ABOUT THE HEAL FOUNDATION:


The HEAL Foundation is an organization in India that addresses the alarming issue of child sexual abuse (CSA), which is prevalent at epidemic levels. According to a well-known 2007 study by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, 53% of children in India experience various forms of sexual abuse before reaching the age of 18.

HEAL's primary objective is to create a community that recognizes, respects, and safeguards the rights of children, particularly protecting them from sexual abuse. Their mission revolves around using education as a powerful tool to prevent child sexual abuse. Their aim is to equip individuals with the knowledge to understand, identify signs of abuse, employ preventive strategies, and respond empathetically to incidents of child sexual abuse.

The organization's efforts primarily focus on conducting child safety workshops for teachers and parents. Following these workshops, HEAL conducts personal body safety workshops for children, ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 10. These workshops cover topics such as body safety, teaching children the proper names of private body parts, the concept of personal space, understanding physical boundaries, and distinguishing between safe and unsafe touches.

About Me
ABOUT ME: I am Yash Bhatia, a 14-year-old student currently enrolled in the 9th standard at The Cathedral and John Connon School. I've taken the initiative to launch a fundraising campaign in support of an exceptional NGO called The HEAL Foundation, which is committed to eradicating child sexual abuse. You might be wondering, "Why this cause?" The answer is quite straightforward: I firmly believe that every child should be entitled to a secure and joyful childhood. It's truly disheartening to think that numerous children out there are subjected to the horrors of this terrible abuse, and it's our moral obligation to shield them. No child should ever have to endure such a traumatic experience. I've witnessed how this issue can shatter lives; it could affect any of us, our friends, or even our family members. It's a problem we cannot turn a blind eye to. So, I am dedicating my time and energy to raise funds for this NGO because I aspire to be a part of the solution. I want to stand behind the unwavering dedication of those who are tirelessly working to prevent child sexual abuse. Together, we can bring about a tangible change and ensure a safer, happier future for children worldwide. I sincerely hope that you will join me on this crucial journey, and together, we can strive for a world in which every child can grow up without the shadow of fear and pain. Your support is greatly appreciated and I would like to thank everyone helping eradicate this social evil.
