How we help?

 

We were the first toll-free telephone line and listening service for children to call in India and are still recognised as the number 1 best-managed service in the country’s national network of 499 ChildLine centres. ​​Over 300 calls are received from our district every day, from children themselves or concerned adults who consider a child to be at risk.

​

Our team responds swiftly to investigate every call, working with local emergency services to rescue any child in danger. We are unique in also conducting day and night patrols of transport hubs, buses and trains passing through our district, temples and other areas where runaways or abducted children and abandoned babies end up. Our extensive network of volunteers also plays an essential role in reporting those in vulnerable situations and helping provide vital outreach work auditing health and education facilities in slum areas and raising awareness of the 1098 number.

 

 

Who we help?

 

We have taken on nearly 9,000 cases since 2003, including a landmark case that exposed 20 high profile figures as paedophiles: all were prosecuted and all received double life sentences.
