Protecting Childhood, Preserving Futures

Every child deserves to be safe, nourished and free to simply be a child. Yet across India's most vulnerable communities, children face risks that no child should have to navigate alone — hunger, abuse, labour, and marriage before they are ready. Anumay Foundation works to shield children from harm and give them the support they need to thrive.

The Challenge

Every child deserves to grow up safe, protected and free from harm.

Poverty puts children at risk in ways that are often invisible until it's too late. Malnutrition affects a child's growth and learning. Family and economic pressure can push children into labour or early marriage. Many children who experience abuse or neglect have nowhere safe to turn. Without active protection and support systems, the most vulnerable children fall through the cracks first.

Malnutrition Poor nutrition can affect a child's growth, health and ability to learn.
Child labour Economic pressure can force children into work instead of education.
Early marriage Vulnerable children may face pressure to marry before they are ready.
Lack of protection Children facing abuse or neglect may have nowhere safe to seek help.
Our Approach

We work at the community level to identify children at risk early and build the safety nets around them that keep them protected.

Nutrition Support

Supplementary nutrition and health monitoring for at-risk and malnourished children.

Counselling & Psychosocial Support

Safe spaces and trained counsellors for children affected by abuse, neglect or trauma.

Protection from Child Labour

Identification, rescue support and rehabilitation for children pulled into labour, with a path back to school.

Prevention of Early Marriage

Community awareness and direct intervention to prevent child marriage and support girls at risk.

Community Child Protection Networks

Working with local leaders, parents and schools to build watchful, responsive communities around every child.

Our Commitment
We work closely with families, local leaders and community networks to build the nutrition support, counselling and protection systems that keep children safe. As our reach grows, we will continue to share the stories of the children and families we support.
Why It Matters
A protected childhood is the foundation everything else is built on. When a child is safe, nourished and supported, they can focus on what childhood should be about — growing, learning and dreaming.
