Together, We Drive Change

"CCDT has been among one of our dynamic partners. CCDT’s intervention in Pune via Community-led Child Protection Program seeks to empower communities to safeguard their children. By fostering awareness, building local capacity, and creating a network of vigilant stakeholders, the program ensures that child protection is not just an institutional responsibility but a shared community commitment. Their program’s participatory approach envisions to strengthen trust and resilience, enabling families and neighborhoods to act proactively against risks like abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This model aspires to form a living testament to how collective action can create safe, nurturing environments where every child can thrive and prosper.”

At M·A·C Cosmetics India, we believe beauty has the power to create meaningful change. Our partnership with CCDT has been a powerful example of this commitment. Through initiatives like Project Pehel and other programs supported by the Viva Glam grants, we’ve witnessed firsthand how CCDT transforms lives—empowering adolescents, strengthening families, and building resilient communities. Their evidence-based approach and deep-rooted engagement ensure that every effort creates lasting impact. We are proud to stand alongside CCDT in shaping a future where every child counts.”

“At Cognizant Foundation, giving back to society is a core value that shapes our mission. Through our Care4All program, we support projects that improve maternal and child health, reduce infant mortality, and prevent disabilities. In 2020, we partnered with CCDT to launch Project Suraksha—a five-year initiative in Bhiwandi and Malegaon, Maharashtra, focused on strengthening antenatal and postnatal care and ensuring timely medical interventions for high-risk mothers and children. From July 2020 to March 2025, over 92,912 pregnant women were registered, and 16,034 high-risk mothers and children received follow-up services. This collaboration was built on trust and shared commitment. CCDT’s strong grassroots presence and ability to mobilize communities ensured that care and awareness reached those who needed it most. Today, we are proud of the impact achieved and the successful transition of the program to government stewardship, ensuring sustainability and wider reach. Partnering with CCDT has been a deeply fulfilling experience. Their professionalism and dedication have helped transform health outcomes in underserved communities. We wish CCDT continued success in creating lasting impact.”
