CHILDERN

“if a girl  is educated future mother is educated and no mother wants her child to be less educated than her”

We started supporting girl children for school education, especially the semi orphan, orphan and poor girls. Later on children irrespective of gender, caste, color or religion were provided help as we realized that everyone should get minimum education for better future otherwise there is a possibility to get attracted to  unsocial  activities.
