What does CRY stand for, and who founded it?
CRY stands for Child Rights and You. It is an Indian non-governmental organisation founded in 1979 by Rippan Kapur, an Air India purser. It initially started with just ₹50 around his mother’s dining table.
Is CRY an international NGO?
No. CRY is a strictly Indian non-profit organisation. While it has global fundraising branches like CRY America and CRY UK, 100% of the funds raised are deployed exclusively to support underprivileged children within India.
How does CRY choose the grassroots projects it supports?
CRY follows a rigorous vetting process based on trust and accountability. They screen external applications, conduct physical field visits to evaluate local operations, and present a curated list of high-performing grassroots setups to their Board of Trustees for formal funding approval.
