Renewing commitment, celebrating generosity!


CRY’s work for child rights would not be possible without you, the donors, the volunteers and community organisers. It is your belief in the potential of India’s children, your empathy for the most vulnerable of them, your generosity whenever we ask, that helps to together make a real impact.
Join CRY America for a memorable evening in which we celebrate the year just past and pledge to make an even bigger difference.
