Abhilasha Foundation

Abhilasha Foundation provides refuge to distressed children who have faced challenging circumstances that have separated them from the warmth of a family during their formative years.

Recognizing the urgent need, Abhilasha Foundation is dedicated to the holistic development of these unfortunate children who have been marginalized and overlooked by society. The foundation strives to reintegrate them into the societal mainstream, understanding the essential requirements for their overall growth.
