Theory of Change

Theory of Change (ToC) framework for Udayan Care outlines the causal pathway from inputs to long-term impact, incorporating all key program domains.
Ultimate Goal (Impact): A society where vulnerable children and youth in India grow up in nurturing families or family-like environments, achieve their full potential, live dignified, self-reliant lives, and contribute positively to their communities and their country.

Core Assumptions

  1. Stable, nurturing environments (family or family-like) are fundamental to a child’s healthy development.
  2. Holistic support (education, emotional care, life skills, vocational training, mentorship) enables vulnerable individuals to break cycles of disadvantage.
  3. Strengthening families prevents child separation and institutionalization.
  4. Empowering girls and women leads to stronger families and communities.
  5. Care Leavers (youth exiting institutional care) require dedicated support for a successful transition to adulthood.
  1. Systemic change requires evidence-based advocacy, capacity building through trainings, research and developing dialogue through conferences, and policy advocacy.

How Change Happens (The Pathways)

  1. Direct Service to Transformation: Providing immediate care and protection (Udayan Ghar) creates the foundation for healing and development. Sequential support (Aftercare, AOP, LIFT, Care Leavers Networks) equips youth for independence. Education & Skilling (Shalini, Skilling) provides pathways out of poverty.
  2. Prevention is Key: Strengthening Families (FIT) prevents child-family separation, thereby reducing the need for alternative care.
  3. Empowerment & Agency: Programs such as Shalini, AOP, LIFT, and Skilling focus on building confidence, leadership, and skills, enabling beneficiaries to become agents of change in their own lives and communities.
  4. The L.I.F.E. Principle: The core philosophy of “Living in Family Environment” underpins all interventions, whether in group homes, family strengthening, or promoting family-based alternative care through practices and advocacy.
  5. Amplifying Impact through Systems Change: Advocacy, Research, and Training leverage Udayan Care’s on-ground experience to influence policies, improve practices across the sector, and build nationwide capacity, multiplying the impact beyond direct beneficiaries.
