Donate for Online Safety for Children

Why Children?

113 million children in India are growing up online. Help make sure they know what to do when something online doesn’t feel right. (Source: CIET, NCERT, 2025)

For today’s children, the internet is where they learn, play, make friends and discover the world. But children came online faster than anyone taught them how to be there.

When CRY spoke to 630 adolescents from Delhi NCR in 2020:

1 in 2 had experienced online bullying
1 in 4 had seen morphed photos or videos
Only half had told an adult

Reported cybercrimes against children have risen nearly 20 times since 2017, reaching 1,753 cases in 2024. (NCRB, 2024)

Sometimes, two seconds can make all the difference.

CRY’s Ting Tong initiative teaches children one simple habit: pause before you click, share, reply or trust: https://www.cry.org/online-safety-for-children/

That small pause can give a child the moment they need to recognise something is wrong, and choose a safer next step.

But children can’t do it alone.

Here’s how CRY is helping children stay safer online:

Building awareness: Conducting age-appropriate sessions with children and adolescents on online bullying, fake profiles, scams, manipulated images and safer online behaviour.
Creating trusted support systems: Training Digital Rakshaks: adults who work closely with children and can recognise online risks, respond calmly and help children get support when something goes wrong. When CRY first ran this training, 70% of these adults did not know what cybercrimes against children looked like or how to report one. By the end, 95% called it essential to their work.
Empowering parents and teachers: Equipping the adults children trust with the knowledge and tools to talk about online safety and respond when a child reaches out.
Making safety part of everyday childhood: Working with schools, communities and cyber crime officials so children know how to recognise risks, report abuse and seek help.

Every child deserves to explore the digital world without having to face its dangers alone.

Your contribution will help CRY reach more children with online safety awareness and build a stronger circle of support around them.
