Programme Overview
At CKG, we believe that every child has the right to live safely, freely, and with dignity. Our Rights, Responsibilities & Life-skills Empowerment Programme is designed to educate children about their fundamental rights and responsibilities, the child legal framework, and practical ways to protect themselves and others from abuse and exploitation.
Through engaging, interactive workshops, children learn how the law safeguards their rights, how to recognize violations, and how to seek support and justice. The programme also fosters critical life skills, encouraging peer dialogue, mutual respect, and positive social action on pressing issues affecting children at home, school, and in the community.
