About Us

Butterflies was founded in Delhi, India in 1989 with the core goal of protecting & empowering street connected children and children in vulnerable situations so that they become self-reliant and exit the cycle of generational illiteracy and poverty. The organisation’s approach is democratic and non-institutional.

from the Director

Children are like butterflies with short childhoods but if given proper care & protection can bloom into beautiful productive human beings. Today the importance of listening to children and young people is recognised as fundamental to their human dignity and healthy development. Since inception Butterflies has been encouraging children to participate in all matters concerning them, which has been a rich and rewarding experience. One important outcome of Children’s Participation is the Children’s own Cooperatives facilitated by Butterflies, now running in several states of India and several countries in the world
