Concerned For Working Children (CWC), Bangalore
CWC is working towards total eradication of child labor in all sectors and seeks to empower
children so that they can gain control over their lives and be self reliant. The project
targets kids forced to work in unorganized and organized hazardous situations due to poverty,
kids from broken homes, neglected/forgotten children, orphans etc. CWC is working at local
national and international levels through action, policy research, lobbying and advocacy
roles.
