Education, health, income, and access to people who know how systems work. Each one makes the others stick.
Sponsoring a child end to end — fees, books, uniform, exam costs — and staying with them year after year rather than for a single term. Alongside school sponsorship we support vocational training, digital literacy and skill development.
Health awareness camps, clean water projects, nutrition support and care for those the system tends to miss — the elderly, the destitute, and children without families.
Income is what makes every other gain stick. We back women-led enterprise, self-help groups and rural employability so that families can hold on to progress once we step back.
Our memorandum lets us do something most welfare foundations cannot: give real business guidance. We bring entrepreneurship, intellectual property and management advice to institutions and non-profits that need it and cannot pay for it.
Most of our energy right now goes into one thing: taking on the full cost of a child's education and staying with it until they finish.
Full cost means full cost. School fees, books, uniform, shoes, exam fees, and the small unbudgeted things — a project submission, a bus fare to a district competition — that quietly decide whether a child participates or sits it out.
We commit for the long run rather than by the year, because a sponsorship that might stop is a sponsorship a family cannot plan around.
We do not publish per-child costs yet. Once our first full financial year closes we will publish real figures rather than estimates.
Our memorandum of association is deliberately broad, so that the foundation is not forced back to the Registrar every time the need in front of it changes shape. In summary, we are authorised to:
Poverty alleviation, healthcare access, livelihood generation, women's empowerment, child welfare and senior citizen care, through direct programmes and community mobilisation.
Establishing and running orphanages, old-age homes, destitute homes, rehabilitation centres, community kitchens and animal shelters — with food, clothing, medical care and counselling.
Promoting education from primary to higher levels, including technical education, vocational training, skill development and digital literacy; running institutions and partnering with universities in India and abroad.
Promoting innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship, intellectual property and business management, and providing advisory services to institutions, government and local bodies.
Responding to natural and man-made calamities with effective relief work, and running health camps, clean water projects and adult literacy programmes.
Representing the interests of low-income communities, and providing legal assistance in matters relating to their economic and social upliftment.
Corporate partners can back a specific programme end to end. We will report on it properly.
