Catalyst for Social Action (CSA) is dedicated to creating brighter futures for vulnerable children. With a mission rooted in providing orphans and children in care with a nurturing, supportive, and enriching environment, CSA emphasizes the importance of a family-like setting beyond meeting basic needs. For CSA, true "basic needs" include a sense of belonging, safety, and hope.

Major Interventions:

Childcare institutions (CCIs) enhance rehabilitative services for children. By supporting improved physical facilities, sanitation, nutrition, and medical care, CSA helps ensure a healthier environment for children. CSA’s programs in education, life skills, recreation, and vocational training promote positive development, while regular training for CCI staff in effective childcare practices ensures lasting, quality care for the children.

Aftercare &Livelihood: This program includes individual assessments, aftercare planning, need-based support, and mentorship to help young adults reach their goals. The Emotional Wellness initiative enhances mental health with multi-tiered support through awareness, accessible online counseling, and advanced care for those needing it. CSA’s Job Readiness initiative, designed with Munificent Consulting, equips participants with essential workplace skills. Additionally, CSA has expanded its efforts to support children in conflict with the law, collaborating with various stakeholders to provide counseling, skill development, and rehabilitation.

Education & Child Development: It provides comprehensive academic support, including hiring tuition teachers for extra support in language and mathematics, providing essential learning materials, and offering coaching for critical grade 10 and 12 exams. CSA conducts regular assessments to monitor progress and impact, bi-monthly classroom engagements by program officers, and monthly review meetings with tuition teachers and CCI staff. Additionally, CSA covers school fees and provides uniforms, shoes, and stationery, ensuring children have the resources and guidance to succeed academically.

Health, Hygiene & Sanitation: Essential facilities and resources are provided to children in care. CSA supports the construction of toilets, kitchens, and access to potable water, alongside supplying sanitation kits, daily essentials, and supplementary nutrition. Regular health check-ups in dental, eye, ENT, and physical care are conducted biannually, with follow-up treatment for identified needs. CSA also organizes health and hygiene awareness training for both children and staff, ensuring sustained health benefits and improved living conditions in childcare institutions.

Partnering with the government, CSA advocates for better policies, support systems, and care quality through data-driven insights and research.
