2012-13 has been a very busy and highly productive year for us at CRY! We've been tirelessly fortifying our focus on children and their rights by addressing some critical strategic questions -- on what did we want to achieve for our children over the next ten years. We looked hard at the work we have done in the last three decades; what we have learned about children and about the effective ways to change their lives. This in-depth review also allowed us to examine the significant issues that face children in India today. Issues such as hunger, malnourishment and lack of free public healthcare. Our children are at risk today perhaps more than they have ever been before as abuse, trafficking and labour become more widespread. The final step in this journey was to then define what CRY’s goals for 2023 would be; what issues would we prioritise and what would our achievements be.

We defined 5 key goals that we will strive to achieve over a 10 year period. These 5 goals aim to calibrate our focus on the child in the areas of education, health, malnutrition, protection and children’s participation. We take immense pride in sharing these with you:

1. We will continue in our efforts to ensure that every child across the country – whether in rural villages or urban towns - can access high quality education that is free for all children until they turn 18 years old.

2. We will redouble our efforts to ensure that children survive, grow and develop healthily. We will ensure that more mothers and children in every village and town are able to access free and quality primary healthcare.

3. We will aggressively tackle the malnutrition epidemic, actively focusing on bringing about a reduction in the rate of child malnutrition in CRY project areas.

4. We commit to ensure the safety of every child through our advocacy efforts, by contributing towards creating a protective environment for children that is free from violence, abuse and exploitation

5. And finally, we will continue to ensure that children’s voices are recognised as significant and unique in issues that affect them, and amplify their cares and concerns to society at large.

Furthermore, we identified distinct, measurable milestones for gauging achievements against these goals in CRY’s projects across 23 states of India. Our approach to monitoring the progress against these goals has been developed from both an operational standpoint as well as through a public policy lens. This further defines the kind of lasting change that we can effect against each goal, with the ‘best interest of the child’ guiding us all the way.

As we embark on this journey, with new goals and deeper focus, we invite you to join us towards our ultimate goal of a happy, healthy childhood for all. Because great things happen when you focus on a child.

With faith and goodwill,

Puja MarwahaChief ExecutiveCRY – Child Rights and You

P.S. Do write to me at [email protected] with your thoughts and feedback.

At CRY, we believe that

children are citizens in their

own right. Our children will

only attain the rights

guaranteed to them if each

one of us believes this and

starts focusing on children

to make it a reality.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S LETTER

Dear Friend of CRY,

132

3

Children are citizens of today although they are very often looked upon as resources for the future. The Constitution of India does not distinguish children as lesser-citizens or half-citizens merely on the grounds of their age. Thus, all the fundamental rights granted to adults would equally apply to children. We believe every child has a right to a childhood - to live, learn, grow and play. So let’s come together to put back the focus on children, and ensure they experience a childhood they deserve.

Some of the highlights of the year include:

• 9,50,000 children reached out to across 4,600 habitations.

• 60,000 malnourished children were identified and registered.

• 5,22,000 more children between the age of 6 and 18 years were enrolled in government schools.

• Close to 4,000 children’s groups now have more than 95,000 child members.

• 1,700 villages reported no incidence of child trafficking.

• Almost 1,600 villages reported no incidence of child marriage.

• The 2nd CRY Corporate Responsibility Summit was held that allowed key corporate stakeholders to put the cause of children up front and centre, and influenced them to ensure child-friendly corporate policies.

• CRY introduced the ‘CRY Child Rights Champion’ Awards - the first of its kind in India -to those stalwarts of Indian Industry who have demonstrated extraordinary focus and commitment to the rights of children in India.

• CRY was invited to be a core group member established by National Commission for Protection of Child Rights to study the functioning of Child Welfare Committees under the Juvenile Justice System.

• CRY worked with over 1,900 volunteers spread across 20 cities and had 129 internship placements.

We thank you for your support thus far and urge you to continue with us on the path that we have set out for ourselves with new goals and deeper focus on the child.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees,

Praveen KadleHonorary Treasurer

• 177 missing and trafficked children were rescued across Northern India, thanks to our strong advocacy programmes - community awareness, public hearings involving multiple stakeholders, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Child Welfare Committee, Police, Public Interest Litigation, Media advocacy, networking with NGOs. We used the learnings and experience to file Right to Information Act and strengthened our programmes in curbing and bring a stop to our children going missing in Surat and Gujarat.

• We conducted the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) Study in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Chattisgarh, covering over 121 centres to understand the status of ICDS services, analyse the issues and gaps in availability and accessibility of the services and advocate effective implementation of the services in all the three states. Some of the key findings revealed that accessibility remains a major issue in the rural areas because of the hilly landscape and poor coverage, there is a lack of suitable infrastructure for running the ICDS centres like no kitchen, toilet facilities and lack of space for children to move around and play. Other issues included non-availability of medical kits, poor hygiene and cleanliness which are extremely important for ensuring safety and health for children.

• Active and constant engagement with the state through public hearings, petitioning to concerned officials and media engagement has resulted in various policy changes and government orders in Karnataka. These changes include cooked food at angawadis, facilities like drinking water and toilets, infrastructure to monitor growth of children like weighing machines and health charts, eggs and milk to malnourished children, setting up of nutritional rehabilitation centres across the state to name a few. This has resulted in a 20% growth in budgetary allocations for Integrated Child Development Scheme programme by the Department of Women and Child Development, Karnataka.

• CRY-supported project Sankalp has been working in Parbhani districts in Marathwada, Maharashtra on various issues like health and education, with a focus on migratory families. Due to migration, children were not able to access education, health facilities, and had no proper shelter / house to stay in. In order to deal with this issue Sankalp demanded shalas (seasonal hostel) in each village. Sankalp team conducted village level meetings with youth groups, mahila mandals (women’s groups), and School Management Committees (SMCs) in each village. This has resulted in 10 Hungami shalas for these children and prevented 289 children (136 boys and 153 girls) from migrating.

• In order to ensure that every child in India enjoys his / her rights, it is abundantly clear that we require the active participation and leadership from our governments because the state is the largest player in development and social change. As a result of our election advocacy by Buniyadi Adhikaar Andolan Gujarat (BAAG), CRY’s alliance partner for Gujarat state elections, one of the political parties incorporated malnutrition as an issue in its manifesto.

• CRY-supported project People’s Organisation for Rural Development (PORD) undertook a study of hostels in Chittoor to highlight the conditions of the hostel. Advocacy efforts and constant follow up with concerned authorities helped us plug the gaps that came up in the findings and has resulted in better infrastructure in the hostels, like making water available, better sanitation facilities and regular quality health check-ups of the girls residing in the hostel.

• A report on the condition of toilets in schools and recommendations was shared with authorities basis 714 toilets surveyed across 7 states in the north. The advocacy resulted in additional funds being allocated to construct 941 new toilets in Bhopal and 266 new toilets in Indore.

Our partners – old and new –

continue to work with us to

re-emphasise our focus on

children.

Over 217 Initiatives were

supported across 23 states

in India.

23 children were restored to Manipur after being trafficked by five alleged child traffickers from Kerala. In May 2011, Kerala police rescued 10 girls from Thammanam, Ennakullam and 13 boys from Precious Home. Thereafter, they were brought back to Pratiksha Home and Don Bosco Sneha Bhawan by Children Welfare Committee, Kerala and put up there for about 11 months. Through 2011 and 2012, the CRY team played a major role in their repatriation process.

Initially, the CRY team connected with a CRY partner working in the Ernakulam district of Kerala who made arrangements for a meeting with Smt. M.S. Jaya Director, Social Welfare Department. By August 2012 - thanks to Manipur, West Bengal and Kerala governments in collaboration with CRY - the Social Welfare Department and the chairperson of the Child Welfare Committee were actively involved.

The children were to fly from Cochin to Imphal via Kolkata. The CRY team facilitated the discussion amongst the two Directors (West Bengal and Manipur) in order to ensure the protection and security of the children in Kolkata.

The official team comprising four escorts along with the 23 children (10 girls and 13 boys) left the Cochin airport by two different flights and reached the Kolkata airport. Ms A.K. Mirabai Devi, the hon’ble Minister of Social Welfare, Manipur and Mrs. G. Satyabati Devi Director, Social Welfare Department, received the team and children at Kolkata Manipur Bhavan.

The team reached Imphal on 18th August 2012 and the children were sheltered at the government children’s home in Takyel where all necessary medical tests, counselling and recording of statements were carried out.

“Scientific studies have clearly established that adolescents in the age group of 16-18 years are not equally culpable as adults and certainly cannot be treated as adults. Adolescence is a phase of great change in an individual. Adolescents are highly susceptible to negative influence, lack foresight and underestimate risks. These are the factors that lead them to make poor decisions. This is why they are considered to be less culpable than adults; when a child or an adolescent commits heinous crimes, it shakes our very belief about conventionally understood or held notions of childhood. After all, a child is someone who is innocent, dependent, needs care and protection. How can this child then commit crimes and that too, heinous crimes? It is but natural to raise this question. However we also need to ask another question, what or who pushed the child into committing any crime?

Our experience reveals that often, such children have had dysfunctional families and the significant adult in their lives and society at large have failed them, thereby depriving them of all possible safety nets, care and guidance, which is every child’s entitlement. Having worked with and for children for over 30 years, CRY believes that The Juvenile Justice Act 2000 was a very, very progressive legislation and needed to be implemented in its entirety. Children are going through constant changes and we need to take care of that. The need of the hour is to strengthen the implementation of the Juvenile Justice Act in both letter and spirit.”

We extend our deepest

thanks to our Individual and

Corporate partners.

This year we introduced the ‘CRY Child Rights Champion’ Awards - the first of its kind in India - to those stalwarts of Indian Industry who have demonstrated extraordinary focus and commitment to the rights of children in India. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) won the prestigious ‘CRY Child Rights Champion’ Gold, with Procter and Gamble India Limited (P&G) and Aviva Life Insurance Company India Limited winning the Silver and Bronze trophies respectively. A Special Jury Award was presented to Genpact India Private Limited.

Resource Generation

CRY ended the year with an income of Rs. 48.53 crores. While income from individuals in India was recorded at Rs. 45.85 crores, with donations from 1,23,508 donors, income from corporate houses and institutions was recorded at Rs. 3.89 crores.

This year we held the 2nd CRY Corporate Responsibility Summit. This summit allowed key corporate stakeholders to put the cause of children up front and centre, and to influence them to ensure child-friendly corporate policies.

The CRY Corporate Responsibility Summit (CCRS) 2013 – a platform for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, leadership and learning.

The 2nd CRY Corporate Responsibility Summit in January 2013 shared practical insights into implementing strategies, through case studies, discussions and debates with some of the world’s greatest influencers on business sustainability. Several industry reports indicate that the majority of companies in India are still to clearly define a CSR strategy. The summit was a step towards defining a clearer CSR strategy for corporations in India.

The summit was attended by some of India's most experienced corporate responsibility players, who shared their views, ideas and experiences. Among these were Anand Kripalu - President, India & South East Asia Mondeléz International; Harsh Mariwala - Chairman & Managing Director, Marico Limited, Ronnie Screwvala - CEO and Founder Chairman, UTV Group, Bhaskar Chatterjee - Director General and CEO, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, Dr. KK Upadhyay - Head CSR – FICCI, Madhvendra Das - Director, Deutsche Bank, Srimathi Shivashankar - Associate Vice President - Diversity & Sustainability, HCL Technologies, Sandeep Singh - Deputy Managing Director, Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, Hemant Bakshi - Executive Director Home & Personal Care, Hindustan Unilever, Santosh Desai - Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Futurebrands India, Kiran Khalap - Founder, Chlorophyll brand & communications consultancy, Ingrid Srinath - Former Secretary General, CIVICUS, Marie Sigsworth - Group CR Director, Aviva and Shanta Sinha - Chairperson, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

Numerous individuals and

organisations contributed

towards making our vision a

reality.

Partnerships

Marico Nihar Naturals took its first step towards children’s education with its ‘Chote Kadam Pragati Ki Or’ in association with CRY. As a part of the initiative, every time a woman opted to buy Nihar Shanti Amla, 2% of all proceeds was contributed to the cause of children’s education. This initiative empowered women consumers to contribute to the development of India and connected them to women in villages in their fight for children’s education.

Hindustan Times (HT) along with CRY, pledged their support to four Delhi-based CRY-supported projects. Through the ‘You Read They Learn’ initiative, part proceeds from the sale of each newspaper went towards ensuring children their rights, especially access to education. HT also featured stories of change as part of their editorial content and showcased change makers from CRY projects.

CRY partnered with a number of corporates that included Aviva Life Insurance, Eclerx Services Limited, Sanofi Pasteur and Berkadia among others.

Fight Undernourishment Little by Little (FULL)

In 2012-13, CRY held a targeted fundraising campaign on an issue that affects more than 40% of India’s children. Fight Undernourishment Little by Little (FULL) saw people from all walks of life participate on the issue of malnutrition, to ensure the functioning of the anganwadis and Public Healthcare centres and give 18,000 children their right to a healthy, wholesome life. The campaign raised Rs. 1.4 crores in 45 days.

In the Gudisahi hamlet in Orissa where we work, young Aroti Nayak suffered from severe malnutrition. Her father, a daily-wage labourer, struggled to provide his family of six with two square meals. The nearest anganwadi was just one kilometre away, but between them flowed a river that swelled to epic proportions, thanks to monsoons, creating an obstacle between the children of the village and their health. When CRY, along with our partner, International Noble work Development and Investigation Association (INDIA), began to monitor the health of the children in the area, Aroti’s symptoms of malnourishment were detected. Working closely with the local anganwadi, we immediately registered her with the Child Development Project Officer. They ensured regular interventions and today she receives nutritional supplementary food, and her growth is being regularly monitored to ensure a healthy future for her. Aroti’s life changed because of the timely detection of her condition. But for many other children, malnutrition is a silent killer. Because by the time the symptoms are visible, it has already advanced to a critical stage. Constant monitoring of local anganwadis and Public Healthcare Centres (PHCs) helps identify cases of malnutrition at an earlier stage and save many children. The proceeds from the FULL campaign will enable 18,000 children like Aroti to live a healthy life.

To motivate and enable

citizens to take individual

and collective action by

pledging their particular

strengths to bring about

lasting change in the lives of

children and thereby

creating a culture of action

for child rights.

CRY recognises volunteerism as an expression of citizen participation that ranges from acts of giving to demanding change. We offer a platform for citizens with diverse interests, skills and knowledge to engage in action that will have direct and indirect impact on child rights. The role of Volunteer Action includes reaching out to the public, recruiting volunteers and facilitating such volunteering initiatives by offering innovative and diverse volunteer engagement options. This year, CRY worked with over 1,900 volunteers spread across 20 cities and had 129 Internship placements within CRY.

Volunteering initiatives can be broadly categorised into - community based interven-tions in urban slums, campaigns and skill/knowledge sharing that includes online volunteering. The thematic focus of the community based interventions and campaigns is within the framework provided by the CRY 10 year goals and focus on children’s education, health, malnutrition, protection and participation. The results of our sustained efforts include:

• Number of schools observed by volunteers increased by 26% from 50 to 65 schools this year. As part of CRY’s goal to work towards ensuring universal access to free and equitable education to all children until 18 years of age, volunteers regularly visit schools and document findings in a structured format. As a follow-up, they facilitate various activities such as re-enrollment of children, conductingactivities with the children in school, following up with authorities with petitions, filing Right to Information as per requirements.

• Number of anganwadi centres observed by volunteers increased by 181% i.e. from 16 last year to 45 centres this year. As part of CRY’s goal on working to reduce malnutrition and ensuring basic health care facilities to children between the age group of 0-6 years, volunteers visit anganwadis, interact with anganwadi teachers observe the day to day functioning of anganwadi and document findings, analysis and recommendations in a structured format to authorities. Based on findings, follow up actions were initiated.

• Volunteers have impacted the lives of children through series of activities like anti-child labour campaigns, enrollment drives, addressing children’s issues through CRY Action Centres, community awareness activities and regular interac-tion with children. This has ensured that children got re-enrolled into schools, improved food in the anganwadis and communities were made aware of various schemes.

• Public Action Groups (PAGs) are initiative based volunteer (citizen) groups that are facilitated by CRY. PAGs take Child Rights interventions in a particular geographi-cal location or on a particular theme (Right to Education, Health, etc.), or through a particular medium (Photography/Social Media). In 2012-13, we explored new and innovative PAG models such as CRY Clubs in Delhi colleges and Corporate PAGs in Mumbai.

Click Rights Campaign for the Girl Child

Click Rights is an annual photojournalism campaign reaching out to citizens and asking them to capture photographs on issues that affect children. In 2012-13, the campaign highlighted reasons that force girl children to stay out of school. Click Rights encourages participants to engage with the issue at hand and also sensitises people who come to view the exhibitions of the photographs.

During the 40 day period of the campaign, we received around 1,400 photo entries, over 130 pieces of press coverage, an increase of 37,100 facebook likes on the CRY page and wider reach through on-ground promotional events, press conferences and Photography Exhibitions across 6 major cities in India. Many eminent photographers including Raghu Rai, Neeraj Priyadarshi, Ruhani, Sudharak Olwe, Adnan Abidi, Amit Pasricha, Dinesh Khanna, Fawzan Hussain, Ketaki Seth, Mahesh Bhat, Swapan Nayak, Swapan Parekh, Prashant Panjiar and Nilayan Dutta contributed to the campaign. Press conferences held in 5 cities received an impactful response.

As part of the campaign, a report on the educational status of girl children, findings of the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) survey conducted in 5 metro cities photos depicting the situation of girl children, was shared by volunteers with National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Women’s Commission and National University of Educational Planning and Administration with an aim to drive policy changes to ensure girl children their right to an education.

On Children’s day, November 14th, 2012, CRY’s Child in YOU campaign invited people to celebrate childhood by reliving their happiest memories with the aim that once you have reconnected with the child within, you will wish upon every child the chance to enjoy their childhood, and that every child is ensured their Right to an education. By logging on to www.cry.org/childinyou, thousands of people shared the excitement of their childhood as well as pledged their commitment to ensure the right to free and quality education for every child in this country.

As part of the campaign, CRY invited architects Rajeev Thakkar and Quaid Doonger-wala, Jonak Das, Ajay Nayak and Namrata Rao, team of RED Architecture, Balan and Nambisan who worked in collaboration with artists/film makers to interpret the Child in You campaign theme. We had 5 installations in 5 cities – Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore. The installations encouraged adults and children alike to learn more as well as to pledge to help get every child into school.

Using the ever expanding online media and its many digital platforms continues to be the focus for the team as it allows CRY to raise its much-needed resources and engage our supporters in the most cost efficient and effective manner. We had an enhanced digital presence for all our campaigns this year, and our effectiveness on social media was raised significantly (our Facebook likes went up from 5000 in 2011-12 to 87000 in 2012-13).

CRY America, our partner in the US celebrated its 10 year anniversary by felicitating all our donors, volunteers and strengthening partnerships with all our stakeholders. CRY America’s annual benefit dinners - ‘Uphaar 2013’ and ‘Pledge 2013’ - raised over $200,000 and were attended by over 375 guests, who came together to partner CRY America’s work to benefit underprivileged children. Prominent speakers and personali-ties included Professor Padma Desai, Ruchir Sharma, Natvar and Janet Bhavsar, Anu and Naveen Jain, Gurdeep and Seema Pal, Swati and Raj Angolkar. Event sponsors included Apple Core Hotels, State Bank of India New York, Inome, Mayuri Restaurants, Star TV and TV ASIA.

Other events held in the year included the CRY Walk across 20 cities, Holi, Cricket and participation in the Microsoft Giving campaign.

CRY UK, our partner in UK held its Annual Dinner Benefit 2012: 'Come Share My World'. The highlights of the event were short animation films created by children from CRY UK - project areas in Gujarat and Jharkhand. There were performances from Arunima Kumar Dance, Indian classical, tango dance and solo music perfor-mances. The gala raised £41,130 for the cause of child rights in India. Other events included CRY UK’s Historic Walk for Child Rights – an occasion for several individu-als to come together and walk for the cause of child rights. The theme was ‘East India Company’ and the walk was led by a leading historian Mr. Nick Robins. The charity walk explored and unravelled the many layers of history behind London city’s build-ings and monuments and their connection with India. Indian restaurants - Quillion, Bombay Brasserie, Café Namaste, Imlii in Birmingham and Trishna in London – came together for ‘Treat Rights’, an initiative wherein £1 from every bill was donated to CRY UK.

A 20-day art workshop on the theme of ‘Come Share My World’ conducted with the children from CRY-supported projects, GSS and Jago, resulted in children creating murals, mirror work and wall paintings that depicted their village, surroundings and their daily lives. The children expressed themselves through folk music and dance, which was recorded and converted into short films.

“This workshop was designed to help capture the children’s own interpretations and understanding of their lives, hopes and dreams. The workshop was a step towards ensuring children their right to participation – because in order to participate, you have to be heard. ‘Come Share My World’ enabled them to speak to us and lets us know that they are there; and that they too have hopes and dreams and aspirations, which we cannot ignore.”

Suresh, Elyias and Narendra have captured a typical house that dots the horizon in the Kutch region. Known as ‘bhonga’, these houses have characteristic curved roofs to ensure protection from the earthquakes that are frequent in the region.

In a desert-like landscape, flowers are a rare sight. Jayesh, Kalpesh and Karsan have captured a variety of flowers that they see around them, and which bring stark beauty to their surroundings. The picture symbol-ises the existence of beauty in a harsh environment – much like the children who live here.

Mehul, Prakash and Deva have captured a new change in their lives – a school where they can come together to learn and play. Until recently, this was just a dream. Today, almost every hamlet has a school where children have access to quality education, mid-day meals and clean drinking water.

Celebrating their Right to Education, Sheetal, Shambu and Sauji have captured elements of their life in school in this mud painting. Slates, wall clocks, pens, chalks and scissors serve as symbols heralding a new era in their community – an era where every child can go to school.

Kitchen appliances like stoves, serving spoons and glasses now take a backseat say Sunita, Naina and Kanta through their painting. More girl children in their villages are now attending schools and are not engaged in household chores – a big change in their lives.

Jeevan, Dilip and Anil depict the beauty of the natural world around them –the sun, moon, trees, stars and birds – showing harmony among all living things.

Our Finance team completed all audits this year, including statutory and Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) audits. Along with this we have also been able to complete all the related compliances like FCRA filing, Income tax filing and Escrow certification. CRY as an organisation continues to be 100% statutorily compliant, transparent and accountable. We also completed an internal audit, covering all our functions, in all our offices across India. CRY has got its internal operations, processes audited by Ernst & Young, ensuring safeguard of funds & assets and also incorporating best practices.

CRY has migrated to a new web-based Financial Management & Accounting Software (FMS). FMS has features such as online viewing, online authorisation of vouchers, real time data extraction, import of data and facilitating several reports and compli-ances. This new customised software is scalable to be an Enterprise Resource Planning and has been rolled out across functions and locations.

Our IT systems and capabilities have grown and evolved to match CRY’s require-ments:

• Software and analytical tools like PALO have been implemented for more robust financial controls and efficient financial analysis.

• Credit Card Standing Instruction and Interactive Voice Response System were implemented as additional donation options. Our tele-calling teams are able to service donors better with new technology solutions implemented.

• Comprehensive technology support was given to enhance digital media and marketing efforts.

Finance, Information Technology and Planning

This year has been a great year for the Human Resources department, as we introduced a new Leadership Development Programme for our employees, so that they in turn could maximise value for our stakeholders. Some members of CRY’s senior management participated in programmes based on the ‘Saville Competency Framework’, which assesses what behavioural traits lead to success in organisations, globally. CRY was the first organisation in India to adopt this framework in 2011. This framework helps to evaluate roles better and provide for the relevant training to employees to develop skills in sync with the organisation. It also makes employees accountable to ensure maximum impact.

Click Rights Campaign for the Girl Child

Click Rights is an annual photojournalism campaign reaching out to citizens and asking them to capture photographs on issues that affect children. In 2012-13, the campaign highlighted reasons that force girl children to stay out of school. Click Rights encourages participants to engage with the issue at hand and also sensitises people who come to view the exhibitions of the photographs.

During the 40 day period of the campaign, we received around 1,400 photo entries, over 130 pieces of press coverage, an increase of 37,100 facebook likes on the CRY page and wider reach through on-ground promotional events, press conferences and Photography Exhibitions across 6 major cities in India. Many eminent photographers including Raghu Rai, Neeraj Priyadarshi, Ruhani, Sudharak Olwe, Adnan Abidi, Amit Pasricha, Dinesh Khanna, Fawzan Hussain, Ketaki Seth, Mahesh Bhat, Swapan Nayak, Swapan Parekh, Prashant Panjiar and Nilayan Dutta contributed to the campaign. Press conferences held in 5 cities received an impactful response.

As part of the campaign, a report on the educational status of girl children, findings of the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) survey conducted in 5 metro cities photos depicting the situation of girl children, was shared by volunteers with National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Women’s Commission and National University of Educational Planning and Administration with an aim to drive policy changes to ensure girl children their right to an education.

CRY recognises volunteerism as an expression of citizen participation that ranges from acts of giving to demanding change. We offer a platform for citizens with diverse interests, skills and knowledge to engage in action that will have direct and indirect impact on child rights. The role of Volunteer Action includes reaching out to the public, recruiting volunteers and facilitating such volunteering initiatives by offering innovative and diverse volunteer engagement options. This year, CRY worked with over 1,900 volunteers spread across 20 cities and had 129 Internship placements within CRY.

Volunteering initiatives can be broadly categorised into - community based interven-tions in urban slums, campaigns and skill/knowledge sharing that includes online volunteering. The thematic focus of the community based interventions and campaigns is within the framework provided by the CRY 10 year goals and focus on children’s education, health, malnutrition, protection and participation. The results of our sustained efforts include:

• Number of schools observed by volunteers increased by 26% from 50 to 65 schools this year. As part of CRY’s goal to work towards ensuring universal access to free and equitable education to all children until 18 years of age, volunteers regularly visit schools and document findings in a structured format. As a follow-up, they facilitate various activities such as re-enrollment of children, conductingactivities with the children in school, following up with authorities with petitions, filing Right to Information as per requirements.

• Number of anganwadi centres observed by volunteers increased by 181% i.e. from 16 last year to 45 centres this year. As part of CRY’s goal on working to reduce malnutrition and ensuring basic healthcare facilities to children between the age group of 0-6 years, volunteers visit anganwadis, interact with anganwadi teachers observe the day to day functioning of anganwadis and document findings, analysis and recommendations in a structured format to authorities. Based on findings, follow up actions were initiated.

• Volunteers have impacted the lives of children through series of activities like anti-child labour campaigns, enrollment drives, addressing children’s issues through CRY Action Centres, community awareness activities and regular interac-tion with children. This has ensured that children got re-enrolled into schools, improved food in the anganwadis and communities were made aware of various schemes.

• Public Action Groups (PAGs) are initiative based volunteer (citizen) groups that are facilitated by CRY. PAGs take Child Rights interventions in a particular geographi-cal location or on a particular theme (Right to Education, Health, etc.), or through a particular medium (Photography/Social Media). In 2012-13, we explored new and innovative PAG models such as CRY Clubs in Delhi colleges and Corporate PAGs in Mumbai.

Numerous individuals and

organisations contributed

towards making our vision a

reality.

Partnerships

Marico Nihar Naturals took its first step towards children’s education with its ‘Chote Kadam Pragati Ki Or’ in association with CRY. As a part of the initiative, every time a woman opted to buy Nihar Shanti Amla, 2% of all proceeds was contributed to the cause of children’s education. This initiative empowered women consumers to contribute to the development of India and connected them to women in villages in their fight for children’s education.

Hindustan Times (HT) along with CRY, pledged their support to four Delhi-based CRY-supported projects. Through the ‘You Read They Learn’ initiative, part proceeds from the sale of each newspaper went towards ensuring children their rights, especially access to education. HT also featured stories of change as part of their editorial content and showcased change makers from CRY projects.

CRY partnered with a number of corporates that included Aviva Life Insurance, eClerx Services Limited, Sanofi Pasteur and Berkadia among others.

Fight Undernourishment Little by Little (FULL)

In 2012-13, CRY held a targeted fundraising campaign on an issue that affects more than 40% of India’s children. Fight Undernourishment Little by Little (FULL) saw people from all walks of life participate on the issue of malnutrition, to ensure the functioning of the anganwadis and Public Healthcare centres and give 18,000 children their right to a healthy, wholesome life. The campaign raised Rs. 1.4 crores in 45 days.

In the Gudisahi hamlet in Orissa where we work, young Aroti Nayak suffered from severe malnutrition. Her father, a daily-wage labourer, struggled to provide his family of six with two square meals. The nearest anganwadi was just one kilometre away, but between them flowed a river that swelled to epic proportions, thanks to monsoons, creating an obstacle between the children of the village and their health. When CRY, along with our partner, International Noble work Development and Investigation Association (INDIA), began to monitor the health of the children in the area, Aroti’s symptoms of malnourishment were detected. Working closely with the local anganwadi, we immediately registered her with the Child Development Project Officer. They ensured regular interventions and today she receives nutritional supplementary food, and her growth is being regularly monitored to ensure a healthy future for her. Aroti’s life changed because of the timely detection of her condition. But for many other children, malnutrition is a silent killer. Because by the time the symptoms are visible, it has already advanced to a critical stage. Constant monitoring of local anganwadis and Public Healthcare Centres (PHCs) helps identify cases of malnutrition at an earlier stage and save many children. The proceeds from the FULL campaign will enable 18,000 children like Aroti to live a healthy life.

“Scientific studies have clearly established that adolescents in the age group of 16-18 years are not equally culpable as adults and certainly cannot be treated as adults. Adolescence is a phase of great change in an individual. Adolescents are highly susceptible to negative influence, lack foresight and underestimate risks. These are the factors that lead them to make poor decisions. This is why they are considered to be less culpable than adults; when a child or an adolescent commits heinous crimes, it shakes our very belief about conventionally understood or held notions of childhood. After all, a child is someone who is innocent, dependent, needs care and protection. How can this child then commit crimes and that too, heinous crimes? It is but natural to raise this question. However we also need to ask another question, what or who pushed the child into committing any crime?

Our experience reveals that often, such children have had dysfunctional families and the significant adult in their lives and society at large have failed them, thereby depriving them of all possible safety nets, care and guidance, which is every child’s entitlement. Having worked with and for children for over 30 years, CRY believes that The Juvenile Justice Act 2000 was a very, very progressive legislation and needed to be implemented in its entirety. Children are going through constant changes and we need to take care of that. The need of the hour is to strengthen the implementation of the Juvenile Justice Act in both letter and spirit.”

2012-13 has been a very busy and highly productive year for us at CRY! We've been tirelessly fortifying our focus on children and their rights by addressing some critical strategic questions -- on what did we want to achieve for our children over the next ten years. We looked hard at the work we have done in the last three decades; what we have learned about children and about the effective ways to change their lives. This in-depth review also allowed us to examine the significant issues that face children in India today. Issues such as hunger, malnourishment and lack of free public healthcare. Our children are at risk today perhaps more than they have ever been before as abuse, trafficking and labour become more widespread. The final step in this journey was to then define what CRY’s goals for 2023 would be; what issues would we prioritise and what would our achievements be.

We defined 5 key goals that we will strive to achieve over a 10 year period. These 5 goals aim to calibrate our focus on the child in the areas of education, health, malnutrition, protection and children’s participation. We take immense pride in sharing these with you:

1. We will continue in our efforts to ensure that every child across the country – whether in rural villages or urban towns - can access high quality education that is free for all children until they turn 18 years old.

2. We will redouble our efforts to ensure that children survive, grow and develop healthily. We will ensure that more mothers and children in every village and town are able to access free and quality primary healthcare.

3. We will aggressively tackle the malnutrition epidemic, actively focusing on bringing about a reduction in the rate of child malnutrition in CRY project areas.

4. We commit to ensure the safety of every child through our advocacy efforts, by contributing towards creating a protective environment for children that is free from violence, abuse and exploitation

5. And finally, we will continue to ensure that children’s voices are recognised as significant and unique in issues that affect them, and amplify their cares and concerns to society at large.

Furthermore, we identified distinct, measurable milestones for gauging achievements against these goals in CRY’s projects across 23 states of India. Our approach to monitoring the progress against these goals has been developed from both an operational standpoint as well as through a public policy lens. This further defines the kind of lasting change that we can effect against each goal, with the ‘best interest of the child’ guiding us all the way.

As we embark on this journey, with new goals and deeper focus, we invite you to join us towards our ultimate goal of a happy, healthy childhood for all. Because great things happen when you focus on a child.

With faith and goodwill,
