About NGO:

1. Started with an idea to serve society in fields of health, education and civic works. For health, we specifically help patients at Sion hospital with their financial needs and also skin grafts that could be used to save lives of burn victims.
2. Every year we help about 300-350 children studying in private schools, with their fees.
3. Have taken up civic issues like PIL against unjust towing of cars and currently PIL against medical insurance companies for unfair claims settlement.
4. Our major initiative "Environment First" is to spread awareness amongst people regarding civic sense (against littering, spitting, wastage of electricity etc.)

Fund Usage:

1. Spreading awareness about SKIN donation (which is just like eye donation)., to help save lives of burn victims.
2. Help more children with their school fees
3. Take up "Environment First" as a major signature campaign across the city. This would reduce illnesses and in general, the burden on our fragile environment.

Impact:

1. Over 350 skin donations received. Each donation saves 3-4 lives.
2. Many children of private schools, who may have otherwise dropped out or transferred to a BMC school.
3. Benefits of "Environment First" signature campaign are intangible, but are extremely important. We have already collected over 6,000 pledges.
