International Projects

Children’s Care International (CCI) is a nonprofit organization that aims to free children and their families from poverty and exploitation. Support for reintegration, training, protection of children, as well as poverty reduction and the inclusion of marginalized groups cannot be achieved in a short period. That is why CCI has worked for years with local partners who operate year‑round on familiar ground, alongside and for their fellow citizens. Thanks to many years of hard work and sustained engagement in its projects, CCI succeeds in producing real change in practices and attitudes related to child exploitation.

In Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India

Local Partner : Kidpower India

Kidpower India is an Indian non-profit organization, whose mission is to help people of all ages learn how to use their power to stay safe, act wisely and believe in themselves. Operating in India since 2007, Kidpower India’s objectives are to educate
vulnerable children, combat poverty and empower local communities. In practical terms, Kidpower India works locally with children in precarious situations, whose rights have been violated.

Education for children in slums : Hope School

Hope School serve as a bridge to regular primary education. Located in slums, it provide basic courses to help children develop cognitive and social skills while teaching them Telugu and English, both spoken and written.

Scholarship program

The scholarship program provides support for 19 children from the Eklavya and Chitibabu slums who are unable to attend regular primary school due to financial constraints or learning difficulties. This initiative gives them the opportunity to enroll in private schools, which offer a more structured learning environment, reducing the risk of school dropouts. It also ensures that children in precarious situations receive an education and prevent parents from having to choose which of their children can attend school.

Tutoring and summer camp

This aspect of the project aims to support the academic success of slum children, well beyond their time at Hope School. A daily homework help service is offered on the school premises, led by a trusted teacher. This initiative is crucial for families, as many illiterate parents are unable to help with their children’s studies.

The success of this program led to the creation of a two-week summer camp designed to prepare the students for the new school year. The teacher organizes stimulating preparatory activities.

Education and social support for street kids

Sankalpam House was established in the spring of 2022 to support boys living on the streets. These children, typically between the ages of 10 and 17,
are sometimes orphaned, abandoned by their parents, or have fled situations of violence and/or exploitation.

Homelessness deprives these young boys of their fundamental rights, including access to daily meals, clean drinking water, decent housing, and education.
This precarious situation makes them extremely vulnerable and increases their risk of exploitation.

Combating child labor in rural areas

In the Indigenous villages of Andhra Pradesh, access to education remains a significant challenge due to economic hardship and geographic isolation.
With no local schools available, children must travel to the city for their studies, a journey made even more difficult by the lack of proper road infrastructure, especially during the rainy season.

While some benefit from government housing programs, the majority stay in their villages, taking on household responsibilities from a young age. This perpetuates a cycle where child labor remains an accepted part of daily life.

Financial autonomy for Indigenous women in rural areas

This two‑phase project complements the previous initiative by promoting the financial empowerment of women. The first phase aims to improve access to safe drinking water by digging wells, reducing long journeys and health risks for families.

The second phase enables the creation of cooperatives to transform siali leaves into biodegradable plates. This shift from agricultural work to artisanal production will generate higher, more sustainable incomes while delivering environmental and social benefits to the entire communities

In Boisar, Maharashtra, India

Local Partner : Rescue Foundation

The Rescue Foundation is an Indian organization that has been combating human trafficking since 1993. Through its four shelters, the team provides a safe space where survivors of sexual exploitation can rebuild their lives after being rescued. Their work is made possible through rescue operations carried out by a team of experts, including social workers and a vast network of informants, in close collaboration with local authorities.

Support for young girls freed from sexual exploitation

Thanks to CCI’s support, the Rescue Foundation is able to rescue girls who are victims of sexual exploitation in the region and provide them with healthcare, formal education, and vocational training. This support enables survivors to heal from their trauma and gain the necessary tools for a safe reintegration into their communities.

In Bangkok, Thailand

Local Partner : Foundation for Child Development

The Foundation for Child Development (FCD) is a Thai organization headquartered in Bangkok. Through various activities and initiatives, their team helps Burmese migrant families integrate into the local community. The FCD prioritizes a play-based approach to educate children about their rights and combat discrimination and racism. Its facilities provide a safe space, allowing children to develop and grow free from child labor and exploitation.

Support and protection of children and families from a migrant community

This project aims to provide long-term support to the Burmese migrant community of Saphan Pla. The work carried out in the community helps raise
awareness among families about their rights and combat child labor in the community. Learning through play and the artistic approach are pioneering methods in Thailand and are greatly encouraged by the workers.
