We are happy to inform all our stakeholders that we now are an FCRA approved NGO.
We have been trying to get this approval through the GoI portal for quiet some time and although it is a bit time consuming,
we found out that it certainly is doable on our own. Earlier in the last week of December we were informed that the status has been updated and we received our certificate last week.
We hope to achieve even higher aims with the backing of this news at the beginning of the new year.
We will soon update the donation information here
