At Need Base India (A Foundation for Child Care & Development), our Theory of Change is based on the belief that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow and develop to their full potential. We recognize that the well-being of children is interconnected with the well-being of their families and communities. Therefore, our interventions are designed to not only address the immediate needs of children but also to build the capacity of parents and caregivers to provide long-term support and care for their children.

Our Theory of Change is cantered around the following key assumptions:
Assumption 1: Children have the right to be protected from all forms of violence, abuse, and exploitation.
Assumption 2: Children who are healthy and well-nourished are more likely to thrive and reach their full potential.
Assumption 3: Education is a fundamental human right and a key driver of social and economic development.
Assumption 4: Children who have access to quality education are more likely to break the cycle of poverty and contribute positively to their communities.
Assumption 5: Parents and caregivers play a critical role in shaping the development and well-being of their children.

Based on these assumptions, our Theory of Change is as follows:
1. We work to prevent and respond to violence, abuse, and exploitation of children by providing protection services and advocating for child rights.
2. We improve the health and well-being of children by providing access to quality health services, nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions.
3. We ensure that children have access to quality education by providing formal and non-formal education programs that are relevant to their needs and context.
4. We support parents and caregivers by providing parenting education, livelihood support, and access to social protection services.
5. We engage with communities and key stakeholders to raise awareness of child rights and promote positive social norms that support the well-being of children.
6. We monitor and evaluate the impact of our interventions to ensure that they are effective in achieving the desired outcomes for children.

Through these interventions, we aim to achieve the following outcomes:
Outcome 1: Children are protected from violence, abuse, and exploitation.
Outcome 2: Children are healthy and well-nourished.
Outcome 3: Children have access to quality education.
Outcome 4: Parents and caregivers are empowered to provide long-term support and care for their children.
Outcome 5: Communities are aware of child rights and supportive of the well-being of children.

Ultimately, our Theory of Change is grounded in the belief that every child has the potential to thrive and contribute positively to their communities, and that by investing in their well-being and development, we can create a brighter future for all.
