Who We Are
Guided by the principles of compassion and inclusivity, we serve all children—regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender—as a reflection of Christ’s unconditional love for all people.
Operating across 50+ districts and reaching over 1 lakh children and their families in 500+ communities throughout Maharashtra, we work in close partnership with governments, civil society, donors, and corporate partners to address the key issues impacting children.
Together for Young minds. For change. For life.

Our Vision
A life where they are protected, nurtured, and empowered to become all they are meant to be.
We envision strong, resilient communities free from poverty and full of opportunity,
where families are cherished, the environment is safeguarded, and the most vulnerable live with dignity and hope.
A world where every child grows into a responsible citizen of India,
where peace and justice prevail, and everyone has the right—and the opportunity—to contribute.
Our Work
Disability
We address the barriers faced by children with disabilities by building inclusive communities. This includes forming and strengthening disabled people’s organisations, distributing mobility aids like wheelchairs, improving accessibility in public spaces, and creating forums where children with disabilities can advocate for their rights and inclusion.
Our Work
Gender and Development
We engage families and communities to challenge and change harmful cultural norms, working to elevate the status of the girl child. Our efforts promote girl child education through initiatives such as tuition centers, provision of bicycles for school commutes, and building separate toilet facilities in schools to ensure safety and dignity.
Our Work
Nutrition
We tackle the root causes of malnutrition, especially among children under five, pregnant women, and mothers. Our interventions include counseling, emergency feeding programs, establishing nutrition gardens, training health workers, and improving facilities at Anganwadi centers to ensure better care and nutrition support.
Our Work
Education
We are committed to ensuring that children receive a quality education that prepares them for life. This is achieved through collaborative efforts aimed at improving learning outcomes and the educational environment. We support school infrastructure, run remedial education programs, and strengthen School Management Committees to foster community involvement in education.
