Every Child Counts!

Empowering Children, Strengthening Families, Transforming Communities

For over 35 years, we have worked hand in hand with communities across Maharashtra and many other states of India to develop lasting change for underprivileged, marginalized and vulnerable communities. At CCDT, we are part of this collective effort, standing alongside families, and partners to build a world where every child can survive, thrive, grow and develop.

We believe that change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when communities unite to support those in crisis, when families gain the resources and opportunities to rebuild, and when children are given the freedom to dream without limits.

What We Do

CCDT partners with communities to create safe, nurturing environments where individuals don’t just survive but thrive - because change begins when people are empowered to become stronger, self-reliant, and better equipped to protect and support each other.

Child Protection

Child Protection

A safe and nurturing childhood is every child’s right. Yet, every day their rights are compromised and they face risks of violence, neglect, exploitation, and loss. CCDT’s Child Protection initiatives build strong, community-rooted networks of care that prevent harm, respond to crises, and create safe spaces where children can heal, grow, and thrive.

Health, Nutrition & Well-Being

Health & WellBeing

Health is one of the deepest roots of a thriving life. But for families living in rural, tribal, or underserved areas, access to basic healthcare remains uneven. CCDT’s health and well-being initiatives ensure that no mother, child, or adolescent is left behind when it comes to care, awareness, and support.

Adolescents & Youth Empowerment

Education & Livelihood

Adolescents and youth in marginalised communities often face shrinking choices, yet their potential is boundless. CCDT’s education and livelihood programs equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to shape their futures and become changemakers in their communities.

Contributing Towards Sustainable Change

CCDT works in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, creating lasting impact through partnerships, grassroots initiatives, and collaborative models. Our programs empower individuals and communities to thrive independently beyond interventions.
