In rural India, poverty is omnipresent, and opportunity is rare. Parents in this area are often uneducated and do not have the proper resources to raise a family. As a result, many children barely have the money to go to school, and end up working up to 16 hours a day, just to keep their families afloat. Following our mission, we are working to fix this problem by giving these impoverished children and their families an opporunity to learn and succeed by distributing school supplies, clothing, and providing meals on religious days.

Additionally, in the majority of developing countries, religious and cultural boundaries define each and every aspect of daily life. This mindset produces certain societal taboos, and a prevalent taboo that we, as the Subadra Foundation, strive to fix is the negative image associated with widows. In India, widowhood is a state of social death. Regardless of social standing, once their spouse dies, widows are considered to be cursed, and are thus rejected and marginalized. Oftentimes, they are abused by their own family memebers, denied their basic human rights, and deprived of all rights to their property. We will do whatever it takes to re-integrate the disadvantaged and marginalized as functioning members into society. In the process, we aspire to spread our values of genuine compassion, unconditional love, and a desire to live for others in order to foster an atmosphere of communal resposibility.
