Chhanv Foundation

Chhanv Foundation aims to raise awareness about the devastating effects of acid attacks on victims' physical, psychological, and social well-being through activities such as campaign stop acid attacks, events protests, social media, programmes in college universities & mass media.

It has initiated a campaign “Stop Acid Attacks” which aims to create a network of acid attack survivors in the country. It is fighting a legal and administrative battle to regulate the sale of acid in retail shops. This campaign is supported with the help of volunteers and crowdfunding.

It conducts 2-minute awareness programmes in busy localities where the general public is made aware and equipped to handle such attacks. They are encouraged to buy commodities from the team or contribute to the cause. Through the “Smile Goal Hai” campaign it is trying to gather support for the acid attack survivors by encouraging people to post smiles on social media and help raise their morale.

Tedx talks have been organised in colleges and campuses in the northern region some notable ones in IIM Lucknow, SRMU Lucknow and IIM Ranchi. This platform enables the acid attack survivors to share their stories and create awareness against this evil of society.

Fashion shows are held regularly which not only exhibit clothes but also the grit and determination of the survivors who walk the ramp to prove that real beauty can never be destroyed by acid attacks.
