What We Do
We are Railway Children India.
We believe in a world where no child has to live on the streets.
Since 1996, we’ve had one mission: to keep all children safe and protected. It’s ambitious. But that doesn’t faze us.
Across India, we’ve saved and changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children at risk of taking to a life on the streets. And we’ve achieved monumental changes in building child-friendly transport hubs, strengthening families and communities, while developing a case for why and how to better protect children.
We’ve been on the frontline for a decade protecting the most vulnerable children in society. We’ve seen and heard what needs to change – for children everywhere. And we’re leading that change.
It can also make the ideal hunting ground for predators, gangs and criminals seeking to exploit and abuse vulnerable children. Reaching out to these children as early as possible while they are in a moving train or after they arrive at a bus or railway station is crucial for their protection, restoration and rehabilitation. We aim to prevent children from slipping into a life on the street and suffering all of the harm and abuse we know that this can bring.

We work across
Strengthening child safeguarding systems
We are guided by a value framework that is committed to ensuring the safety and protection of all children.. These values define how we set our organizational goals, interact with children, select and sustain partners, and build a protection ecosystem for children through our daily work. We bridge the gaps in social and government systems and are leading the change to improve laws, policies and practices needed to better protect vulnerable children..
As experts in the field of street-connected children, we work with governments, alongside NGOs and with committees to make sure vulnerable children are recognised and protected on all levels.
