I am a supporter and volunteer for HELP Foundation for over 12 years. The foundation started with a grass roots movement working tirelessly to be the voices of the destitute and underprivileged children in multiple locations in India.
What attracted me to this social cause was the unwavering dedication and focus that all members and volunteers of the organization have on ensuring every penny goes to support the children.
Each year, volunteers go to visit locations that oversee the children's needs and monitor how the funds are being put to use. Reports of the progress of the children in their academic and personal lives provides the sponsors the reassurance that funds are reaching and benefitting those in need.
HELP foundation also encourages youth volunteers in the US to use their talent and also foster the sense of community service in the process of raising funds for the children in India.
Excellent charity for vulnerable children. The members work hard to bring resources to these orphan children.
I have been a volunteer of HELP Foundation for 15+ years. I have been impressed with the dedication of the office bearers to meet the goals of the foundation. The office bearers periodically visit the children supported in the different ashrams. Over the years, we have steadily increased the number of children the foundation supports. This year 2022 the foundation is supporting 450 children in different ashrams throughout India. The foundation supports school and college going children. Our goal is to support the child, so they can become a productive member of the society. 100% of every dollar donated to HELP goes to support the orphan and destitute children in India. There are no paid employees and the foundation operates solely by dedicated volunteers. In other words, there are no overhead costs. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and every dollar you donate is tax deductible.
My name is Padma Soma and my husband and I have known this organization for many years. This non profit organization, where 100% of the donations received are used to fund and promote education and health for under privileged. Its run completely by volunteers and we are proud to be part of the organization.
HELP Foundation has been started to support the orphan and destitute children abandoned by their parents in India. The MOST unique feature of this ONE OF A KIND charitable organization is their dedication and respect to every penny they receive as donations. IT IS 100% VOLUNTEER BASED ORGANIZATION and the donations are invested locally and the interest sent for the children support. All of the running expenses are met by voluntary donations by the office bearers and benefactors. The Orphanages in India are routinely visited and monitored by the office bearers. IT IS THE MOST SELFLESS ORGANIZATION PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE AND IMAGINABLE SUPPORT TO THE NEEDY.
The children they have supported from infancy have become doctors, nurses, engineers and computer professionals and are giving back to the community that supported them.
I very strongly recommend HELP Foundation to anyone where even the smallest donation is received with the utmost respect by the organization.
My personal donation does not go anywhere else except HELP Foundation which paints each child's life with the color the child wants to have.

What I like about HELP foundation is that for over 25 years they have worked with a volunteer force that allows 100% of the donations to go directly to the students.
We are involved with HELP Foundation since 1999. The whole family looks forward to the annual walkathon and meeting like minded people to raise funds to support destitute children in India. My son basically grew up with this family, first participating in the 5 mile walk around the Manasquan reservoir in stroller, then in bicycle with training wheels, then walk and run! He has raised funds in lieu of his birthday gifts since his 1st birthday all the way through high school graduation party! We are proud of being part of HELP Foundation family and passing this good cause to next generation. My son is now involved in raising funds through tutoring and college consulting for high school students.
We have seen this organization grow from supporting 50 children to now 450 annually across India in 9 different locations. The main factor that drives us to this organization is it is fully volunteer run with zero overhead. Meaning each penny we donate goes to taking care of health and education of a young destitute child in India.
