-Empowering everyone as agents of peace, together we will break the chains of violence.- We believe that even in times of hardship, everyone possesses the potential to become an agent of peace. We pave the way to break the chain of violence and initiate a positive cycle that propels us toward sustaining peace. Hardship here encompasses a broad spectrum of challenges in both domestic and international contexts. This may present as suffering caused by humanitarian crises and social exclusion or struggling to disengage from non-state armed groups, including so-called violent extremist organizations, in active conflict zones. Within these challenging circumstances, our focus is not only on ending suffering but on transforming adversity. Believing in the potential of each individual we create proactive solutions for sustainable peace. This is where our purpose and pride reside.

Child Action is a UK registered charity specialising in education and personal development initiatives in India and the UK. The charity was founded by entrepreneur Dr Seema Sharma in response to the terrible poverty she witnessed in Mumbai whilst filming a documentary with Channel 4 as part of the Secret Millionaire series, during which she volunteered with several grassroots NGOs in India. Child Action's work reflects our passionate commitment to preventative strategies which ensure that marginalised groups of people living in India are given the help they need to achieve self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Together with our three local NGO partners, Doorstep School, Toybank and Apnalaya, we support the development of young people living in extreme poverty by creating learning opportunities for children living within Mumbai's most disadvantaged street and slum communities. Our personal relationships with these partner organisations enable us to communicate on a regular basis, ensuring an in-depth understanding of their needs. We undertake regular project monitoring and work with our partners to produce progress reports. This alleviates the administrative burden for the grass roots NGOs, maximising the impact of donor funds for our work in India. The work carried out by our partners is having a transformational and long-lasting effect on the lives of children who face the desperately unfair challenge of being born into families facing extreme poverty.
