Now, Sofkin feels like a family to me.
The unique aspect of Sofkin is its homely environment, nutritious meals, individualized care, and constant encouragement for the kids to pursue their dreams. I've seen some of the Sofkin children now leading successful lives, working in MNCs, and even living in the US.
As a parent, I often struggle to manage just one child, yet Chaya effortlessly nurtures and guides all the children. They adore her and share a special bond with her.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spend time with these wonderful kids—it’s truly inspiring.
Having grown within this organization, I can truly say it’s been life-changing—not just for me but for the countless children they’ve supported. I’ve seen how deeply they care about each child’s well-being, offering essential resources, educational opportunities, and genuine hope for the future.
I am a testament to the profound impact this organization has on the lives of children.
SOFKIN isn't just a place; it's a nurturing home that instills values and creates opportunities for a brighter future.
Reflecting on my journey from a tea seller on the streets of Hyderabad to a graduate with a degree in computer science engineering, I am filled with gratitude. The transformation was possible because of the unwavering support and belief of SOFKIN and its founder, Chaya Amma. They provided me with the guidance, love, and opportunities that were crucial to my growth.
Today, I am proud to be financially independent and working as an Software Engineer at reputed company. More importantly, I am thrilled to give back to SOFKIN by sponsoring a child, closing the loop of support and opportunity.
SOFKIN's impact extends beyond my story. Now we proudly count 8 alumni among us!
many more children are currently attending college, with many more success stories on the horizon. SOFKIN is not only changing individual lives but is also contributing to a brighter future for many.
For those considering supporting SOFKIN, know that your contributions make a tangible difference. You are empowering children to achieve their dreams and become role models for others.
In conclusion, SOFKIN is a beacon of hope and transformation, and I am honored to be part of its ongoing legacy.
What a beautiful initiative by such caring and selfless individuals who founded and run this non profit. So heartwarming to hear the success stories of kids who benefitted from this.
My experience at SOFKIN was truly transformative. It provided me with a safe haven and not just shelter, but also emotional support and guidance. In this nurturing environment, I was able to explore my passions and develop valuable skills. The focus on personal growth helped me navigate various challenges while fostering a strong sense of community. With dedicated mentors, housemothers and abundant resources, I felt empowered to pursue my dreams and make a positive impact on my family and society. SOFKIN’s commitment to supporting underprivileged children is truly commendable, and I am grateful for everything it has offered me.
SOFKIN is an incredible organization, where you can truly feel and see the impact you are making on a child’s life. These children not only survive, but they actually thrive with the individualized love and attention that SOFKIN gives them. It’s a one of a kind organization, I encourage everyone to continue to support SOFKIN.
SOFKIN is truly a better home for every child. Not just an orphanage or a facility that provides children with basic accommodation and schooling. It's a home, designed to teach, nourish and build their bright future with all-round care. I am aware of similar organizations which work with a noble intent of making an impactful contribution to the society and they are all as passionate and hardworking as SOFKIN is. However, what gives SOFKIN an edge is its resolve in keeping it's administration costs minimal. It ensures every penny/paisa earned is effectively used to help build a Child.
I take immense pride in part of team that's driving this effort along with Mrs. Chaya and other members of the Board.
I am a Board member for the past 15 years in SOFKIN. There are many success stories of our children and this is a continuous process. All funds raised are spent exclusively for the development of children
I’ve been a proud supporter of Sofkin for eight years and have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact they’ve made on children. Sofkin doesn’t just provide education; they create a nurturing, family-like environment that empowers children to believe in themselves and achieve their dreams.
I’ve seen countless stories of children who have blossomed under their guidance, going on to secure fulfilling careers and make a positive difference in the world. Sofkin is more than just an organization; it’s a beacon of hope for countless young people. I highly recommend supporting their invaluable work.
SOFKIN has truly transformed my life. I joined SOFKIN at the age of eleven when my family was unable to provide for my basic needs. Today, I am settled in the United States, living a dream I never thought possible. SOFKIN didn’t just provide the resources necessary for my success—it gave me the love, support, and guidance every child needs. Through SOFKIN, I learned the importance of becoming an independent woman and I see the value of it by being one.
Over the years, I have seen many organizations, but SOFKIN is different. It’s not just an organization—it’s a home, filled with love, care, and a true family environment. I am forever grateful for everything SOFKIN has done for me

I am proud to say that I have known this organization since inception and the noble and wonderful work they are doing for kids in need from boarding, lodging, health, education and higher studies. They are building kids future - independent and strong kids. A very transparent, empathetic, caring and professionally managed organization delivering on their community commitment with responsibility. Donate generously to help kids in need.
i have been following SOFKIN for many years. Founder Chaya Pamula is so dedicated to each and every child that crosses its threshold. She mentors and teaches kids; she does career counseling with the young people as they consider what they want to do after high school. She helps them dream big and then achieve those dreams. Orphans who would otherwise be on the street are not only housed and fed, but developed to meet their full potential. Even once graduated, many of the kids come back as volunteers to help the next kids. These kids shine: as students, as dancers, as artists, as videographers, as... you name it. And most importantly, as good loving human beings. SOFKIN provides for boys and girls to grow into their best selves. It is a unique and magical and loving oasis and deserves our support!
SOFKIN is a wonderful organization that does so much for kids in need. They provide underprivileged children with food, healthcare, education, and a home. The kids are truly wonderful and are raised to be respectful and educated people. They are so talented and have gained so much from this organization. SOFKIN has helped to mold these children and bring out the best in them. The kids are also taught how to give back to the world after experiencing the love and care that SOFKIN has given them. The founder Chaya ( known Chaya amma) has truly done an amazing job.
Sofkin is an amazing organization which has accomplished so much for underprivileged children. From giving them a home, food, and education to setting up activities to be involved in, Sofkin has always kept the students' best interests at the focus of every project. The goal of the organization to personally support and provide opportunities for the children to excel is very inspiring, and all the members of Sofkin are so genuine in their endeavors. I am so glad to have been involved with Sofkin and hope the organization grows to reach more children as well.
Doing it like a penance! It takes a lot of personal sacrifice to be running a business full time, and manage a huge home full of children (over 100 and counting). This organization is one of a kind, and it is so selfless. Such organizations need all the good support the world can provide.
It has been a great journey till date and I feel privileged to be a part of SOFKIN. It not just nurturing kids but beyond that its bringing out the best of their abilities and making them shine like rockstars. Always happy to be associated with passion, courage and enthusiasm on any projects or tasks for this organization. It really feels wonderful and awesome to be associated for a noble cause.
I had a great oppurtunity to connect to SOFKIN. Excited being a volunteer and happy for thses kids. They are super talented Kids and these kids get all they need in life along with good education. They are future stars. Good luck Kids.
With COVID impacting so many lives -- locking pupils inside and schooling turning digital -- it is imperative that young children have a great nurturing environment to thrive positively. I am amazed at Ms. Pamula's resolve, love, kindness, & generosity in turning Sofkin into a loving home for the kids. Salute!
I am a donor for Sofkin and I didn't have any personal interactions with the team yet , but their YouTube videos and messages instilled confidence in me that I am supporting the right organization that gives the kids a right platform to grow and make their lives .
I really appreciate the founder's vision and commitment to this noble cause .

I have had the distinct privilege of working with Chaya and SOFKIN for the past two years. I have been involved with many charitable organizations through the years, but so very few have provided true and lasting support the way SOFKIN does. These children, who very likely wouldn’t have lived very long, are given a new start in life. They have a safe, warm, comforting place to call home. It’s a place where they learn responsibility, where they are educated, fed, and have their health concerns addressed. There are so few organizations that genuinely provide such loving care, and it’s evident in the radiant smiles from the children.
Even more so, every donation of every size goes directly to providing this support system. No board members receive any remuneration. The staffs at the SOFKIN homes are women who have also come from exceedingly harsh circumstances. They have been well trained, guided, and also receive continuous support from the leadership. They are paid – and it may well be the first time they’ve every made any money to call their own.
This is an amazing organization, and I am truly inspired by it and please to be associated with it.
