Women and Child Welfare Society

Women and Child Welfare Society (WCWS), with its headquarters located in the city of Cuttack, is a not-for-profit organization working towards the overall development of deprived communities–the poor and marginalised sections of the society in the State. Working for the last two decades to ameliorate the condition of poor and deprived classes, the initiatives undertaken by the Society are specially directed to bring wellbeing for women, children, youths and general public in the broader perspective with active community participation. Though registered on September 23, 1995 under the Societies Act, 1860, the organisation had come into being in January, 1994 with relentless efforts and active involvement of some young volunteers coming together for the socio-economic uplift of the vulnerable and weaker sections of the society, especially women, children youths and general public with the aim of improving their quality of life in a holistic manner which over the years, have encompassed activities permeating the fields of health, education, science and technology, sanitation, environmental protection, road safety, energy conservation, women empowerment, child rights, climate change, youth empowerment, self employment, awareness generation and conservation of resources consistent with the norms of sustainable development. The organisation acts as a unique resource agency which bridges the gap between public welfare schemes and the disadvantaged sections of the society.

Creating awareness among the masses on issues concerning their development, empowering the weaker sections and providing much needed fillip to them in matters directly linked to their development have been the prime efforts made by our volunteers and staff.
