The India Alternative Care Network believes that collaboration and shared knowledge are key to improving alternative care for children across India. If you have any resource such as researches on alternative care (National or International), tools, SOPs, manual, policy briefs or nay any literature or IEC material related to the children without parental care or at risk of separation and that could contribute to the cause of the network, we encourage you to share them with us.
