Aangan Trust

For the last 22 years, we have been building the systems that children need to keep them safe wherever they are.

We work with key stakeholders (communities, schools, police and gram panchayats) in Aspirational districts, climate hazard zones and other hotspots where children are most vulnerable to harm.

We are making child safety everyone’s business!

22 years OF CHILD PROTECTION EXPERIENCE ACROSS 16 STATES

22+ MOUs WITH GOVT DEPARTMENTS

25+ CSO PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS

At its core, we are helping people know how to do the following:

-LISTEN

to and about vulnerable children, especially the most marginalized

-IDENTIFY

the obvious as well as the not-so-obvious risks and signs of harm 

-SUPPORT

support children to heal and recover and prevent further harm

-RESPOND

to prevent and stop harm from happening in a timely and trauma-informed way keeping the best interest of the child at the center 

OUR GROUND UP APPROACH TO CHILD PROTECTION:

Mobilizing the Ecosystem

When large groups of people are accountable and competent to ensure children's safety and well-being, then children will be safe.

We work with government departments and community groups, helping them to be alert, active and responsive to child harm. Our work includes identifying, training and mobilizing the relevant stakeholders in children's lives, and facilitating platforms for them to come together to co-create solutions that will keep children safe.
