WHAT WE DO
Every child goes through an all-round development programme at our learning centers to enrich their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing while furthering their education. We impact this through 8 key areas of intervention.
EDUCATION
HECT aspires to address the academic need of every child. In addition to paying fees and providing school supplies, we individually assess each child to identify core strengths and build independent study skills through our After school and In- school coaching and mentoring programs.
FOOD
With the support and assistance of mothers from the community , HECT also ensures that every child receives nutritious snacks and supplements every day. Every Sunday the children are served a special lunch.
LIFE SKILLS
HECT provides life skills to children to enable them to effectively handle the demands and challenges commonly encountered in daily life. One on one and Group Counseling are also being provided to ensure emotional well-being and positive mental health of the children.
RECREATION
HECT fosters an environment for each child to participate in leisure and recreation HECTivities so as to encourage creative expression and stimulation. Candle making, decoupage, dance, music are some of the classes organized throughout the year. Children are taken for fun outings and trips.
MENTORING
Professionals from various organizations mentor the senior students at HECT. This enables them to gain self confidence and develop employability skills. The Senior students also mentor the junior children by teaching and engaging them productively.
SPORTS
Physical activity increases self confidence and self esteem in children. Therefore HECT engages the children in activities like Yoga, Karate and Cricket so as to provide a perfect outlet to keep the children stay active and to give them necessary skills to succeed later in their lives.
HEALTH
HECT organises routine health camps and vaccination drives against Typhoid, MMR and Hepatitis B. Every child is provided with protein mix as a dietary supplement regularly. To assess overall improvement, height and weight of each child is recorded at the beginning and end of the academic year.
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
Financial literacy and independence ensure a strong foundation for building dreams. HECT enables every child and their mother to have and to operate a bank account.
