At Cried Foundation, our mission is to empower and transform the lives of the most vulnerable members of our society. We are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty, promoting gender equality, and fostering holistic development for orphans, widows, the needy, and destitute individuals in Kashmir. Through our comprehensive programs and initiatives, we aim to create a society where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and lead a dignified life.

Our Vision: To uplift and empower the poor, needy, and widows by providing them with essential support and opportunities for a better future.

Our Mission: A Section 8 company dedicated to addressing the specific needs of the poor, needy, and widows in our community. Through a range of sustainable and impactful initiatives, we strive to create a supportive environment that enables them to break free from the cycle of poverty, enhance their livelihoods, and lead fulfilling lives.

OBJECTIVES

Provide Basic Needs: We are committed to ensuring that every individual in need has access to essential requirements such as food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare. By collaborating with friends, relatives and well-wishers; local partners and stakeholders, we aim to create comprehensive support systems that address immediate needs and foster long-term stability.

Education and Skill Development: We believe that education and skill development are crucial for the holistic development of the poor, needy, and widows. We strive to offer support and financial assistance for quality educational opportunities and vocational training programs that empower them to acquire new skills, enhance their employability, and secure a sustainable livelihood.

Empowerment and Advocacy: Our organization is dedicated to empowering the poor, needy, and widows by promoting their rights and advocating for their well-being. We aim to raise awareness about their challenges and work towards removing barriers that hinder their access to essential resources, opportunities, and social support.

Socioeconomic Integration: We endeavor to facilitate the socioeconomic integration of the poor, needy, and widows into mainstream society. By promoting entrepreneurship, fostering economic initiatives, and creating pathways for income generation, we aim to enhance their self-sufficiency and enable them to contribute positively to their communities.

Emotional and Social Support: We recognize the importance of providing emotional and social support to the poor, needy, and widows, who often face isolation and stigmatization. Through counseling services, support groups, and community engagement programs, we aim to create a nurturing environment that promotes mental well-being, fosters social connections, and builds resilience. This is planned through internees and volunteers - via visits, telephonic conversation/s, and online - audio calls, video calls and others

We will foster partnerships with local communities, NGOs, government agencies, and corporate entities to mobilize resources, leverage expertise, and create a supportive network that fosters the integration, inclusion, and well-being of the poor, needy, and widows.

We implement rigorous monitoring and evaluation systems to measure the impact of our programs and are committed to communicating our results to all our stakeholders, donors, and the wider community.
