Who we are

Kidpower India was started in 2007 with the main aim of protecting children and teenagers against all forms of exploitation or abuse and protecting their basic rights guaranteed under our constitution. The main objectives are:

  • Empowering children and teenagers by enhancing their skills for self-protection, getting help and advocating for others.
  • Increasing the safety and mobility of children and teenagers by creating a supportive environment.
  • Focusing on children in difficult situations.
  • Taking up media-related activities to achieve our aim.


Our work and its impact

For over 10 years KidPower India has been running the Manasu home which provides care and support to orphan girls and children who come from abusive family backgrounds. The home provides many facilities like a safe place to stay, education, vocational training etc. The centre believes home care is the best care and tries to reintegrate a sense of family and belonging into the child. However, in cases where children are unable to adapt because of vulnerable or abusive situations at home or the absence of caretakers, the home provides education and vocational training support. We also run five bridge schools in the slums in Visakhapatnam with the support of CCI and Wipro. The bridge schools are very important interventions to prevent child labour in the slums and ensure that the children go to school.


How we will utilise these books

The funds from our crowdfunding campaign will be used to get storybooks from Pratham Books for the libraries in the five bridge schools in Visakhapatnam. These schools are located in slums and the multilingual storybooks will be of vital help to the children as they build their vocabulary and reading skills.
