WHO WE ARE

We are a non-political and non-profit organisation focusing on improving the lives of marginalised children, women and families. We are based in Jammu and Kashmir and run several innovative programs geared towards education, empowerment, relief work and health care.

WHAT WE DO

We have been active in Jammu and Kashmir since 2004 when we started with our pilot project – a home for a group of orphaned boys and girls in Srinagar. We have since grown to include several other programs.

Our Vision

To work towards social and economic empowerment of women and youth; ensuring familial care and education for vulnerable children; and providing material assistance to impoverished families whose homes need repairs due to damage caused by natural disasters.
