Established in 1979 as Child Relief and You, now Child Rights and You, CRY was started by Rippan Kapur who dreamt of ensuring happier childhoods for India’s children. In just over 4 decades, CRY has been able to create a positive impact on the lives of over 4 million children in the age group of 0-18 years, with having presence in 19 states.
Working with some of the most marginalized and vulnerable children, within their communities and their family structures - CRY aims to address the root causes of why children are kept away from their basic rights and to find solutions that are sustainable.
The broad areas of CRY's work include:
Health and Nutrition
- CRY works to ensure that children get access to proper healthcare and facilities.
Education
- The project team not only works with children and their families to help them understand the crucial role education plays in breaking out of the circle of poverty but also works to activate schools and strengthen existing ones.
Protection
- This is one of the other areas that CRY takes on across its programmatic areas and this work is centered around child labour, child marriage, trafficking, and ensuring children are not exploited and vulnerable.
Participation
- CRY also works towards providing children with a platform where they can voice their concerns and issues and support each other.

Help immunize India’s children against deadly diseases!
In India, 1 out of every 4 children is missing out on essential vaccines . (Source: NFHS-5, 2019-21) These children are vulnerable to preventable diseases like measles, mumps and tetanus which often result in severe physical and neurological defects and in extreme cases, even death. At CRY, we work tirelessly to ensure that underserved children receive timely vaccinations and immunization so that they get a chance to grow up healthy. But there are still many who need our help. You can help immunize India’s children against life-threatening diseases. Donate to CRY, India’s most trusted NGO, today.

Supporting the dreams of girls on National Girl Child Day!
Dear CRY Supporter, In parts of Nuh, Haryana, the roads are long, uneven, and unforgiving. For girls, they meant more than distance. They meant danger. Doubt. And, too often, the end of education after Class 8. Every morning once looked the same for many girls across these villages. The sun rising over fields. School bags waiting by the door. And the quiet knowledge that college was simply too far to reach. Until the girls began to speak. They spoke to their families. To their communities. To local officials. They spoke of wanting to study. Of wanting to go further. Of not wanting their education to end before their dreams did. Today, those same roads tell a different story. A bus now moves through 8 villages each morning, carrying 73 girls safely to college, with a teacher on board. Laughter replaces fear. Books replace hesitation. What was once an impossible distance is now a daily journey. And the outcomes are visible. These girls are in college. They are attending regularly. They are helping younger girls prepare for exams. They are talking about careers, independence, and futures their villages have never seen before. This National Girl Child Day, we celebrate 73 girls who turned long roads into pathways. Girls who raised their voices, claimed their right to education, and are now travelling steadily toward the lives they choose. With your support, many more girls can take that journey. With gratitude,
Team CRY
