Malini, from a remote village in Tamil Nadu, overcame hurdles to continue her education and crack NEET. Now, at Tirunelveli Medical College, she’s set to be the first woman doctor in her village.
The last year was an exciting year for us and our children, all because of your generosity – we were able to transform the lives of over 900,000 children.
This year we aim to reach 1 million children in India.
Your continuous support can help us create a world where every child goes to school, gets proper nutrition and healthcare and stays protected from practices such as child labour and child marriage.
Let us come together to give our children a new year filled with hope and possibilities. It’s the contribution of generous donors like you that gives us hope for a brighter tomorrow. We wish the coming year for you will be filled with joy and kindness that you can pass on to our children.
Help us reach a million smiles for our children in 2026
From us to you, wish you a Happy New Year!
