The Issue

In India, every 15 minutes a child is sexually abused. 1 in every 5 girls and 1 in every 20 boys is a victim of child Sexual Abuse. We, at Amoli are trying every bit to decrease these stats. Take a look at the numbers that we have changed till now. Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a serious and widespread problem in India as it is in many parts of the world today. The trauma associated with sexual abuse can contribute to arrested development, as well as a host of psychological and emotional disorders, that some children and adolescents may never overcome. When sexual abuse goes unreported and children are not given the protective and therapeutic assistance they need, they are left to suffer in silence.

During each session we take a survey in which each and every child have to mark/tick the emotions/emojis that they would’ve felt had they been in the victim’s shoes. The emotions are as follows:

Testimonials

As a volunteer, taking sessions filled me with a sense of calmness and happiness but at the same time, a realization of the actual plight of little innocent girls. The kids were so welcoming and loving, hearing their stories and experiences amazed me that some of those girls were more courageous than I ever was at their age. It was an educative experience altogether and I felt honored to have been a part of such a great organization that focuses on such an important issue.

I have been a part of Amoli for over a year now and so far my experience has been phenomenal. I have never imagined that I’ll be able to educate and leave an impact on so many kids on such an integral and prime topic. Taking sessions with the other volunteers, interacting with the kids, I even never could realize when Amoli became a part of me. It’s no more just an organization for me in fact Amoli is now my family. I feel immensely blessed and utterly delighted to be a part of this noble cause. I AM AMOLI!

Being a survivor, the feeling of safeguarding the future of young minds is overwhelming, what else can I ask for!?

I am proud to be a part of Amoli family and edify kids regarding CSA. The best part about the session is that kids welcome us with great alacrity. Each session culminates with a sense of accomplishment and enables us to move ahead in our journey to make this world better.

Piyush Garg

I knew of Amoli since its inception. And after I joined the team, I gained so much. I got to know so many different people, be it from Amoli or outside. I got to know how to handle school kids (I always wanted to teach kids in a fun way) and how to make work fun. The work was fun because my environment was so positive! All in all it is an amazing experience to be a part of the Amoli family.

Karthik Balaji

I joined Amoli recently and in the few months I’ve been associated with the team, I have learnt so much about our society. The fundamental approach of building from the grassroot level through an eager team of volunteers opened a new world for me. I’ve always wanted to work for the betterment of society, and Amoli gave me just that platform. So proud to be associated with Amoli Trust!

Anshuman Gupta

Amoli began as an opportunity to contribute to a cause I was passionate about, but has now turned into a personal mission to spread the knowledge acquired here as far as possible. The openness to ideas, a flexible yet disciplined work environment and constant support of the leaders is commendable and has improved me as an individual. However, interacting with the kids is simply the best experience of them all!

Mehak Sharma

The news and stories about innocent kids becoming victim of something cruel have always been daunting and heartbreaking. I wanted to help and when I came across Amoli while searching about the topic, I immediately felt the need to join. The idea of eradicating the problem from root really fascinated me and I immediately joined in.

Chhavi Keswani

Amoli today to me is a feeling! A feeling of empowerment, a feeling of love and definently a feeling of belonging. When I sit down to think about what have I accomplished being in this organization, I'd be likely to say courage. A huge amount of courage and strength!

Arundhati Agomacharyya

It is believed 8 hugs a day are a necessity but that goes true betore i took my first amoli session with 3 class girls. In the end they ll just rushed with excitement to give a high five or a hug ofcourse with consent;). Remembering that day still brings a smile on my face till date.

Rohan Taluja

I always look forward to taking sessions and spending time with these little kids. It’s very enlightening to make them aware about CSA and learning about the situations they’ve been in and how they’ve fought for their own safety boldly. The past 2 years with Amoli have helped me to not only make the kids aware about CSA but making myself confident about my safety as well.

Niharika Khera

Amoli has made me learn a lot of things, patience being the most important one. Working with Amoli has always been amazing. From taking sessions to working on a blog to everything, it is always fun and very knowledgeable. Nothing really gives me the amount of fulfilment as Amoli does. The entire core and team is like a family to me which I would never want to stop being a part of.

Bhumika Malhotra

I joined Amoli for the cause which it is working on and it has been doing a great job in spreading awareness about CSA. AMOLI has made me in a way more expressive and confident and I really miss taking sessions in school especially in this lockdown period.

Volunteering with Amoli was a real time experience. It not only enhanced my photography and creativity skills but also gave me a sense of fulfillment. Interacting with the kids in new ways has taught me more than I’ve taught them!

Aarushi Kapoor

I always look forward to taking sessions and spending time with these more than positive and innocent kids. It’s very enlightening to make them aware about CSA and learning about the situations they’ve been in and how they’ve fought for their own safety boldly.

The best thing about working with Amoli is that there is never any unnecessary workload and everything is adjusted as per the members. It has been a delightful journey for me, seeing the children learn with such enthusiasm.

Vaibhav Monga

My experience with Amoli has been nothing short of ethereal. It was so empowering and satisfying to know and work for the cause. The best part was seeing the hesitant smiles of the kids turn into smiles of adoration by the end of the session and the sense of achievement that comes alongside it!
