IT TAKES
ALL OF US
Over the years, our mission has been to identify invisible, vulnerable children and locate our work where violence, exploitation and neglect are most prevalent. This has included state child-care institutions for child survivors, prison creches and residential schools for indigenous adivasi children in districts with the highest incidence of harm.
We partner with communities, frontline workers and governments to strengthen systems of protection. Our goal is collective, coordinated action for child safety.
