The Child in Need Institute
(CINI) helps poor mothers and children in India by improving their nutrition,
health and education.

One of Prospero's clients has already made a significant gift towards
CINI's Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre and Emergency Ward.
Current funding priorities include securing the future of the Nutrition
Rehabilitation Centre and Emergency Ward.
Some donations may be eligible for matched funding. Please contact Prespero
for further details about this opportunity.

CINI works both at a practical level with local communities, and at government
level, to bring about sustainable improvements in nutrition, health, education
and protection for children and mothers in India. CINI's fundamental aim
is to break the persistent cycles of poverty, malnutrition and ill health.
Our assessment:
- An impressive, clear-sighted, and dedicated organisation. CINI is recognised
as being expert in its field.
- Projects deliver both immediate and long-term benefits to women, children
and to their wider communities.
- CINI is excellent value for money, especially with the opportunity to
increase UK donations through a matched giving scheme in December 2009.
