In India, vulnerable children are at risk of child labour, child marriage, and child abuse and exploitation. Free to Be exists to protect children by strengthening and equipping communities where they live.
Free to Be works to address root causes to these vulnerabilities that put children at risk and separate families. These include economic challenges, a lack of access to education, limited food security and gender inequalities. Free to Be works with both children and their families, for in order to provide holistic care for a child, their family needs to be supported and strengthened.
Currently it provides Residential Care for Children in Need, Education and Nutrition Programs for children living in slum communities and Empowerment programs for women and children.
