CRY meaning in NGO ?

CRY - Child Rights and You is an Indian non-governmental organization (NGO) that works towards ensuring childrens' rights.

In 1979, Rippan Kapur, an Indian Airlines purser, started CRY. CRY works with 102 grassroots NGOs across 19 states in India and has impacted the lives of over three million children.

CRY addresses children’s critical needs by working with parents, teachers, Anganwadi workers, communities, district and state-level governments, as well as the children, themselves. The organization focuses on changing behaviours and practices at the grassroots level and influencing public policy at a systemic level, thus creating an ecosystem where children are the nation’s priority.
