Child Rights & Protection

Protecting childhood, securing the future.

Why This Matters?

Childhood should be a time of learning, play, and growth, yet for millions of children across India, it is marred by exploitation, neglect, and abuse. Issues like child labour, malnutrition, and a lack of safe environments rob them of their future and perpetuate a cycle of poverty. Protecting our children is not just a moral duty; it is a fundamental investment in the health and prosperity of our nation. When a child’s rights are violated, the promise of a better tomorrow is broken.

At S.A.N.D.I.P. Foundation, we are fiercely committed to ensuring that every child has the safe, healthy, and nurturing childhood they deserve, as guaranteed by their fundamental rights.

What We Do at S.A.N.D.I.P.?

We implement and advocate for comprehensive child protection measures through direct intervention, community awareness, and systemic support.

Anti-Child Labour Campaigns We conduct intensive awareness drives in vulnerable communities to highlight the evils of child labour. We work with local authorities to rescue children from hazardous work environments and ensure they are enrolled back into school, providing them a path to a real future.

Child Safety & Awareness Programs We run crucial workshops in schools and communities on personal safety, including education on “good touch, bad touch.” We strive to create “Child-Friendly Villages/Slums” where every community member is vigilant about child protection.

Nutrition & Health Security We lead campaigns to combat malnutrition by providing nutritional supplements and promoting awareness about balanced diets for children. We collaborate with Anganwadis and local health centers to ensure children receive essential immunizations and regular health check-ups.

Advocacy for Child Rights We act as a voice for children, advocating for the strict implementation of child protection laws like the POCSO Act and the Right to Education. We provide support and guidance to families to help them access their children’s legal entitlements.

Our Vision & Impact

We envision an India where every child is protected from harm, is well-nourished, and enjoys the freedom to learn, play, and realize their full potential.

Some of our outcome goals:

• Drastically reduce the incidence of child labour in our operational areas.

• Improve the nutritional status and overall health of children in the communities we serve.

• Increase awareness and reporting of child protection issues.

• Establish safe and supportive environments where children can thrive without fear.
