India has about 0.37 million orphaned and abandoned children, who are denied their fundamental rights of growing up and developing in a family. Improving standards of care for such children in Alternative Care is a low priority in country planning. Gender discrimination prevents millions of girls from weaker sections of society to get an equal opportunity to continue their education, and technical, vocational and professional skills are lacking among disadvantaged communities to become economically self-reliant.

 

By engaging individuals committed to rights of the disadvantaged, Udayan Care is able to provide nurturing homes to children in need of care and protection; empower girls to aspire and pursue higher education; offer communities digital and vocational training to become self-reliant; through research, training and creating platforms through conferences, it generates the discourse on the standard for Alternative Care in South Asia region.
