The Numbers
15,200+
In 2021, over 152,000 children under the age of five in rural India were classified as malnourished. This number reflects the widespread condition caused by inadequate nutrition due to insufficient intake of calories, protein, or essential vitamins and minerals, highlighting the urgent need for improved nutrition, healthcare, and resource allocation.
0.50
As of 2020, India has a Human Capital Index (ICI) of 0.5. This number indicates that half of the human capital potential in India is actually being utilized, implying there is still loads of room for development in human potential within the country. This score can change depending on various factors, including education, health, and resources given to the public.
46,000,000+
In 2022, over 46 million children between the age of 0-19 were affected by poverty! This number illustrates the widespread lack of access to basic needs such as food, education, and healthcare, highlighting the urgent need for targeted policies and resource allocation to improve the well-being of the multitude of vulnerable youth.

Our Latest Impact
On August 10th, 2024, we visited a small local school near an underprivileged village in Guduvancheri, Tamil Nadu, India. During our visit, we had the opportunity to lend a helping hand by providing over 185 disadvantaged children from grades 1-8 with brand-new pencils, pens, pencil boxes, erasers, and notebooks to aid their success in school.
