In North India's urban slums, many adolescent girls have no safe space to talk about periods, no access to sanitary products, and no freedom to play outdoors like boys.

That began to change with CRY's Adolescent Girls' Collectives. 💛

Together, the girls shared their concerns, learned their rights and worked towards solutions.

For instance, they approached local officials over the lack of affordable sanitary products. Their persistence led to results. Today, the girls run four pad banks independently!

The same confidence is helping girls claim freedom in other spheres too. Around 120 girls have taken part in football and kabaddi, shifting perceptions and making room for girls in their community to play.

Your support to CRY UK can help more girls gain the dignity, freedom and opportunities to learn, play and shape their own futures. (Link in bio)

For nearly 7 years, children and women in Raneshwar, Dwarka district, had no nearby Anganwadi centre. The closest was over a kilometre away, across a railway track, posing a serious risk for young children and pregnant women. As a result, many children missed preschool education and nutrition, and women missed critical maternal and child health services.

Recognising this gap, the CRY UK team stepped in to address the issue at a systemic level. They began with door-to-door visits, talking to families about antenatal care, immunisation, nutrition, and early education. They worked closely with Community-Based Organisations, local leaders, and the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) to find a lasting solution.

Together with the community, a petition was submitted to the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) department. When space became a challenge, a local resident offered a room free of cost. After persistent follow-ups, the centre was approved.

Today:

▪️35 children under five are enrolled for preschool education and nutrition support
▪️ 4 lactating mothers are registered
▪️3 pregnant women are receiving antenatal care
▪️7 adolescent girls are learning about nutrition

What was once out of reach is now safe, accessible, and consistent.

What if timely health supplements could help keep a girl in school?

Anita, an adolescent girl from a remote village in North India, had grown used to missing school and time with friends whenever her periods left her weak and unwell.

When CRY’s Adolescent Collective shared her situation, the project team visited Anita and her parents, helping them understand the importance of nutrition, iron, immunisation and menstrual hygiene.

Anita was unsure how small iron tablets could make a difference, so the team used engaging audio-visual sessions to make the information easier to understand.

With support from the team and frontline workers, Anita began taking her supplements and received her vaccinations. Feeling stronger and more confident, she returned to school, started attending Village Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs), and encouraged other girls to join. At one VHSND, the 16-year-old led the way as 12 adolescent girls received immunisation in a single day.

Support CRY UK to empower more girls like Anita to feel stronger, speak up and stay in school.

What if all it took was one helping hand to get a child back on track?

For Arjun, it came when his family could no longer afford his education.

His confidence took a hit after he was forced to leave school after Grade 8 amid growing financial pressures. However, CRY UK’s project team stepped in and helped him find a way forward. They counselled his family on the importance of education and introduced him to the National Institute of Open Schooling, helping him continue learning while managing family responsibilities. Remedial classes at CRY UK's study centre helped him regain his footing.

Like Arjun, many children in Mumbai's marginalised communities are pushed out of school due to poverty. CRY UK works with parents through community sessions and creates safe spaces through Adolescent Collectives, where children build confidence through life skills. These efforts have recently helped re-enrol 10 children into formal education.

Support CRY UK to help many children like Arjun who are waiting for one opportunity to reimagine their future!

Imagine if a child had to choose between school and the responsibilities waiting at home.

In Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, circumstances like poverty, distance and social norms can gradually force children out of school. CRY UK works with families, schools and communities to change these circumstances and help children stay in school.

What if you could help keep their future on track?

How did a girl who lost her father, and nearly her future, find a way to save others?

Manita comes from a remote village in North India where many people still rely on community superstitions for healthcare. Growing up, she saw how limited awareness often led to serious health problems in her community.

As she stepped into adolescence, Manita made a determined decision to change this reality. She dreamed of becoming a frontline health worker who could heal people with awareness, care, and the right medical support.

But when she lost her father during Grade 12, life took an unexpected turn. With no steady income at home, her education had to stop and the dream she held so close slowly began to fade.

With timely support, Manita joined CRY’s life skills sessions where she rebuilt her confidence and found the courage to begin again.

Today, she is pursuing her ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife) course with the help of scholarships and hostel support facilitated by CRY team. Alongside her studies, she also teaches younger students and carries forward the change she once needed herself.

Support CRY UK to empower many more girls like Manita to learn, lead, and create lasting change. (Link in bio)
