You make a difference.
Everyone can make a difference in the life of a child. Help support safe communities for happy children and healthy society.
Protecting children in North America and beyond
We prevent and stop child abuse by empowering individuals through education; guiding response to concerns of child maltreatment in the US and Canada; and helping management implement child protection policies to reduce risk. We support Child Protection Volunteers in service to their local community.
Please help us meet our goals.
Donations to the Child Protection Office enable us to do the vital work involved in preventing and responding to child abuse. Recurring donations allow us to budget and plan ahead. To learn more details about about each donation goal, visit our Donate page.
Every contribution helps. Please give what you can.
YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
Take Action in Child Protection
Learn
Protecting children is devotee care, it is direct Vaisnava seva. Learn more about how child maltreatment manifests to identify and stop abuse. Understand the effects of child abuse to help rectification take place. Education empowers community members to individually and collectively deter abuse and create safe spaces. Check out these resources for education and support.
Ways to Help
Your choices, your presence make a difference in creating a culture that values children and prioritizes their well-being. Secure childhood is the foundation of healthy adults and a thriving society. Consider the multitude of ways that you can encourage the protection and care of children. Whether you take on a dedicated service role or simply share information, you can change the life of others for the better.
Report
Often a child’s only hope for a better tomorrow is when a report is made on their behalf by a concerned person. It is every adult’s responsibility to report concerns of child abuse or neglect. When you see something, say something to those who can help. Is it child maltreatment or not? Learn more about identifying the different types of abuse.
