In 1999, a few young energetic minds along with Retd. Army officers got together for doing something not for themselves but for the society . They thought “we have taken a lot from society lets try to payback”. Thus DESTITUTE INDIA was born.
When we started working in 1999, our approach was simple. We provided food and shelter for children in orphanages through child sponsorship. But we’ve learned a lot in last 18 years. Now we offer a full solution of poverty and injustice issues — and make it sustainable so that it lasts forever. We work in the most difficult contexts and remote areas with the aim to help people so that they can live by their own choice.
