Catalysts for Social Action is an Indian NGO that works towards creating and ensuring a brighter future for every child under institutional care. We strive to ensure a better future for children in need of care and protection which pays attention to their physical, emotional, personal, spiritual wellbeing and learning. We believe that every child needs family or family-like care in a well-managed institution. We have been working since 2002 as catalysts by leveraging existing institutions and empowering them to improve child outcomes and enhance the quality of care to children. This is achieved by partnering with like-minded child care institutions, individuals and corporates. Over the last 18 years, we have been enabled by our generous donors, supporting partners and volunteers to create a visible impact in the lives of 20000+ children.
