Theory of Change

Theory of Change (ToC) framework for Udayan Care, based on its mission, programs, and impact history. This ToC outlines the causal pathway from inputs to long-term impact, incorporating all key program domains. This Theory of Change provides a clear roadmap for Udayan Care, illustrating how its diverse programs work individually and synergistically towards its mission and ultimate vision, grounded in its core values and proven models.

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 successful transition to adulthood.
  6. Systemic change requires evidence-based advocacy, capacity building through trainings, research and developing dialogue through conferences, and policy influence.

Key Indicators

Outputs: children/youth served, training sessions held, policy submissions made, research reports published, conferences organised.


Core Assumptions: % children showing improved well-being (psychosocial scales), % youth in aftercare with stable income, % Shalinis completing higher education, % youth enabled through vocational training and employed, families reporting reduced stress/improved parenting.


Long Term Outcomes: % care-leavers living independently & stably after 2 years, % Shalini alumnae in employment/HE, systemic changes adopted (e.g., state aftercare policies), reduction in child institutionalization rates in intervention areas, policies influenced by advocacy.


Impact: Improved national indicators on child well-being, family strength, youth employment, and reduced child vulnerability; Anecdotal evidence of generational change in communities served.
