Harmony House Activities report 1[st] April 2022 – 31[st] March 2023

Harmony House is a completely non-profit organisation that strives to provide underprivileged women and children in India with education, nutrition, medical service, hygiene facilities, social services, food distribution, vocational training, love and care. We are dedicated to our children’s future, which is why we provide schooling as well as vocational training to our older children in areas such as yoga, cosmetology, tailoring and music, enabling them to pursue more opportunities. However, we are more than a centre for children.

At Harmony House we give opportunities for employment to our children’s parents allowing us to benefit the whole community.

Causes Close to Our Hearts

GENERAL EDUCATION

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to get an education, learn, explore and flourish from a young age.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

Our long-term objective at Harmony House is to provide each of our children with realistic goals and aspirations and most importantly, ensure that they have the tools to achieve them.

MEDICAL AID AND RELIEF

At Harmony House, we provide regular medical facilities at our centres for our children and their families - a vital offering due to the lack of facilities in the slums where they live.

NUTRITIONAL CARE

We are proud to serve healthy, wholesome and highly nutritious meals at Harmony House. Each day, our cooks, many of whom are parents of enrolled children, prepare over 3,000 meals, which amounts to 792.000 meals a year.

CARE PACKAGE DISTRIBUTION DRIVE

Pandemic lockdowns have had a significant impact on the communities we care for. Initiated in March 2020. our life-saving care package distribution ensures families receive essential rations of food and hygiene products until they get back on their feet. This ongoing initiative continues to help sustain families with little or no income-earning abilities. To date, Harmony House has helped distribute care packages to over 25,000 people

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Oppressive patriarchy disguised as traditional values and practices has resulted in a prevalence of domestic violence, marital sexual abuse and suppression of women and children. At Harmony House, we are working hard to tackle these issues by holding regular workshops on a variety of social topics such as normalizing periods, sexual assault, self-defense, the prevention of child marriages.

Sports and Wellness Initiative at Harmony House

At Harmony House, we realise the importance and effectiveness of sports as a way to generate wellness and a positive mindset. It also presents a great opportunity for our children to excel and explore potential careers in this area. We launched our sports and wellness initiative in 2022 integrating physical education through out the years at Harmony House.

Some of our specialized activities include kabaddi, chess, yoga and tennis. We have a full-time Sports and Wellness Coordinator who helps integrates all of our 1,000 children into various sports and wellness programmes. Children that excel in this area are placed on our accelerated sports program.

Motivated by the importance of mental health, we have included an in-house qualified child psychologist to our team. Her role involves career counselling and

helping students deal with the traumas of domestic violence, grief and other challenges they may face.

Hope at Harmony House Special Needs Education

In 2021, we opened a Special Needs Wing at Harmony House, aligning with our mission to provide care, support, and opportunities to all children, regardless of their abilities or needs. We have enrolled over 20 special needs children and plan to expand further. These children had been diagnosed with ADHD cerebral palsy, nerve damage and speech and hearing difficulties. To support the children and ensure their safety and progress, we:

• We provide a dedicated therapy room with all the necessary equipment, assistance and individualized therapies.

• Partnered with a Special Needs Organization for expert assistance.

• Schedule monthly therapies for 10 children that include six therapies per child per week.

• Provide routine check ups, x-rays and screening tests.

• Provide equipment, tools and resources to aid effective therapy.

• Provide children with customized mobility and hearing aid provisions.

• Customise children’s homes for better accessibility and mobility in line with their ongoing treatments and therapies.

Our set up

Early learning years centre

The early education years are fundamental to building a foundation for learning that will stay with a child forever. Our Early Learning Wing accommodates over 150 children from as young as six months up to six years of age.

Primary years centre

Our Primary Years centre opened its doors in September 2022 which has enabled us to add an additional 300 children.

It has classrooms, a dining area, an IT lab, an outdoor area for sports, a kitchen that cooks 3 meals a day for 400 children (ELY and Primary centre).

Senior students centre

The Senior Students Centre, which is also our first, contains our head office, classrooms for older children, an IT Lab, two kitchens, a medical clinic and common areas.

Middle years centre

There are currently 300 students at the Middle Years Centre ranging from grades one to five.

We have classrooms, two kitchens, a vocational wing, an IT Lab and a Special Needs Department at this centre.

The students in this centre are till 8 years of age and then move on to the middle years centre. This centre accommodates about 250 children.

Pooja(22 years old) had an accident in 2016 and lost her right foot. Her entire life came to a halt and she lost all hope.Harmony House heard about Pooja’s plight a few weeks ago and on investigating further and meeting different specialists we were able to organise a custommade cast and a prosthetic foot made of carbon fiber laminated socket with cushioning to relieve her pain and provide her with walking support. Pooja is now able to walk with more comfort, confidence and independence.

Our first ever cricket tournament and what an incredible morning we had. Whether you were playing on the team, a cheer leader, a commentator, member of the band or cheering in the audience, it was great to be a part of it.

Did you know that Kabaddi is a contact team sport. Played between two teams of seven players, the objective of the game is for a single player on offence, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half of a court, touch out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are touched or tackled, but are brought back in for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle. We have began our Kabaddi training program

Congratulations to our seniors on completing their level 1 of our certified beauty course. We are so proud of each and every one of you. Ready for level 2 girls

dental camps throughout @harmonyhouseindia 60 of our children have been advised that they need further miner treatments such as fillings. While many may believe that taking care of teeth is not a priority, good health begins with good teach. Sadly so many serious infections and poor nutrition starts with teeth so keeping our children’s smiles healthy is imperative for good health.

Inclusivity is one of our daily and important practices. Our children of determination not only receive the bespoke therapies they require, but also integrate into our mainstream classes. This also benefits out children who learn so much from their unique friends including love, compassion, diversity and friendship
