Community and Climate Resilience Mobile Banner

Climate-related stresses such as floods, heat, water scarcity, and livelihood disruption increasingly affect how families live, work, and care for children. These pressures are felt most strongly at the community level, where access to preparedness, resources, and early support is often limited.

ChildFund India’s Child, Family and Community Resilience program strengthens everyday systems that help families and communities anticipate risks, adapt to changing conditions, and recover from climate- and disaster-related shocks in sustainable ways.
