Child Protection
ChildFund India works towards ensuring that all children live in protective and enabling environment, free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. Apart from an absolute intervention, Child protection is intrinsically woven into all our interventions as we believe that abuse of any sort threatens a child’s health, learning opportunities and other development areas. To protect children, we support families to ensure that their children are nurtured in safe environment, we educate communities about children’s need for protection and we empower children to understand and exercise their right to protection and raise their voice against violence.

Since 1994, ChildFund India has been implementing Disha in the Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Disha promotes sustainable community-based strategies for the prevention of this child labor. It is committed to bringing children out of the clutch of labor by providing health, educational, and livelihood support.
The project mobilizes communities, parents, especially women to sensitize the wider community regarding child labor and strengthens public opinion against child deprivation. Children are empowered by encouraging school enrollment, creating children’s forums and ensuring that they, along with their families, can access healthcare facilities.
Besides, it encourages entrepreneurship in adolescents and children are given training under the ‘Sustainable Livelihood Development Program’ so they can achieve their full potential and fulfill their dreams.

The project was implemented in 15 villages across Kotada and Jhadol blocks of Udaipur, Rajasthan between April 2016 and September 2019. Under this project, we worked to combat child trafficking and child labor. We also provided vulnerable families with alternate livelihood for income generation and capacitate, sensitize and institutionalize stakeholders dealing with prevention of trafficking – police, lawyers, NGOs, government and administration.
During the project, we created awareness on child trafficking and prevention steps amongst parents, youth, the press and the larger community. We provided agro-pastoral support to improve the livelihood of the beneficiaries and linked them with government schemes and social programs. Similarly, we trained police and law enforcement in the formal system, set up community groups such as child welfare committees, vigilance squads and ensured enrollment of drop-out children in schools across the 15 villages.
