There cannot be Child Rights without You At CRY, we take the ‘You’ of Child Rights and You very seriously; and not without reason. In 2012-13 alone, with your support, we have been able to reach out to over 9 lakh children in 4,557 slums and villages across this country. The past year has been a really busy one for us at CRY. A year spent on defining concrete and precise goals that will help us achieve our vision for every child, that of a happy, healthy and creative child whose rights are protected and honoured in a society that is built on respect for dignity, justice and equity for all. We have reiterated 5 goals that we - as an organisation committed to changing the way children experience their childhood - will continue to strive for. We share these with you, as a reminder or our shared commitment to the children of our country: We will continue in our efforts to ensure that every child across the country has access to quality education that is free for all children until they turn 18 years old. We will redouble our efforts to ensure that children survive, grow and develop healthily - more mothers and children in every village and town will be able to access free and quality primary healthcare. We will aggressively tackle the malnutrition epidemic, actively focussing on bringing about a reduction in the rate of child malnutrition in CRY project areas. 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. 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. Each goal has distinct, measurable milestones for achievements in our projects across 23 states of India, as well as for policy changes that we hope to achieve. And most importantly, we have defined the kind of lasting change that CRY can effect against each goal - with support from people like you. As we embark on a new year, with new goals and deeper focus, we invite you to join us on this journey towards our ultimate goal - a happy, healthy childhood for all. cry.org
