From imparting life skills and mentoring children to helping disadvantaged elders and acid attack survivors, the NGOs in India are bringing change one step at a time.
Save the Children is a global non-profit organization that was founded in the year 1919. Today, it is India's leading independent child rights NGO. They run programs in the remotest corners of India and urban areas to provide quality education and healthcare, protection from harm and abuse, etc.
At CRY, they are committed to their vision for a happy, healthy, and creative childhood for every child. They include ensuring children in CRY-supported projects have access to free and quality education, primary healthcare and are safe from violence, abuse, and exploitation.
The NGO has Pan India Operations and is championing the cause of Health, with greater focus on medical emergency support for Children, Quality Education, Access to clean water and Sanitation and Zero hunger.
Smile Foundation is an NGO in India directly benefiting over 750,000 children and their families every year, through more than 350 live welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood, and women empowerment, in over 1000 remote villages and slums across 25 states of India.
The foremost aim of NGOs is to ensure that every child, irrespective of their socio-economic background, has access to quality education. By establishing schools, learning centers, and scholarship programs, NGOs empower unprivileged children with knowledge, helping them break free from the cycle of poverty.
