In Gonda, we have implemented the Child Line campaign to provide essential services to children in need of care and protection, in partnership with Childline India Foundation and the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India.

ChildLine 1098, the heart of this campaign, operates as a 24/7 lifeline for children and it offers critical services, including:

Child Restoration: Ensuring the best interests of the child, the organization strives to reunite children with their families and provide appropriate care when they are found in challenging circumstances.

Search and Rescue for Missing Children: ChildLine 1098 is instrumental in locating and rescuing missing children and safeguarding them from street risks.

Combatting Child Labour: The campaign identifies, and rescues children engaged in exploitative labour and provides them with educational opportunities.

Protection from Child Abuse: Collaborating with relevant authorities, the organization supports abused children, ensuring their safety and rights.

Medical Facilities and Nutrition: ChildLine 1098 ensures children’s access to medical care and proper nutrition, especially in crisis situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Child rights and protection principles guide our work:

Dignity and Freedom: Children, as citizens and rights-holders, deserve respect, liberty, and freedom.

Participation and Expression: Children’s voices are valued, and they have the right to participate in decisions concerning their lives.

Privacy and Confidentiality: Children’s privacy and confidentiality are respected, balanced with the need for their protection.

Zero Tolerance for Child Abuse: The organization maintains a strict stance against any form of child abuse.

Shared Responsibility: Child protection is a collective effort, involving communities, government agencies, NGOs, and society. This campaign underscores that children are more than beneficiaries of society; they are active participants with rights and voices that should be acknowledged and upheld. By providing a 24/7 ChildLine, the organization ensures that children’s rights are protected, their needs are met, and they are shielded from harm, fostering a safer and more secure environment for our future generations.
