Vision

Vision

To strive towards providing assistance to under-privileged children and to empower them is of paramount importance. The promise of the two basic rights—education and good health— must be delivered. This necessarily entails:

Funding of critical care equipment

Funding of medicines and consumables

Funding for critical and specialized surgery

Logistic support by deploying volunteers

Our Goal

Money will be utilized to fund critical care equipment, medicines, as also to fund critical surgeries of under-privileged children. Donors will get regular updates on our activities and how the donations are being used, by way of emails and newsletters. Most importantly,
every rupee collected and spent will be regularly updated on the website. There will be 100% transparency of accounts.
