Our Trust was created in 1994 with the aim of transforming the lives of impoverished street children in Mumbai. Our work began under a tree in a public garden along the Western Express Highway, helping children who lived off an erratic income from rag-picking. From these humble beginnings we have been able to expand our efforts and lift scores of children out of abject poverty; we aim to transform bleak futures into much more promising ones.

Our activities focus on dramatically improving the nutrition, education, health, and self worth of the children that we help. We try to ensure that our children do not remain emotionally, morally, or materially deprived; we look to transform their ‘threatened’ childhood and make it ‘safe’.

Over the years we have been able to teach the children and their families the value of education, and how this, combined with ‘self-belief’, can result in unimaginable achievements and opportunities. Our motto is ‘I know I can’.
