Our curriculum does indeed look at mother and child healthcare. In particular through women's rights to choose safe and practical family planning, and also sexual health. We work with men to understand these issues from a women's perspective and encourage them to advocate these practices in their home and their communities.
Thank you for your input. We really work hard to provide Gold Standard monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Each project we work on has M&E on four stakeholders:
1. The men we work with: We expect the men to demonstrate treat women with more resoect and dignity after training;
2. The women who live with and next to the men; we expect women to notice this change;
3. The community at large; as a result of our outreach program, and
4. Programs for the women in the same community; as a result of the support they will begin to receive from men.
Thank you for your message. We are indeed replicating the program to deal with other issues. For example, we include learning objectives that support women in the host community. We work with local NGOs to identify the key issues women face in the community, and we incorporate these issues into our training. Our curriculum is therefor bespoke for each community.
For example, in our pilot in Bibwewadi we are incorporating modules that explore the importance of education for girls, women, wives and mothers because the local NGO we work with has a drive to increase the educational attainment of women in the community.
We go in a community centre were the men are not aware with the sexual relation because they know what is sex but they don’t know the precaution to take. So we like to give much more information to them that they will not spoil there life’s. The age we are working is 14 t0 18.
India needs programmes which help to make Indian men's mentality friendly towards women. Now a days there are very few such programmes.Solar Cinema's training activity will help to change the attitude of Indian men in right age. They will get the knowledge of Gender Equality, HIV Aids, Domestic Violence, Reproductive health and sex education.This activity will indirectly support women empowerment activities.
We are one of only a handful of organisations working with men directly in the community here in Pune, and although there are increasing interventions with men in support of women, very few of them operate at a large scale. Examples of very effective organisations that we are in contact with are SAMYAK and MAVA.
We hope to train over 800 men in 2011
In 2010 we will open a further 19 community cinemas which will have the capacity to deliver our 40 hour curriculum to over 800 young men. That's over 32,000 man hours of training!
By 2015 we hope to have trained over 15,000 young men curriculum.
Its been a pleasure working with you on The Solar Cinema concept over the last few years, I hope it all goes well, and lets Skype on the latest website designs!
One of a kind... touches hearts and souls.. I have worked here before as an intern and those 3 months were very enriching.. I can proudly say that I have been with Solar Cinema during its incorporation. I wish every success in its future endeavors.

Glad to see someone is tackling the difficult issue of domestic violence with an innovative approach focusing on young men.
I think your cinema approach could be used in the same way to engage men in maternal and child healthcare projects.
Can you send me some more details please.

What an excellent project. And a concept that can presumably be replicated to deal with other issues too? I look forward to following progress.
