Health and Nutrition: Building a Brighter Future for Every Child in India

Good health and proper nutrition are the foundations of a strong, thriving society. Yet, millions of children in India still face the harsh realities of malnutrition, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare. We believe every child deserves a healthy start in life—one filled with strength, dignity, and hope.

Join our mission to secure health and nutrition for every child in India. With the support of our donors and partners, we are implementing robust public health projects, strengthening healthcare systems, and reaching more vulnerable children and families every day.
