Campaign Story
About the project
The Kangpokpi district and Imphal West district of Manipur face social unrest due to the ongoing conflict among the tribal communities. This conflict has impacted the lives of children and women in these communities. The lack of facilities in healthcare institutions, inadequate educational resources, and low levels of parental awareness, combined with low income, are compelling factors affecting the lives of people in the society. CRY America aims to empower the members of these two districts by providing education and healthcare support to the children and women in the community
Making a difference
CRY America’s Wide Angle Social Development project works toward bridging the gap between the haves and the have-nots by providing education, healthcare access, and protection to the women and children of 22 villages in Manipur. Key activities under this project include identifying irregular children and regularizing them in schools, setting up support classes, linking children with social protection programs, and conducting health camps for women and children. Another key focus of this project is parental and child counseling to help them combat societal trauma and return to a regular, peaceful, and healthy life.
