    Implemented directly by HCNF, this new initiative of the reporting year operates in close collaboration with the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) of Pune district. Its primary objective is to offer counseling and other forms of assistance to children in need of care and support, as well as those in conflict with the law. Two counselors, appointed by HCNF, consistently provide support to these children. Additionally, the project has established a dedicated space for counseling and various activities at the CWC center in Yerwada, Pune. Commencing in January 2023, this initiative remains ongoing and has already impacted the lives of 91 children. CWC members heavily rely on the support provided by these counselors for the overall well-being of the children.
