Move Abandoned Children into Adoption in India
Organization information
Catalysts for Social Action
Location: Ghatkopar West, Mumbai, India
Summary
Of the 20 million orphans in India, less than 5000 get adopted per year. We promote adoption by supporting adoptive parents through the adoption process. We identify children in orphanages without parental/guardian contact and move them into the adoption stream. Our research across 200 homes with 11500 children, shows more than 9% such children languish in an orphanage instead of being in the adoption stream. We conduct grassroots level workshops to build awareness about the adoption process. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
