Google has also decided to release some useful aaps and help scale up initiatives aimed at child safety programmes and campaigns.
“Technology can play a significant role in transforming lives, and we are delighted to provide support to three of India’s non-profit organisations (NGOs) such as Childline India Foundation, Bachpan Bachao Andolan and Tulir which have been doing a phenomenal work,” Google India and South-East Asia Managing Director Rajan Anandan said in a statement.
Grants have been made through Google.Org to Childline India Foundation that provides a free phone service, 1098, for children in need of help or protection, Bachpan Bachao Andolan that protects and rescues children from slavery, trafficking, and forced labour, and Tulir which works to prevent and heal child sexual abuse across India.
