Stand up for what is Right
ANNUAL REPORTApril 2008 - March 2009CRY - Child Rights and You UK Limited
Dear Friends,
2008-2009 was a demanding year. The global slowdown threw tough challenges at us. Challenges, we overcame with the whole-hearted support of our donors and volunteers.
Committed to being a transparent and accountable organisation, CRY Uk continued supporting the rights of marginalised children especially in India. While maintaining utmost transparency and accountability, we forged partnerships for projects with grassroots organisations that work towards achieving rights through sustainable solutions for long lasting impact. Some of these projects included Jago , Mon Foundation and Mahila Swarojgar Samiti.
The vivacity of our volunteers over the last year not only raised spirits but much needed resources too. GBP 39000 was garnered over a slew of entertaining events. March saw colours run riot at our Holi celebrations sponsored by HDFC loans. It raised GBP 3000. It was cricketing fever in July with the 9th CRY Cadence Corporate
Cricket Challenge (5Cs) tournament. Corporate teams pitted against each other and pitched for the cause of education. TCS triumphed over LBS in a fitting final. CRY's Diwali Charity Ball was the all-time favourite with the crowd. Indian music, Indian food and Indian dress welcomed the festival of lights. Traditional rangoli and lit diyas lent an auspicious aura to a delightful evening. Sponsored by E2E Infotech and HDFC home loans it raised GBP 4800.
With the goodwill and support of our donor and volunteer community, our movement towards securing children's rights will no doubt go from strength to strength.
With faith and goodwill,CRY UK Teamwrite to us at [email protected] with your views, suggestions, feedback.

children and communities. Impact that is holistic and sustainable.
During the year CRY UK carried out various initiatives to raise
resources and awareness about the situation of marginalised
children . Many volunteers, corporate and individuals extended their
support to us by participating in corporate and other volunteer
fundraising events and through donations.
As always, the challenges have been many, but the satisfaction of
seeing the outcome continues to outpace the many hurdles. Thank
you for supporting CRY UK. We value your partnership and your
contribution, be it in money, resources, time, skills and moral
support, for the rights of ALL children.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees
Teja Picton Howell
For us at CRY UK, child rights continue to be a fundamental
freedom, an inherent and non-negotiable right of all human beings
below the age of 18 years. We believe that children are individuals
by themselves and independent members of the family and the
society.
CRY UK's vision is to see every child in India free from bondage,
poverty, violence, discrimination, deprivation, destitution, neglect
and abandonment.
Working with our grassroots partners, we ensure that the
government delivers on the (Indian constitution's) should we talk
about Indian constitution for CRY UK??promise to ensure the full
spectrum of rights for every child.
CRY UK disburses funds to projects in India towards child
development initiatives. In order to ensure that your contributions
are invested in our common vision for children, CRY UK works with
our partner CRY in India to implement comprehensive and
stringent Grant Deployment processes .
These grant processes not only ensure that the right projects are
selected, but also ensure that all grants are optimally and
effectively deployed, monitored and utilized.
Most importantly our grant processes ensure that meaningful
change and impact is brought about in the lives of underprivileged
