The Project was conceived to keep children safe by creating awareness on child safety among young Children, Parents, and Teachers.

The objective of Project ‘Masoom’ is to spread awareness on Child Sex Abuse by conducting workshops with primary school teachers, visiting schools to teach the children about safe and unsafe touch, sensitize parents about it & to awaken public alertness through rallies & campaigns. During the Awareness program, the National award winning animated clip Komal made by ‘Child Line Foundation’ is shown to the children. Project Masoom is operational pan India and last year we have successfully reached a direct impact on 21 Lacs individuals (including children, teachers, parents and other sections of the society).
