India
India has the largest number of malnourished children in the world. In addition, the country is prone to natural disasters. Many children are at risk of child labour, trafficking and violence, abuse or neglect. Our priorities are to improve their health by fighting against malnutrition among children and to protect them against exploitation, with a focus on early-married girls. We also provide emergency assistance to families affected by natural disasters.
