To carry on a number of focused interventions for street and working children, mainly through field based interventions (Programme Action) and through advocacy, research, training and alliance building with partners and stakeholders (Policy Action).

Butterflies is a registered voluntary organization working with street and working children in Delhi since 1989. We believe in the right of every child to have a full-fledged childhood where she/he has the right to protection, respect, opportunities and participation in his/her growth and development. Rights of street and working children are no exception. Butterflies is committed to a non-institutional approach, follows principle of democracy and promotes children’s participation in decision making as part of its programme planning, monitoring and evaluation. Given its belief in participation of children in all our activities, it is more appropriately called a "Programme with Street and Working Children". Our main aim is to empower street and working children with skills and knowledge to protect their rights and to develop them as respected and productive citizens. We use the Constitution of India, Laws related to Children and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a major tool for ensuring government and public accountability for all.
