ChildFund India is a child-focused development organization, working in 123 districts across 14 states. Through our programs, we reach to children fro Read morem the most marginalized communities with support from community leaders, local administrators and organizations and the government. Annually, we reach to at least 4.7 million children and their families through holistic, innovative and sustainable interventions. These interventions, based on health, nutrition, education, livelihood, gender and child protection, are created alongside communities and other stakeholders to ensure sustainability and longevity of programs. Largely, we work towards ensuring that children thrive in safe and conducive environment and are enabled to break free of the vicious cycle of generational poverty.


Issue

Health : Child health is a multifaceted issue, which is predominantly linked to a mother’s health conditions, her access to safe delivery conditions, the socio-economic status of the family and the healthcare system. ChildFund India supports community-based healthcare to address underserved children’s health needs from infancy to young adulthood, along with prenatal care and maternal health. For this, our health experts and dedicated staff, together, create smart solutions that adapt to the unique health challenges of communities across the country to ensure good health of children, adults and communities. ChildFund India’s health interventions are implemented in 60 districts in 14 states. Education : ChildFund India’s educational interventions focus on ensuring quality education, improving enrolment and reducing drop-out rates among the most disadvantaged children. We believe that for children who belong to marginalized communities, access to education would change their lifetime of exclusion to becoming an active member of society. In this regard, we work towards improving the learning abilities of children between the ages of 3 and 18 years. We develop their critical thinking abilities and make them sensitive human beings by including age-appropriate learning outcomes and socio-emotional learning skills in our approach. Livelihood: ChildFund India’s life cycle approach starts from a child’s conception and continues till a healthy, educated child becomes a self-reliant, financially secure young adult who contributes actively to the family, community and society. Our livelihood programs in sync with the changing market needs and opportunities strive to prepare the youth work ready through technical and vocational training. We work on building their life skills involving personal competencies, problem-solving and managing conflicts, effective habits, entrepreneurship, and related skills for long-term success in the workplace. The goal of this program is to support the youth to achieve improved economic, physical and social well-being, and become the catalysts for positive change in their family, community, and the country. Furthermore, we support women and farmers in gaining livelihood through various interventions focusing on empowerment, employment and entrepreneurship. Child Protection : ChildFund India works towards ensuring that all children live in protective and enabling environment, free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. Apart from an absolute intervention, Child protection is intrinsically woven into all our interventions as we believe that abuse of any sort threatens a child’s health, learning opportunities and other development areas. To protect children, we support families to ensure that their children are nurtured in safe environment, we educate communities about children’s need for protection and we empower children to understand and exercise their right to protection and raise their voice against violence. Disaster Risk Management The most vulnerable during disasters are the marginalized communities with children receiving a disproportionate share of the burden. ChildFund India’s Disaster Risk Management aims to reduce vulnerability and build community-level resilience with children’s leadership so that children remain safe and protected. Thus, we work with children, communities, organizations, local governance, and government to save lives in emergencies and reduce disaster risks in a systematic approach with the child-centered lens.


Action

ChildFund India works towards ensuring that children from the most marginalized sections of the society become able, confident, empathetic and responsible adults. For over seven decades, we have been committed to address critical issues related to children’s holistic development by engaging key stakeholders including families, communities, schools, government, and children. We provide comprehensive support to children through interventions that integrate health, nutrition, gender, education, livelihoods and child protection.
