In India, an estimated 35 million children are at risk and in need of care and protection. Many of them are coping with adverse childhood experiences, setting them back significantly from building a future for themselves by breaking out of poverty.
Without consistent care and support, these children face an uphill battle marked by instability, systemic neglect, and limited opportunities.
A child builds their foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, alongside curiosity about the world and emotional well-being.
They start becoming stronger in their academics and ready to excel in their exams
They feel supported to explore their strengths, make the right career decisions, and step onto a clear path toward financial independence.
They become well-rounded citizens ready to plan and provide an aspirational life for their family and community.
Our volunteers (MADsters) are at the heart of our care model. They support children with foundational academic support, mentoring, career counselling and advice on the little things that matter as children transition into adulthood. Volunteers are backed by an ecosystem of support in the form of training, tools and guidance from the MAD team.
