Our Thoughts
India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Though the divide between those who have and those that have nothing is only too obvious to anyone visiting India. So, we a group of individuals in the United Kingdom have started this foundation having keen interest to help the needy children and families in Odisha, India.
Our focus is on Odisha- an eastern Indian state on the Bay of Bengal – one of the poorest states in the whole of India. it’s rich in natural resources but underdeveloped and with a slum population of 1.5 million. Many from the 62 scheduled rural tribes are subsistence farmers struggling to survive so they travel to the cities like Bhubaneswar to seek a new life and sadly many become stuck in the cycle of poverty and become slum dwellers. 14 of the coastal districts are prone to cyclones and floods while in the western districts 11 are prone to drought. Only 19 % of the population have access to drinking water in their home. 20% of children do not have any schooling. Odisha has the highest rate of infant mortality in the whole of India. So we want to seek out well managed local charities that can help those that need help most. I hope you will support our efforts in any way you can .
