In a world that has enough food, medicine and technology, it is sad to see children still living in poverty, abuse and neglect. That is why Ashid K. Bahl founded the Society, to show people that we can make a difference by helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Locally, we have helped with specialized medical treatments, equipment and medicine not covered by our health care system and not accessible due to financial constraints. Special needs children have gained access to specialized walkers, van and porch lifts, communication devices, food, clothing, playgrounds, and the Annual Santa’s Express. Internationally, we have helped with water wells, educational supplies, toys, and have been able to build & support several orphanages and schools. 90% of our funding comes in the form of private and corporate donations. Our Society is 99% volunteer based, which keeps our administrative costs low and hence that money raised can be best spent helping children.
