GOOGLE DONATED 3.2 CRORE TO PROMOTE CHILD SAFETY THROUGH NON-PROFIT NGO’S IN INDIA

Google’s subordinate told in Bengaluru that, “The grants will support non-profit organisations (NGOs) with smart applications and promote child safety programmes and campaigns in India.”

3 non-profit NGO’s are Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Childline India Foundation and Tulir.

These organizations counsel the children for free who are in need, save them from slavery, sexual abuse, trafficking and forced labour.

Rajan Anandan, the Google India managing director told, “The grants through Google.org will be used to reach more children and create greater awareness about the need to protect their future.”

Childline provides free call service to help the children who are in need.

Anandan stated, “As technology plays a key role in transforming lives, we offer support to the three NGOs, which provide safety and protection to the children.”

Same way Google will contribute for Andolan to develop a information based website and creates a programme to fight against sexual abuse towards children.

As the protection and safety of children is a shared responsibility, Google is believing its efforts will fetch us a change.

Anandan told, “Children are vulnerable to physical, economic and sexual exploitation at homes, schools and other protective environments.”

Google till now donated more than $100 million globally, 80,000 hours of volunteering to the non-profits last year and $1 billion in technology resources.

RS Chaurasia, the chairperson of Andolan said on the occasion that, “The Google grant will enable us to spread awareness among children and parents and make them active participants and torch-bearers in their protection.”

Pandiri told, “Vast number of children are accessing internet and using mobiles, which are connected to the net. Google’s support in strengthening and expanding our range of programmes is much needed for impacting their lives positively.”
