What we do
We are committed to providing programmes and services aimed at caring for and developing under-privileged children in and around Delhi. We achieve this through effective programmes in the areas of vocational training, adoption, rehabilitation of physically and mentally challenged children, education sponsorship and providing shelter, nutrition, daycare and non-formal education, through centres located in resettlement colonies across Delhi.
ALL activities and policies of DCCW are colour / caste / community blind, and are based on secular principles. The main criteria in most of the activities is the financial status of the families whose children avail of DCCW services as our programmes cater only to poor under-privileged children. Today, these services reach over 3500 children daily and are provided at a very nominal cost to them.
All our programmes run on donations. All donations to DCCW are exempt from tax under section 80G of Income Tax Act 1961.
