Keeping children safe, everywhere, every day
About us
Aangan’s work begins when laws, state policies, community or parents fail to protect a child from abuse, violence, conflict, neglect and exploitation. 40% of India’s children are vulnerable. Our goal is to reach “invisible” vulnerable children and strengthen state or community protection systems around them as well as build the child’s own resilience and coping strategies. Whether they are children living in the harsh jail-like conditions of state-run children’s institutions, or children engaging in dangerous work or risky activities or facing social exclusion in urban slums, we firmly believe that only a safe, supported child can cope effectively with difficult circumstances, access healthcare, education or meaningful livelihood - thus protection is at the core of all our programs.

The Suraksha Sakhi program’s partnership with Aangan has come to a close, and we celebrated the journey with our dedicated partners over the years! The event was attended by 330+ women, as well as representatives from the police, Mahila Salah Suraksha Kendra, and school principals and teachers. When asked about what safety means for girls and women, they shared a vision of a world where they can express their thoughts freely, without hesitation, and travel anywhere with confidence. A world where they do not feel "asahya" (oppressed or suffocated), and are free from the fear of violence. Although Aangan's journey in the program has concluded, the Suraksha Sakhis and the police are dedicated to continuing their collaboration to ensure the safety of girls and women.

🌍 As global leaders push for green energy transitions, the human toll of #ClimateChange grows. In India, 24 million children are impacted by climate disasters each year, yet they remain sidelined in policy discussions. Here at Aangan, we want to change that. This #ChildrensDay we’re calling for climate policies that prioritize the safety of our youngest citizens.

We recently attended Studio Subu's #SubmarineConference, where we explored effective #CommunicationStrategies for the #SocialChange sector. The conference was a fantastic chance for us to sharpen our skills— from building robust annual communication strategies to fine-tuning our design eye and crafting compelling pitches. We also loved connecting with other teams across the development sector and gaining fresh perspectives on amplifying our #ChildProtection work. Here’s to new learnings and broader impacts!
