Our Programs

India has the highest number of women who die from childbirth in the world. Our services reduce maternal morbidity and mortality and empower women to help their families thrive.

More than 2 million children in India under 5 years old die each year of preventable causes. We give young children the care they need to survive and grow normally.

adolescent girls

Adolescent girls in India lack the nutrition, health knowledge, and self-advocacy skills to flourish in adulthood. Our services set adolescent girls up for success.

Impact

Since Calcutta Kids began, the community where we work has seen a dramatic drop in mortality, morbidity, and malnutrition among pregnant women, mothers, and children.

In 2020, nearly all young children in the Calcutta Kids Child Health Program were fully immunized—a strikingly high number, especially compared to India as a whole.

Calcutta Kids Feature

  • The December graduation ceremony of Ashayein, the Calcutta Kids Adolescent Girls Program, was a true celebration. Ashayein means hope, and at this event honoring the first cohort to graduate, the sense of hope was palpable. At the end of the ceremony, graduates danced and sang “Ashayein,” our program’s theme song, borrowed from a famous Hindi movie. We’re so lucky we could be there in person to share in the joy.
