Our Vision

We want to create a world where children impacted by parental incarceration feel equipped to change the trajectory of their lives.

Our founder, Cyril Prabhu, is a passionate advocate for this vision. He shares messages of hope through his “Be Encouraged” podcast and routinely meets with families to facilitate healing.

The ‘Prison Engagements’ allow families to be reunited. Check out this behind-the-scenes footage of children bonding with their parents for the very first time.
