Born Free is a volunteer-driven initiative from the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur working to restore dignity, care, and opportunity to children growing up inside Indian prisons with their mothers. These children, often overlooked and underserved, spend their formative years behind bars, facing deep developmental and emotional challenges. Born Free believes no child should live or be shaped by prison walls.
Check out the dedicated group of volunteers from IIT Jodhpur and PrisonKids e.V. Germany, committed to restoring dignity and hope to children behind bars with mothers.
We believe every child, no matter where they are born, deserves dignity, love, and a chance to thrive. Our mission is to break the cycle of shame and silence around children living in prisons with their mothers.
Let’s not allow birth behind bars to define a child’s entire life. Let’s build a support system that sets them Born Free.
