Child Safe

What Child Safe does

Bal Raksha Bharat, formerly Save the Children India, is a New Delhi-headquartered nonprofit established in 2004 that rebranded in July 2023 following its legal separation from the global Save the Children federation. The organization runs more than 60 programs across six core verticals — education, health and nutrition, child protection, humanitarian response, livelihood/economic well-being, and resilience — operating in 15+ active states with a stated cumulative reach of over 11 million children since inception and approximately 1.38 million children reached in 2022-23.

Programmatic products include the Gulmohar Early Childhood Development (ECD) Curriculum Framework, a structured deployable curriculum for early-years education; the Shiksha Baithak virtual-teacher platform for digital classroom extension to under-served learners; the ARSH (Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health) programme; an online donation platform; and a Corporate Engagement Centre that channels CSR partnerships. Operational innovation is visible in the SDMA Himachal Pradesh drone-delivery partnership for last-mile nutrition and health logistics.

The funding model is a multi-stream nonprofit revenue structure: individual donations (online portal), corporate CSR partnerships with named anchors (Tata, P&G, Samsung, LG, Honda, Marico, Future Generali, L&T, Zee, CISCO, Salesforce), and institutional/government grants (NCPCR, NITI Aayog, IIT Bombay, SDMA). Regulatory posture — 12A, 80G, CSR-1, and Darpan registrations — underpins eligibility for tax-advantaged CSR inflows that dominate the Indian nonprofit funding pool.
