What We Do

Our Services

The many ways that one morning’s homecoming keeps giving back.

We never set out to build an institution. We set out to be useful — to a child who needs a classroom, a patient who needs a doctor, an elder who needs to feel needed. What follows are the shapes that usefulness has taken, each one begun by mutual consent and carried by hands that expect nothing in return.

Education
📚

Education

Monetary support for deserving students from needy families — from college fees to boarding and lodging in an unknown city — so that a young person can concentrate on nothing but their studies.

Around 2 undergraduates supported every year

Paarvarish — Education for Special Children

In partnership with Paarvarish, a Kolkata school for special children, we support inclusive, individualised education — helping every child grow with confidence, dignity, and a sense of belonging.

Health
🏥

Health

Health camps in the villages near Kolkata — specialist doctors, dental surgeons and young graduates giving their time, with free medicines for all who come. Eye camps run in partnership with the Susrut Eye Foundation.

Free camps, medicines & eye care
Shelter
🏠

Shelter

Our dream of rent-free retirement homes where the aged are kept productive and made to feel needed — never a burden. Our most ambitious promise, and one still being built.

Homes for the aged — in the making
