At Calcutta Kids, our mission is to provide essential services that enable adolescent girls, women, and children in Kolkata’s slums to thrive.

Science shows that there is a window of opportunity from conception through the first 1000 days of life in which getting the right care and nutrition can prevent irreversible damage to a child’s long-term health and development. Since our inception in 2005, Calcutta Kids has been committed to meeting this need.

At any given time, our programs serve about 600 mothers, 600 young children, 70 pregnant women, and 40 adolescent girls. Over the years, we have provided services to thousands of families.
