This Mother’s Day, Help a Mother Keep Her Promise
Across India, every mother dreams of giving her child a better future. But for many families, challenges like poverty, child marriage, unsafe environments, and lack of access to education make that dream difficult to achieve.
At CRY, we meet mothers every day who are trying their best to change this reality for their children. Many of them may not have had the opportunity to study themselves, but they know that education can open doors their children never thought possible.
Every day, they fight to: Keep their children in school; Protect them from child labour and child marriage; Give them safer, brighter futures; Help them grow up with confidence and opportunities.
Because every mother wants her child to have choices in life.

Sometimes, one decision can change the course of a child’s life.
