OUR EVOLUTION
We began in prisons and child-care institutions, supporting children already living with the consequences of violence. Today, our work spans communities, schools, police systems and government institutions across India, strengthening the people and systems best placed to keep children safe.
We are 101 people strong, 86% of us are women, and most of us live and work in the same communities as the girls we serve.
