At CRY, we believe that sending children to school is only part of the solution. To truly prepare them for life, we must also nurture qualities like empathy, confidence, communication, decision-making, and critical thinking. Beyond classrooms and textbooks, children need the tools to navigate the world around them — to speak up, make choices, and stand tall in the face of challenges.
That’s where CRY’s Life Skills Program comes in — a supportive space where children not only learn what to think, but how to think. Here, they grow into confident, empathetic individuals ready to take on life with courage and clarity.
How does it help?
CRY’s Life Skills Program is designed to go beyond books and classrooms. It’s a space where children are encouraged to:
- Express themselves with confidence, so their voices are heard and valued
- Handle peer pressure and build emotional resilience
- Navigate real-life challenges, like unsafe situations or difficult conversations, with courage and clarity
- Understand their rights — and stand up not only for themselves but for others around them
It’s not just about learning; it’s about becoming stronger, braver, and kinder.
Why Life Skills matter?
With the right guidance, children begin to:
- Stay in school and focus on their future
- Speak up against child labour, child marriage, and unsafe environments
- Develop empathy and work with others to bring change to their communities
- Make informed decisions and solve problems with clarity and courage
These aren’t just life skills — they’re tools for transformation.
The Impact So Far
Thousands of children across CRY-supported projects are already seeing the change. They’re growing in confidence, building healthier friendships, participating in community decisions, and dreaming bigger than ever before.
They’re not just learning to survive — they’re learning to lead.
