Programmes

Programme Title
Description
Care Planning Programme for approximately 45 girl children.
State
  • Karnataka
District
  • Bengaluru (Bangalore) Rural
The Care Planning programme was devised by Adie Kean, an experienced social worker from the UK, specifically for Baale Mane as an organisation. It ensures that we consistently reach high standards of care and focus on each girl child as an individual as well as part of the Baale Mane family. It is taught using workbooks which the girl children complete daily, and which provide space for recording thoughts and emotions allowing us to monitor their progress and development.

The care planning programme is integral to providing the Baale Mane girl children with a high standard of well-rounded care. The topics covered are: health and wellbeing, talents and learning, relationships, my dreams and hopes for the future. Adding a rating system we offer them a way to simply express their feelings about their current situation, answering questions such as: "Do I take care of my body and soul?" "Do I feel confident/self-assured about myself?", and "What is troubling me?". We then compare these responses to previous reports to see how the girls are progressing.
Transition Programme for girl children between 10th standard and 2nd PUC
State
  • Karnataka
District
  • Bengaluru (Bangalore) Rural
The transition programme began out of a need to begin preparing the girl children at Baale Mane for life beyond the Baale – whether they’re working or studying whilst living in the city. It also acknowledges that they have entered a more mature phase of their life, so the questions become more challenging accordingly. It also uses workbooks as the tool for recording the girl children’s emotions, thoughts and progress.

The programme is delivered by the External Relations Manager, who takes 11 sessions of 1 hour each which cover health and wellbeing, careers guidance, relationships and communication, decision-making, human rights, sexual health and budgeting, staying safe and time management.
Independence Programme for girl children living independently outside of Baale Mane
State
  • Karnataka
District
  • Bengaluru (Bangalore) Rural
The Independence Programme works on supporting the girl children who are living in the city remotely and through specific sessions on dealing with life outside Baale Mane. This includes practicalities such as bus schedules and travel, hygiene and health, nutrition, and emotional wellbeing and relationships.

The programme is implemented through daily calls with a Baale Mane caretaker, weekly calls with the Independence keyworker and sessions conducted at Baale Mane on all of the topics. The topics are: confidence, health, planning, college/institution/job and finally, evaluation of own growth.

Organisation Profile

Brief Description
The Baale Mane, literally meaning “Girls Home”, is a long-term shelter home for up to 60 girl children between the ages of 6 – 18. The home is located approximately 35 km north-west of Bangalore city centre near Heseraghatta.

Baale Mane is dedicated to the care of girls from vulnerable backgrounds such as, domestic violence and child labour. Unlike many other children’s homes, Baale Mane aims to provide girls from disadvantaged backgrounds long-term support in an environment that resembles a home, not a hostel. The objective of the home is to give each of the girls a fulfilling and happy childhood and to nurture and resource them so that they may lead a self-sustaining adult life.

Care at Baale is focused on the four principles of the 1989 UN Convention on the rights of the child; survival, protection, development and participation. Special emphasis is given to education and informal learning such as art, drama and dance. All of the girls attend schools in the local area.

The Baale Mane was founded by the Paraspara Trust in 2001 but has since become a separate organisation. The Baale is now governed by a board of Trustees in India – The Baale Mane Trust and a separate charitable trust in the UK – The Friends of The Baale Mane Gopalapura. The home has been managed with the dedication and commitment of Mary C, since its inception. All running costs for the home are raised by the two charitable trusts in India and the UK. The majority of funds are raised through the generosity of individuals with occasional sponsorship from corporations.
