Child Welfare and Action Foundation

We call ourselves Where Are India’s Children (WAIC) and are registered as Child Welfare and Action Foundation. We are failing to protect the most v Read moreulnerable children in India. Children in Child Care Institutions (CCIs, aka shelters) range from 3.5 – 4 lakhs. The number of children in the legal adoption pool at any point is fewer than 2000. On the other hand, 30,000 couples and singles are registered and waiting to adopt. We are working for a child’s right to family. We aim to ensure that lakhs of abandoned and orphaned children in India are accounted for and reach a positive outcome in the child's best interest (including the legal adoption pool). To achieve this, we are focused on: 1) Creating innovative, sustainable, and scalable technology solutions. 2) Building public awareness about child protection mechanisms in India. 3) Doing research and groundwork to build and deploy the right technology solutions.
