Our Dream: To transform the lives of thousands of poor and deprived children into lives filled with health, happiness, promise and achievement. We believe that giving them access to quality education is the first and most important step towards this endeavor. Ankur, The children’s home, is the first project of Advaith Foundation where we provide a home and facilities that help support & supplement the education.
Advaith Foundation is a health and quality education and having the volunteers live with us also gives us all an opportunity to learn about people, food, culture & geographical backgrounds of our volunteers. We also enjoy sharing the rich cultural heritage of India, our country though food, celebrations and other such exciting activities.
