Program and Core Modalities

  • Multi-Modal Delivery

    Our model is designed to remain flexible and inclusive, especially in settings
    where connectivity is unreliable. While our long-term goal is to offer a full range of digital and low-tech
    learning options, current resources allow us to prioritise online learning spaces as the programme’s primary
    mode. As funding grows, additional modalities can be phased in.

  • Online learning spaces

    The program is built around practical, accessible digital tools that learners
    already know such as Zoom, Google Meet, andGoogle Classroom. These platforms allow us to create
    consistent online learning spaces even in low-resource or crisis settings. While our long-term vision
    includes adding more low-tech and offline options, our current focus is on strengthening this online-first
    model.

  • Offline/self-study kits

    As resources grow, the program can integrate radio segments, SMS check-ins,
    printable guides, or offline study kits for learners who struggle with even minimal connectivity.

Mentorship, Psychosocial Support & Safeguarding

Mandatory training for all mentors in safeguarding, trauma-awareness, digital safety, and inclusive pedagogy.

Establishing confidential reporting and referral pathways using encrypted forms, secure email, pseudonymised user IDs, and anonymised logs. Existing mechanism is through safeguardteam.voicesofbahar@gmail.com

We are trying to build partnerships with local/regional protection and psychosocial actors (NGOs, UN agencies) for referral support where feasible.

Periodic mentor supervision and wellbeing support to prevent burnout.

Integration of wellbeing check-ins, reflective sessions, and optional peer-support groups for learners.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation

Identity Exposure
