Overview

Mission

To aid the impoverished peoples of india. We do this by providing assistance in education, health care, vocational training for marginalized people, veterinary care and leadership development.

What it reported doing in 2025

2025 was a strong year of investment into the work of our partners in india. A three person team visited our partners in march 2025 to observe their work more closely, inspect funded projects, and to make plans for the future. Our education mission invested heavily in training young women and men to attend nursing school and to visit them on our trip. Overall we invested over 70,000 in 42 students to attend school. We were able to interview six of these graduates during our trip in march 2025, learning of the impact of the training on their lives, careers and families. In healthcare, we invested in a community mental health project, hospital infrastructure development, palliative care for the terminally ill, and programs that provide resources for those with physical disabilities. Overall, we invested over 96,000 in our healthcare mission. In veterinary care we expanded our support in vetnet and invested 15,600 for training of villagers in the care and treatment of their animals, and in the use of medications that cure animals of parasites and ticks. This was enthusiastically received by those in the villages. In leadership development we invested in the training of leaders including courses on the principles of leadership, how to manage resources effectively, and how to help those who have experienced trauma in life. We invested over 76,000 in our leadership development mission.
