That’s 47.44 million dreams interrupted – children who are missing out on the joy of learning, the safety of classrooms, and the chance to build a better future. Many are forced to drop out due to poverty, child labour, early marriage, or lack of access to basic education.
This festive season, you can help change that by giving the gift of education to children who need it most.
At CRY – Child Rights and You, we believe that every child deserves to learn, grow, and thrive.
With your support, we aim to ensure 2.4 lakh children stay in school and continue learning.

💛 Why Your Support Matters More Than Ever
Education is more than just a right, it’s the foundation for a better life. An educated child is more likely to grow up healthy, avoid early marriage, access better jobs, and uplift their entire family out of poverty.
And in a country as young and vibrant as India, investing in children’s education is the most powerful investment we can make for our future.
👉 Give the Gift of Education
Let’s build a brighter India — one child, one classroom at a time. This festive season, be the reason a child stays in school.
