They can contribute their money, materials, time, or skills. This collective action has an impact and brings about change. Every individual’s contribution is important.

At Saviour foundation believe that sustainable change for children is possible only when we address the root causes – such as non-functioning schools, child labor, unemployed parents, non-availability of healthcare centers, etc – that keep children away from their rights and vulnerable.

Therefore, ensuring not just a small change, but an entire movement towards sustainable change in the lives of the children and their families.
