All our activities started in a humble way have grown beyond our limits of sustenance. We do not have a huge reserve or flowing funds. We manage because we staunchly believe and trust in the inherent goodness and generosity of the human heart.

Any little help goes a long way in wiping the tears of the poor. The timely help offered now will carry the fruits for a lifetime. Anyone who believes that helping the poor is seeing divinity can help us carry on our humble work.
