CALCUTTA AVANT-GARDE  works to assist and transform the lives of children affected by various forms of conflict or crisis is it war, extreme poverty, hunger, illness, persecution, or neglect. Our projects focus on helping some of the most disadvantaged, disenfranchised and socially excluded children and young people in Africa. The children we work with come from backgrounds of abject poverty, family breakdown and abuse - both verbal and physical. They are in conflict with the law, living and working in the streets and have little or no access to formal education. Many resort to substance abuse as a means of escaping the cold and hunger which pervade their daily lives. We believe that these children and young people have the capacity to change their own lives for the better, and it is our role to nurture this process. CAG works alongside the children and young people, helping to transform them into responsible individuals and productive members of their community, and empowering them to make positive decisions about their futures. In these pages we invite you to view our projects, meet the children we work with and to find out how you can get involved and help us to continue our good work.

The children, of destitute and disabled group, should be given equal opportunity to enhance their individual skills and knowledge; to exercise their rights as citizens of India to participate fully and contribute to their community with in the scope of their individual strength and to ensure a dignified life for them.
