4 in every 1000 children suffer from severe to profound hearing loss5, yet in India there is no standard practice of newborn screening meaning that many children are not identified as suffering from hearing loss until they are older. Although hearing loss is not a learning disability, children with hearing loss struggle to access education and integrate into mainstream schools. This education gap then widens as they get older, impacting on their ability to access livelihoods and maximise their potential.

STCI support children with hearing impairment and intellectual disability to access the right

learning environment in which they will be able to thrive. Through early detection, intervention and

treatment, a special school and life skills support STCI work to build strong educational foundations

which aim to integrate children into mainstream education and help them lead a dignified life.

Dhvani also strongly believes that India needs to implement mandatory new-born screening for hearing loss, and raise awareness and knowledge of hearing loss across different medical and educational professionals and students, as well as parents, community health workers, public health sector and government workers. Identifying the issue early is vital to ensure that children receive the support they need at the earliest time to enable the most effec-tive auditory verbal development. In 2019-20 Dhvani launched an infant hearing screening programme (for babies of 0-6 months) in cooperation with other NGOs working on health issues of young babies in Mumbai. By training community outreach workers to identify potential hearing loss, and ensuring they have access to appropri-ate referral pathways where needed, the chances of children being diagnosed early are increased.

Dhvani provides early detection, appropriate hearing device fitting, pre and post cochlear implant management, therapy and support to children with hearing loss and their families through parent guidance and coaching hearing impaired children through three key services:1. Audiological evaluation to identify and diag-nose children with hearing loss.2. Auditory Verbal Therapy sessions with children and their families which focus on devel-oping spoken language through listening and ongoing repetition and reiteration of exercises outside the centre.3. School Readiness to support children to tran-sition into mainstream schools, and their families to understand the ongoing home-based support they need to do so. Once children ‘graduate’ and move into mainstream school Dhvani continues to follow up with the families for between 12 and 18 months to ensure they are supported through any challenges that may arise.

Partnerships with NGOs and Municipal Corporations have led to 103 babies being screened for hearing loss and their parents and community health workers have gained knowledge and aware-ness about hearing loss to enable them to monitor their child’s speech, language and hearing develop-ment up to the age of 3 years old. The training of health workers potentially disperses this knowledge throughout the community of more than 1.5 lakh people.

6 children graduated from Dhvani’s early inter-vention programme and as of the time of school closures in March 2020 all were continuing to study in regular/mainstreamed school at age appropriate grade levels.

Key Results for 2019-20:

Further support of children with hearing loss also comes from STCI’s Special Care Centre which works with these children, as well as those with intellectual disabilities. Through the two sections it provides academic, functional, vocational skills and a wide range of co-curricular & extra-curricular activities like sports, dance, music, arts and crafts that are integral components of holistic develop-ment. The curriculum has 5 levels, focused on enhancing the development of self-help skills, speech and language skills, academic skills, psycho-social skills and motor skills.

The centre also supports families to better understand and support their children’s health needs, and conducts regular teacher training so that its staff deliver the best possible education.

Children at the Special Care Centre are supported based on their individual needs and development to:

The Special Care Centre has reached:

05Anti-Trafficking

22

Over 2 million women and children are trafficked into red-light districts in India6. STCI understands that trafficking a multi-faceted problem that requires a multi-approach solution. Therefore, the anti-trafficking programme focuses on a range of areas including work in communities where women and children are at high risk of trafficking, work with survivors and work to improve the functioning of law enforcement agencies including police, prosecutors and judges, to tackle systemic issues.

STCI’s prevention work focuses on areas that are known to be sources of trafficking and developed based on the understanding that trafficking is caused by a wide range of issues including domestic violence, cultural norms that lead to gender bias, a lack of education and an absence of livelihood opportunities. By working in these communities through the Safe Village Programme (SVP) STCI engages a large network of NGOs, CBOs and local governance systems likePanchayats, ICDS,

etc. and sets up local vigilance committees to exercise community vigilance, intervention and reporting, training the committee and wider community members to understand the importance and role of the committee. The programme also includes a helpline through which people can report suspected incidents of trafficking or things that could result in trafficking. These reports are followed up by a network of NGOs in the local areas.

More than 350 calls were received by the SVP Helpline (predominantly reporting domestic and other forms of violence) and all calls were acted on by local NGOs.

Prevention

Financial instability is a key risk factor in trafficking. In families who are struggling financially, women with limited education and earning potential can be seen as a drain on already limited resources, and the risk of them being trafficked increases as those seeking to exploit women can easily prey on this financial weakness. In addition, women who have been trafficked and rescued, are at an increased risk of being re-trafficked if they are unable to find an alternative source of income. Therefore, building the skills and knowledge of women to enable them to access a livelihood and earn an income is a key pillar of STCI's work in this area, offer-ing a range of skilling courses, supporting women either in high risk communities, or who those who are rescued survivors of trafficking. Courses include beauty and wellness, retail, nursing, as well as business skills to support women to start small enterprises. The programme also supports women and children to develop literacy skills and to complete their education.

In addition to working with at risk communi-ties and survivors of trafficking it is also important to work with the officials and systems who play a key role in combatting ttrafficking. 2019/20 saw the conclusion of STCI's pilot programme in Nagpur which has focused on a holistic approach to the issue, targeting all relevant stakeholders. This pillar of STCI's work aims to improve the function-ing of law enforcement agencies such as the police, prosecutors and judges to build

In addition to the direct work with stakeholders, STCI also focus on advocacy work to change policy and strengthen systems, sharing knowledge and experience with other players in the sector, both in India and more widely. In September 2019, STCI’s Programme Director of the Anti-Trafficking Programme participated in a cross-border consultation on strengthening bilateral arrangements for combating human trafficking in Dhaka, Bangladesh organized by Justice and Care, Bangla-desh, including as a panellist on effective coordination mechanisms across borders for prosecuting cross-border criminal networks. The event also resulted in the development of a standard operat-ing procedure (SOP) for the repatriation of rescued victims and the ways to tackle recent changes in the modus operandi of cross-border criminal networks.

understanding of the issue and tackle system-ic issues through collaborative working, with the goal of ensuring that institutions are more victim-centered. Using specially developed training modules, films and approaches including using laws and landmark rulings STCI aims to enhance the co-ordination between the justice delivery system and other stakeholders to build a more organised response to trafficking crimes, increasing the number of successful prosecutions.
