Our Approach
At Seedling Foundation, our focus is to bring about holistic and lasting change within the systems we work at, including the Dongri Observation Home, DeepRoots Center, Department of Women & Child Development and other projects. The work thereby positively impacts the lives of Children in Conflict with Law (CCL), the staff who work with them, and the institutional system as a whole.
We believe that true transformation requires more than surface-level solutions. Our approach is rooted in addressing the deeper needs of individuals and systems through:
Inner Transformation
Facilitating personal growth, emotional healing, and the cultivation of compassion and consciousness among children
Mental Health Support
Promoting emotional well-being and psychological resilience through structured support and sensitivity
Mindset Shift
Working with both children and staff to cultivate healthier, more empathetic perspectives
Environmental Change
Creating a more positive, nurturing, and structured space within the Observation Home
Socio-Emotional Learning and Educational Exposure
Designing programs that emphasize values and manners, emotional awareness, and broad knowledge and exposure based on curiosity rather than textbook style teaching
Identifying and Addressing Systemic Gaps
Observing and analyzing the system to recognize what is missing—and actively working to bridge those gaps
Importantly, our work does not involve direct engagement with the legal aspects of the children’s cases. Instead, we focus on complementing the legal process through social, emotional, and structural support.
We believe that by working on these areas with the right intention and a motivated team, we can positively impact the lives of many children. Our ultimate aim is to create a peaceful and happier home environment that will empower the children to become better individuals, reintegrate into society, and contribute to making society a more harmonious place.
Join us in our journey to make a difference in the lives of these children and create a brighter future for them.
