Samraksha also works with children and adolescents in Koppal, focusing on improving mental health and building resilience. Many of these young people face multiple adversities — economic hardship, loss of a parent, family separation, or alcoholism within the family.

In smaller, fast-growing cities like Koppal, where families often migrate from villages and lose traditional support systems, these challenges are even more pronounced.

Our programme responds with a range of capacity-building and support initiatives designed to help young people cope with difficulties, strengthen resilience, and realize their full potential. We are working with around 800 children and adolescents in Koppal.
