Overview
Indias Barn is a Norwegian political and religiously neutral aid organization whose purpose is to improve the living conditions of children in India. It was founded in 1991 under the name Fadderbarnas framtid and changed its name to Indias Barn in September 2013. The organization is a member of Innsamlingskontrollen and affiliated with Innsamlingsregisteret, meaning it submits activity accounts under the Norwegian Accounting Act and follows good accounting practice for non-profit organizations. It is also registered in the Frivillighetsregisteret, Enhetsregisteret, and with Lotteri- og stiftelsestilsynet. The organization's main focus is education, covering the entire educational path from primary school to completed vocational training or higher education. Children in Indias Barn's remote adoption (fjernadopsjon) program receive all the support they need to complete their education as long as they have the ability and motivation. This includes school books and other equipment, homework help, transport support, and other practical assistance. Children also participate in activities that support their ability to learn, such as health follow-up and leisure activities. Indias Barn works in four areas of the state of Maharashtra on India's west coast: Mumbai, Pune, Raigad, and Dabhol. The organization operates through remote adoption, where an individual or group gives a fixed monthly contribution to the program. As a symbol of the sponsorship, each sponsor is assigned a named child whom they follow through regular reports. At the end of 2013, Indias Barn had approximately 3,000 sponsors supporting approximately 4,300 sponsored children. In addition to individual sponsors, organizations, companies, schools, and local communities also act as sponsors. Children's Future India (CFI) is Indias Barn's partner in India. CFI was established in 2004 and is responsible for ensuring that all planned activities are carried out. The organization's website invites supporters to become a sponsor for 300 NOK per month, giving an Indian child the opportunity to attend school and have a safer future. It also offers various projects suitable for sponsorship or deeper strategic cooperation with companies, and operates an online shop where supporters can give a meaningful gift.
