Challenge

Child labor is illegal in India - yet, it continues to be a critical issue with over 33 million children, between the ages of 6 and 18 years of age, working as child laborers. We've all seen child labor in some form or the other in our day to day lives - be it at tea stalls, factories, or even as domestic help. Not only are these children deprived of the opportunity of going to school, but they are also vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. In many villages, most girls who leave their school aft

Solution

CRY has been working relentlessly to ensure that children are protected from being exploited, enrolled in school and not deprived of the opportunity to chase their dreams. We do this by focusing on: Identifying and tracking potential cases of impending child labour and child marriage. Building awareness on the ill effects of child labour. Ensuring that children are able to go back to school.

Long-Term Impact

Through our programmes, we try to sensitise communities in villages towards the ill effects of child marriage and child labour on a regular basis. Additionally, we constantly work with influential government officials and most importantly with parents to encourage children to go to school. We hope that through our efforts, children will grow in a protected environment and be aware of their rights. They will be in a position to help their peers and others in the community.
