In a family, where either of the parents is imprisoned, it is the children who get affected the most.
Losing out on all counts, particularly in schooling and social security, these children become the substance of abuse and thus become potential criminals when they grow up.
The CVF Project identifies such children from the prison or sometimes even from the slum areas and ensures their schooling. It also provides financial support wherever required. A Counselor and local Guardian along with the Project Manager not only oversee the physical, emotional and mental well being of the child, but also interact with the parents, relatives, school and prison authorities. In case, the child has no place to call as home, he/she is admitted into identified residential schools, with the Foundation taking upon the role of a Guardian. IVF takes care of all the needs of the child, including books, uniforms, clothes, schools fees, etc. The IVF Counselor and local Guardian also visit the child's home regularly. The children are also taken for educational as well as recreational tours.
SOME OF THE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS THAT ARE PART OF THE CVF PROJECT:
- ASSISI CONVENT SCHOOL, Noida
- GRACE MISSION SCHOOL, Gurgaon
- BAL VIHAR, Palam
- ST. JOHN BOYS SCHOOL, Khera Khurd, Delhi
- GRACE HOME, Rohini

At present 173 children are registered in the CVF Project, out of which around 160 are in the residential schools and the rest are either in regular Government schools or are being prepared to enter one.
