OUR HISTORY
CEAC has been working to promote family based care for children in India since 2015.
It started in 2004 when Vasundhra was feeling helpless to restore a girl back to her mother, who was a prostitute in brothel. She was adamant to go back and Vasundhra was unable to find solutions in legal system and also in social sector to provide a family life, which she wanted. Child Welfare League of America visit to India, opened a new chapter in her life when they invited her to study and understand foster care system.
It was in 2015, foster care became part of our new Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) and Vasundhra decided to leave her Membership from Child Welfare Committee and start Centre of Excellence in Alternative Care for Children.
We started with enhancing the capabilities of implementers so as to put them into practice and help children in being placed in family based care in the country.
