NEW DELHI: Aon, the British financial services company, has agreed to partner Child Rights and You (CRY), one of India’s renowned NGOs, to fight for the rights of underprivileged children in the country through sport.
The partnership aims to enrich the lives of over 6,500 children across 52 villages by providing them better sporting facilities as a part of their education.
“We are extremely glad to have Aon’s support in our relentless effort to reach out to the last child and ensure its right to childhood. Sports impacts a child in a positive way and we have seen over the years motivating stories come out from the most challenging communities – Vysarpadi, the largest slum in Chennai which formed the genesis of the event. It is our continued effort to see a lasting change in the lives of children and sports is a great facilitator of that change which we want to harness through partnerships like these,” Suma Ravi, CRY’s regional director in the South told cityairnews.com.
“Aon and its subsidiary, CoCubes are proud to be associated as Title Sponsors for Aon CRY Soccer for Child Rights – a unique initiative from CRY to provide equal opportunity for education to children,” Tarandeep Singh, Aon’s Asia Pacific & Middle East head, said.
