Udayan Care - NGO in India



Udayan Care is an Indian Non-Profit Organization with its head office in New-Delhi.

According to their website - the vision of the organization is to ‘regenerate the lives of the disadvantaged’, particularly children. The NGO is committed to sustainable social development.

The organization's motto is change and they aim to give "Every child a home and education, every adult the dignity of self reliance and the desire to give back to society."

Udayan builds families for children in need: They create L.I.F.E (Living In Family Environment) HOMES for children, who are abandoned or orphaned and do not have natural Families. Through such homes the organization promotes family ‘bonding’, physical and mental health and social integration of these children, who were otherwise abused, physically as well as mentally.

Udayan Care creates opportunities for girls by supporting the holistic development of young girls from weaker sections of society through the 'Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme' by providing them financial help as well as mentoring.

Please visit their website Udayan Care to know about their projects and make a contribution through volunteering, buying products or donating to change the lives of the disadvantaged.
