Help for Children in Need (HCNF)
A healthy, happy and fulfilling childhood for all children, in a harmonious and supportive community
Rationale for Work
To attain the goals of our vision for the children of India, we focus on those areas where children, especially from socio-economically deprived communities, need the greatest support.
Health and education are the foundations for children’s growth and development, and these are also basic human rights, of which many children are still deprived. Rapid social changes are causing deterioration of the cultural and physical environment for many children, further endangering their very existence. These deprivations are further acerbated when natural calamities or socio-political conflicts disrupt their lives.
