Communications Interns
About the organisation:
TARA is a joint venture run by two organizations: One Indian Trust named ONYVA and one French NGO/not-for-profit association named CHAYA FRANCE. Working in New Delhi for the last 11 years, we protect children from vulnerability and abuse with a diverse set of programs:- We prevent family separation: TARA Outreach Center is a Day-Care Center for a marginalized community in Saidulajab, South Delhi, India. We work at the community level to identify situations of abuse, mobilize family resources so they can find their own solutions. We also provide quality education to the children through 4 classes: nursery, bridge class, open class and intensive class.
- We rescue and accommodate as a measure of last-resort children whose life is at risk in their natural environment. These placements are ordered by the Judiciary, only when they are absolutely necessary. We run three Homes for “Children in Need of Care and Protection” registered by the Ministry of Woman and Child under the Juvenile and Justice Act, 2015. These 3 homes are: TARA Tots, TARA Boys and TARA Girls.
- We equip the children to fly their own wings: TARA Big Birds enables young adults having grown in TARA Homes to access autonomy.
