Started in 1979, CRY – Child Rights and You is a top NGO in India working for children. For over 4 decades it has been working towards creating happier and healthier childhoods. With its headquarters in Mumbai, CRY has offices in top cities in India including Delhi, Bangalore and Kolkata. Being the best NGO in India for child rights, it works toward addressing the issue of child education, health & nutrition, child labour and child marriage through its 102 projects spread across 19 states in India.
At CRY, being one of the most trusted NGOs in India, we’re committed to doing everything we can to protect the rights of children. We work on 4 key programmatic areas for children: education, safety & protection, health & nutrition and participation. To create a sustainable change for India’s children, we address their critical needs by working with parents, teachers, Anganwadi workers, communities, district and state-level governments as well as the children themselves. Thanks to the support of people like you, so far we’ve impacted over 3 million children in India.
But we have miles to go and need your help.
Out of 472 million children in India today, many are still unable to go to school, do not get proper nutrition or healthcare and are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
