Child Rights and You (CRY)
CRY works to ensure happier childhoods for India's children and has impacted 4M+ children in the last 4 decades.
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.

Urgent flood relief needed- Jammu & Kashmir needs your help!
Flash floods triggered by cloudbursts have devastated lives in Kishtwar, Jammu & Kashmir - sweeping away homes, severing connectivity, and forcing children and families into unsafe, makeshift shelters. While some relief has reached the region, for many, survival itself is at stake. With water sources contaminated and sanitation systems destroyed, families, especially children, are at high risk of cholera, diarrhoea, malaria, and other infections. How CRY is Making a Difference on the Ground CRY’s team is working closely with the District Disaster Management Authority and local partners to respond to urgent needs: Facilitating essential hygiene kit distribution containing items like chlorine tablets, soaps, sanitary pads, mosquito nets, and disinfectants Connecting expecting mothers and children to health services, immunisations, and safe deliveries Restoring damaged health centres to ensure continued care Creating safe spaces for children with psychosocial support Your Support Can Make All the Difference They’ve lost so much. Your support can help them hold on to health, dignity, and a sense of normalcy. Let’s stand with the families of Kashmir. Let’s act before it’s too late.

Support STEM learning for underprivileged children today!
In a small village in Tamil Nadu, where children had never seen a computer or a microscope, a quiet transformation is taking place. A group of curious young minds now explore, experiment, and learn like never before at a mini science centre. This is the impact of CRY’s STEM Centres. STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—isn’t just about school subjects. It’s about helping children think, question, and dream. It gives them the skills and confidence to build brighter futures. Thanks to your support, CRY has set up 62 STEM Centres across India, reaching over 18,000 children . These spaces are helping children from underserved communities unlock their potential, with access to tools, guidance, and a whole new way of learning. With your continued support, we can reach more children, build more centres, and give many more young minds the chance to explore and grow. Let’s spark more curiosity, one child at a time.
