CRY stands for Child Relief and You. CRY is an Indian non-government organization (NGO) that works towards restoring basic rights to underprivileged Indian children.
CRY was started by seven young people in December 1978. One of them, an airline purser called Rippan Kapur, was the moving spirit behind the project. Their objective - to do what they could, to improve the situation of underprivileged Indian children. Their first office - Rippan's mother's dining table.
Unusually, the founders of CRY chose not to found a grassroots-level implementing organization working directly with and for underprivileged children. Instead, they opted to make CRY a link between the millions of Indians who could provide resources and the thousands of dedicated fieldworkers struggling to function for lack of them. They saw their role as enablers and in so doing created an institution that is a unique model of a community movement that takes responsibility for its weakest and most vulnerable members and motivates and catalyses change on their behalf.
