We raise the funds that we need for our work with the help of kind individuals like you as well as through CSR grants by corporates and institutions.

Our rigorous selection process is based on the values of trust, transparency and accountability. We screen all the applications we receive, make a shortlist basis the robustness of the applicant’s current operations and number of years of experience and conduct a field visit to evaluate shortlisted applicants and extensively debate our findings internally. Those applicants who meet all our criteria are recommended for approval by our board of trustees.

We ensure that resources are optimally used by our project partners through regular budgeting and reporting systems aided by Account Aid, a firm of chartered accountants specialising in this sector. Our program teams visit each project on a quarterly basis and conduct meetings with the staff, parents, children and the community to assess the project’s progress. Every project is subject to an annual evaluation before we grant them the funds for next year.

We do not receive any direct government funding. However, the government has extended certain tax and duty exemptions to us to help us minimise our costs.

In order to achieve sustainable impact, we pool all the donations we receive and allocate them to the projects and programs we support instead of select individual children. This helps us ensure that there is no differentiation between the children and that your money is able to create long-term change for all children.

We believe that children are entitled to their privacy as well and we take their need for anonymity very seriously. However, while the names of children are withheld, we encourage you to visit our projects so that you can experience the impact your donation is being able to create!
