Shadhika

A Foundation
with Great Aspirations

Make a Difference

Shadhika depends on individual and corporate contributions to maintain and extend its services. Here are examples of how far your donated dollar will go:

  • $60 will support one child in school for 3 months
  • $120 will support 3 months of rehabilitation for one woman
  • $600 will provide 2 meals a day for 25 children for 1 month
  • $900 will make 2 orphan teenagers employable through vocational training

Most importantly, Shadhika is a "zero overhead" foundation, so you can be assured that 100% of your donations goes directly to the projects.
