ChildFund India

ChildFund India is a child-focused nonprofit that has worked alongside children and communities across India since 1984. It believes a child's wellbeing is shaped by many connected factors, including health, emotional security, quality education, family support, community safety and the environment, and that addressing only one of these is never enough.
