Our organization is committed to empowering underprivileged and marginalized children by providing them with access to quality education and nurturing their full potential.

These platforms enable children to voice their concerns, address local issues, and participate directly in decision-making processes that affect their lives.

To combat the challenge of school dropouts, we run the Community Pathashala, which fosters a positive and engaging learning environment, making education accessible and appealing.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, our organization actively addressed the severe economic challenges faced by marginalized groups, informal workers, and individuals with chronic illnesses like Tuberculosis. By collaborating with various organizations and individual philanthropists, we provided immediate relief to 2,000 families. This support included essential items such as food, masks, sanitizers, medicines, and unconditional cash transfers.

We also have a strong history of rapid response during natural disasters. Following Cyclone FANI in 2019 and Cyclone Phailin in 2013, we swiftly distributed relief materials, organized health check-up camps, and provided essential support to affected communities, helping them recover and rebuild.
