Given our experience of almost three decades of working with and for children, we have realised that if you care enough about the situation of underprivileged Indian children, enough to want to change it, to do something, YOU CAN.

Like all of us, Rippan (our late founder) got upset to see the disparities that exist between children. He hated to see children begging and working as domestic help. Unlike most of us, though, he did something about it. To enable a lasting change, all it takes is to stand up for what is the right thing to do.

At CRY, what binds us is the belief that "Change is possible. Because I'll make it possible." It is this zeal that enables individuals, organisations, corporate houses, and institutions, originating from various parts of India and overseas, representing every ethnic, linguistic, religious and ideological persuasion, to come together to restore to children what is rightfully theirs - a childhood.

Each of you can get involved by contributing your time, talent, skills and dedication to raise funds through events, sales of products and donations. Your commitment forms the core of this indigenous Indian movement that today involves over 150,000 individuals and organisations, all who believe in the rights of children.
