Millions of children in India still struggle for basic rights—education, nutrition, healthcare, and safety. Many are forced into child labor, early marriage, or drop out of school due to poverty. But you can help change that.
At CRY – Child Rights and You, we believe every child deserves a happy, healthy, and secure childhood. For over four decades, we have been working to break the cycle of poverty and give children the opportunities they deserve. Your support can help them build a brighter future.
