1. Health and Nutrition – CRY works to ensure that children receive access to quality healthcare facilities.
2. Education – The project team not only works with children and their families to help them understand the crucial role education plays to break out of the circle of
poverty but also works to activate schools and strengthen existing ones.
3. Protection – This one of the additional issues that CRY tackles as part of its overall thematic areas. The work is focused on preventing child labour, child marriage,
trafficking, and other forms of exploitation of vulnerable children.
4. Participation – CRY also works towards providing children with a platform where they can voice their concerns and issues and support each other.
Our approach includes:
Addressing immediate, critical needs of children e.g., providing non-formal education classes to drop-outs.
Influencing knowledge, attitudes and practices of parents that impact children e.g., breast feeding practices
Mobilisation and empowerment of underprivileged communities
Capacity building of service providers e.g., teachers, Anganwadi Teachers etc.
Sensitising and seeking action from the public to create an ecosystem where children become a priority and enjoy their rights
Generating funds and resources (voice, time, skills) from individuals and institutions.
Overall, through this work CRY has impacted nearly 3 million children and changed their lives for the better.

Appeal

A happy, healthy and creative child whose rights are protected and honoured in a society that is built on respect for dignity, justice and equity for all. The focus is on upholding and advancing the fundamental rights of children and the ultimate goal is fostering the well-being and development of children across various aspects of their lives.
