We do things first: We focus on children under 6 to lay the foundations right. It costs a society less to intervene early than to treat the effects of neglect when the child grows older.

| Our area of focus remains the children under six |
We reach the unreached: We care for migrant children on sites, our creches release the older child providing sibling care, our training and advocacy effort reaches the child in remote villages with no access to public services.

We educate educators and care givers: Childcare is a huge unmet need for the working poor. To meet this need we build awareness that links the issues of poverty, gender, jobs and skills; we change attitudes to give priority to childcare; we train local women from within marginalized communities to create viable childcare options.

We build on what exists: We recycle materials, source expertise from the volunteer pool and mobilize families to access public services and infrastructure. Communities trust us because we listen and adapt to them. Increasingly our model depends on the participation of local people.
 |
| Participation of community is important for us |
We combine care with advocacy: Our first-hand experience with marginalized children gives us insights into how policies, laws and programmes work on the ground for them. We engage with communities to build pressure from the bottom for services and protections that are due by law. And we work with NGOs to lobby with the government to translate policy commitments and electoral promises into action.

| We advocate for their betterment |
