Aftercare & Livelihood

Aftercare & Livelihood

We strive to provide robust support systems and opportunities to young adults leaving institutional care (called ‘care leavers') to empower them to lead independent lives and be contributing members of the society. We do this by assessing their skills and aspirations, preparing individualised aftercare plans, providing need-based support and mentoring them towards achieving their goals. The Aftercare Alumni Network helps care leavers build lifelong bonds and support each other in their journeys.

Every year, over 50,000 youth above the age of 18 exit Child Care Institutions (CCIs) in India, often without a structured exit plan or support system. With limited government assistance and only a handful of NGOs working on aftercare for Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP), these young adults face serious challenges. Many are pushed into low-skilled, poorly paid jobs or compromised career paths due to low educational qualifications. Particularly vulnerable are girls, who are often married off post-deinstitutionalization, restricting their independence and future opportunities.
