Our Mission

We nurture creative, connected and compassionate leadership in vulnerable children and youth through Social Emotional Learning and Development.

WHY SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING MATTERS

Because Emotional Well-being and Social Belonging
Is The Right Of Every Child

From Self-Awareness to Decision Making

AURA works with children and youth to guide them through stages of self-discovery, emotional regulation, and a deeper understanding of diversity and social oppression. Ultimately, we support them in envisioning and shaping the life they want to lead. By fostering greater awareness and understanding of their inner world, our participants are empowered to make healthy, conscious decisions for themselves.

After taking sessions with SARAI, I have started understanding small things and have also started handling every challenge in my classroom easily. I am ready to overcome every problem with peace within me and fight the challenges that life brings.

Amrita Sharma

Teacher, Sarv Saarthi Foundation

Thanks to Sambhav, I now know that there are places like this for youth in Vadodara. I’m not usually very good at sharing my feelings openly. It’s hard for me to be vulnerable. But the people in my group and the prompts helped me to share my thoughts. I think I’ll be able to express myself better from now on.
