Phia Foundation is doing a great job of providing basic education to children of rag pickers in Ghaziabad. This is such an initiative no other non-profit organization has considered so far. Rag pickers children are always deprived of their basic education in the society and they needs to be supported. Hence, I would like to extend my support to this foundation.
Commitment, passion and sense of purpose is apparent in the many aspects of work of the PhiaFoundation. Their effective outcomes are informed by clear thinking and efficient organisation. The Foundation needs and deserves support to expand their reach and change the lives of even more people whose current situations and future prospects are otherwise bleak. It would be wonderful if there could ever come a time when an organisation like this were no longer relevant - and their principle of sustainability is important - but until we reach the end of the rainbow I wish them well in continuing to bring hope and promise to those who without their help would have little or none.
Extremely dedicated team, credible organization and have measurable impacts at the ground level benefitting most marginalized and vulnerable group - Rag pickers in urban slums of Delhi- NCR.
I have heard a lot about the work of the Phia Foundation and am so impressed in their commitment to supporting some of the most vulnerable communities. The breadth of the complex projects they carry out is admirable and I hope very much that they are able to maintain this outstanding work. Best wishes. (End of message).
The Phia Foundation's projects are incredibly important to people living in poverty. The projects they run provide a huge help to a cross-section of people from different social groups to improve their lives. I am extremely impressed with the work that they do.
Its so important that the lives of under privileged people in India are helped to better their life chances through education, emergency support etc. The Phia foundation has been setting a standard for any charity working in this field and I am so proud of the work they have achieved. My best wishes, they continue their outstanding work.
Phia foundation has been making a real difference in the lives of under privileged people who are being left out through their various services be it education, emergency support etc. I had an opportunity to visit their Jugnu education project in Bhuapur slums where they run 'Bridge School'. There has been a remarkable progress in their education and many of them have been enrolled to the mainstream government school. I wish they continue to support and provide them a life of dignity.
Phia foundation has been making an amazing difference in changing and assisting the lives of under privileged people. They offer several types of help including education, emergency support etc. The Phia foundation team are a wonderful group of people who demonstrate their passion through their work. I wish them success for the future so that they are able to continue their amazing work.

I was in Nepal and have seen the work of PHIA foundation towards the earthquake relief response. It works with utmost transparency with the vision of society free from poverty, exclusion and discrimination and where all people live with justice and dignity. I would like to engage with PHIA again to contribute towards it's drive for change.
