Its work covers Sri Lanka and Nepal, with fundraising and support offices in the United Kingdom and Australia. Its programmes include family strengthening, alternative family-based care, a pink tuk tuk taxi initiative for women drivers, and a solar lighting programme for off-grid schoolchildren. The charity also runs emergency food parcel distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic and advocates for deinstitutionalisation and children's rights.
