MANORATH - We Voice Rights for All Children

About CRY

For over 30 years now, CRY – Child Rights and You has worked on the reasons why children are deprived of rights. Every year, CRY together with 200 partner NGOs across 18 states works to address the root causes of exploitation, deprivation and inadequate livelihood options that constrain the rights of children. This collective action permanently changes the lives of over 6 lakh children in 6700 villages and slums each year, who live learn and grow well. None of these micro-miracles would have been possible without public support – every year, 2 lakh individuals, come together from all walks of life to stand up for their belief in the rights of children.

CRY’s mission is to enable people to take responsibility for the situation of the deprived Indian child. We motivate people to confront the situation through collective action thereby giving children and themselves an opportunity to realize their full potential.

Manorath is one such Volunteers group with CRY which through its endeavors is voicing Rights for all children.

Make this world a fairer place!!

Children begging, children stealing,
children crying, children dying
needlessly due to poverty, hunger andeglect.
In a world where people live in million dollar homes
Why are these children digging out food and bones
to chew on, to feed their hunger, from rubbish bins?

'Really, Is that right?' just ask yourself
Do these beautiful souls have no right to live,
Just because their parents have no money to give
to educate them, and feed them, and to help them to grow
into fine young women and men that we would be proud to know.
If only someone fights for their Right to Live.

You and I can change each one of their fate
And bring joy and laughter and education to date.
Into the dreary and harsh lives of these little angels,
By signing petitions and singing jingles.
By waking up the Government and making them take action,
To ensure education, food & protection of their best interests, with a passion.

Lets all get together and give it all we've got
To change each little underpriviledged child's lot
Lets make this world a fairer place
So we can see each child's smiling face.
Enjoying the beautiful world around us
As we priviledged few do..................
