Many children in India do not have identity documents, such as a birth certificate. That means they: • are invisible. They have no name, nationality or identity. • have no rights. They do not exist, so have no legal protection. • face exploitation. They risk child labour, child marriage, and trafficking.

Working with long-term partner Rainbow Homes, we ensure a child receives the identity documents they desperately need. As well as helping them get this vital paperwork, a young person receives support at ASRITHA Rainbow Home. They receive wraparound support - everything from nutritious meals to help with homework to learning about their rights. This multifaceted approach helps these forgotten children be part of society.
