In India today, 47.44 million children aged 6–17 are out of school (UDISE+ 2023–24).
Behind every number is a child whose dreams are put on hold because of poverty, learning gaps, unsafe environments or responsibilities far beyond their age.
But education is where everything changes — and consistent support is what helps children stay in school year after year.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
Education isn’t a one-time intervention. Children need ongoing support, academically, emotionally and socially to stay in school.
Your monthly donation helps CRY provide:
- Identify and support children at risk of dropping out
- Provide continuous bridge learning to help students overcome learning gaps
- Ensure regular attendance through home visits and counselling
- Support teachers and communities in creating a safe, child-friendly environment
- Provide ongoing nutrition and healthcare checks so children are healthy enough to learn
Your monthly contribution creates stability – the one thing every child needs to succeed..
