Ruchika Social Service Organization welcomes you to the launch of our newsletter.

Since 1985, with just a handful of dedicated volunteers and an underpaid staff, Ruchika has committed itself to helping street children escape from a world of deprivation, disease and abuse. By providing safety, nutrition and education, we endeavour to give them an opportunity to grow instead, into a world of endless potential and realize the dream of every human being...

...to lead a safe and fulfilling life.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Ruchika is engaged in a never ending struggle to raise the necessary funds and resources to keep our various programs and projects alive.

The Platform Children of Bhubhaneshwar depend totally on the generosity of concerned individuals and socially aware businesses to have access to a staff of dedicated but under-compensated volunteers, teachers and counselors

This requires an ongoing effort on our parts and we cannot offer these children an opportunity for a normal life without your help.

PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY
