In 2014, Leher partnered with Sarvo Prayas Sansthan (SPS) to develop and implement a community based preventive child protection initiative in the district of Madhubani in Bihar, India. The program focuses on organizing and capacity building communities, to take self-driven initiative and to work in collaboration with the government to protect and keep their children safe. Leher adopts a participatory approach to the work in communities, encouraging them to set the agenda for issues they want to address. The position taken with communities is that this program does not bring the answers, but would instead hand hold communities through a journey of transformation. This report presents the learning from that initiative.
