Houston Main Events Sponsors About Us
At CRY Houston we believe, “Change is possible, because I will make it possible”. CRY Houston is a volunteer driven chapter of CRY America. CRY America supports organizations and initiatives in US and India that (a) seek to mobilize communities at the grassroots level, so that they are able to solve their problems themselves (b) work with State institutions to effect policy reform and implementation (c) seek to support and enhance the capacity and quality of grass roots initiatives.
Reports released reveal that:
- 46% of children in India are underweight, 38% stunted and 19% wasted.
- 53% children in India reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse.
- 17 million child laborers in India
- 180 out of 581 districts in India have seen primary school enrolments fall
- 88,000 schools (nearly 8%) in India still do not have a blackboard in their classes
Since its existence, CRY America has irreversily changed the lives of over 280,000 children living across 1,762 rural, triabl and urban communities of India through 47 projects. Also funded for key projects in US like Voices for Americas Children, Children Welfare League of America and Children Rights Inc.
