Who we are

It started with one pot of khichdi and a scooter.

No grant. No office. A few friends who could not walk past the same children every evening and keep pretending they had not seen them.

That first evening we fed nine children behind a construction site. We did not have a plan for the tenth. So we came back the next week with a bigger pot — and someone had told a neighbour, and the neighbour had told a friend, and by the third month we were feeding a hundred and twenty.

Shree Sneh Foundation grew out of that stubbornness, not out of a strategy document. Today we run four standing programmes and a set of seasonal drives across 46 villages and urban settlements — and the food is still cooked and carried by the same volunteers who show up on their day off.

  • We hand it over ourselves. No contractor, no distribution agent, no photo-op middleman.
  • We give what we would accept. Fresh food, new blankets, unbroken school kits — never anyone’s cast-offs.
  • We show you the receipt. 80G certificate for you, and an honest account of where your money went.

Why this is different

Most charity stops at the cheque.
Ours starts there.

How giving usually feels

  • You transfer money to an organisation you found online.
  • You receive an automated thank-you and a newsletter.
  • A percentage disappears into fundraising commissions.
  • You never learn which child, which street, which day.
  • Next year you are asked again, by a call centre.
โค๏ธ

How giving works here

  • You choose the cause — meals, school kits, blankets, ration, elder care.
  • You see the arithmetic before you give. ₹35 is one meal. ₹450 is one school kit.
  • Volunteers deliver it — the same people who cooked it and carried it.
  • You get photographs from the actual distribution, on WhatsApp.
  • You get your 80G receipt without having to chase anyone for it.

We are small enough that you can call a trustee and get an answer. We intend to stay that way.

What we do, every week

Four promises we actually keep

Not fourteen causes done badly. Four, done properly, in the places we can reach and return to.

Education Children receiving school kits in a government primary school

Child Education

A notebook is cheaper than a lost decade. We put school kits, books and stationery directly into the hands of children in government schools — and follow up so they are still there next term.

₹450= one complete school kit
Hunger Children eating a hot meal served from steel containers

Hunger Relief

Freshly cooked, hot, full plates — served on the pavement, at the site, outside the shelter. Not packets handed from a moving car. We sit down where the people are.

₹35= one hot, full meal
Elders Elderly women receiving monthly ration kits

Elder Care

Old age in India is often lonely before it is poor. We deliver a month’s ration, basic medicine and — the part nobody funds — an hour of company, to elders living alone.

₹1,500= one month of elder support
Orphan care A child holding a new blanket at a shelter

Orphan Support

For children with no one to sign their school form, we become the ones who do. School fees, uniform, food, medical care and a volunteer who remembers their birthday.

₹2,500= one month of full care
Seasonal & special drives

Some needs only show up once a year.

Winter, exam season, festival week, the monsoon gap in daily wages. We plan for these instead of being surprised by them.

๐Ÿงฃ

Winter Blanket Drive

New blankets and warm clothes before the first cold night, not after it.

๐Ÿฉน

Dignity Kits for Girls

Six months of sanitary supplies, so no girl misses a week of school every month.

๐ŸŽ†

Festival Joy Drive

Sweets, toys and new clothes at Diwali and Dussehra — children should get to be children.

๐Ÿš

Monthly Ration Kits

A full month of grain, oil and pulses for a family that has run out of options.

In their words

Donors, volunteers and the families we serve

★★★★★

“I gave ₹5,100 for the winter drive on a Tuesday. On Sunday I got photographs of the actual blankets being handed over, with the date. I have donated to bigger organisations for years and never once seen that.”

Rakesh ShahBusiness owner, monthly donor
★★★★★

“Our company was looking for a CSR partner small enough to actually see the work. They gave us per-unit costs, a distribution plan and the 80G paperwork in one meeting. Our employees came along on the drive.”

Nishita DesaiHR Head, CSR partner company
★★★★★

“I came for one Sunday because a friend dragged me. I have not missed a month since. You do not forget the first time a child asks whether you are coming back next week.”

Jay TrivediVolunteer, two years
★★★★★

“My daughter used to miss four or five days of school every month. Since the foundation started giving the kits, she has not missed a single one. Nobody had ever spoken to us about it before.”

Kailashben P.Mother, dignity kit programme
★★★★★

“I live alone since my husband passed. The ration comes on the first week, without fail. But honestly it is the sitting and talking for half an hour that I wait for.”

Savitaben M.Elder care programme
★★★★★

“I asked for a breakdown of where my donation went. I expected a brochure. I got an itemised list with the supplier rates. That is when I set up a standing monthly amount.”

Dr. Anand MehtaRegular donor since 2023
★★★★★

“We had 300 children at the school and no budget for kits. They came, counted, and came back two weeks later with 300 kits. No conditions, no banner-holding ceremony demanded.”

Bhavesh RathodHead Teacher, government primary school
★★★★★

“I sponsored a day of meals for my father’s punyatithi. Two hundred and eleven people ate that day. My mother cried when she saw the photographs. It has become our annual ritual.”

Straight answers

The things donors actually ask us

Yes. Shree Sneh Foundation holds 80G approval, and every donation receives a numbered receipt carrying our 80G registration number and trust PAN. Under section 80G(5)(vi) you can typically claim a deduction of 50% of the donated amount, subject to the qualifying limits in your own return. Use the 80G calculator on our Donate page to see what that means for your tax slab.
Within seven working days of the amount reflecting in our bank account. If you have not received it by then, send one WhatsApp message and a trustee will personally chase it. You should never have to ask twice.
You can, but please do not, for amounts above ₹2,000. Under the Income Tax Act a cash donation above ₹2,000 does not qualify for your 80G deduction. UPI, bank transfer or cheque protects your deduction and gives both of us a clean record.
Yes, and we encourage it. Nominate a programme when you give and we apply your donation to that programme and track it separately. If that programme happens to be fully funded already, we will contact you before applying it anywhere else — we will not quietly move it.
₹35. That is one hot, full meal for one child. We have supporters who give ₹100 a month and supporters who give ₹1 lakh at a time, and both are treated with the same seriousness.
No. We send you the receipt, we send you photographs of the distribution your money funded, and that is it. There is no call centre. There is no retention team. If you want to hear from us more often, you have to tell us.
Yes — and you can stop it with a single WhatsApp message, with no notice period and no questions asked. We deliberately do not use auto-debit mandates that are hard to cancel.
Only if we hold current FCRA registration — our status is listed in the compliance details in the footer. If you are an NRI donating from an Indian bank account or an NRO account, that is treated as a domestic donation and is straightforward.
Across 46 villages and urban settlements, concentrated around our base so that we can return to the same communities repeatedly rather than doing one-off visits. Consistency is the whole point — a child who is fed once has not been helped.
Our own volunteers. The same people who cook it, pack it and carry it also hand it over. We do not use distribution contractors, and we do not sub-contract to another organisation.
Through the people who already know: government school teachers, anganwadi workers, shelter supervisors and community elders. They tell us who is missing school, who is skipping meals, which elder has nobody. We verify, then we act.
Because they are the only photographs we have. Every image on this website comes from our own distributions. We do not buy stock photography of Indian children, and we think organisations that do should say so.
Yes, and so do the adults responsible for them. We photograph with the knowledge of the school, shelter or community leader present, we never publish a child's full name alongside their school and photograph, and we remove any image permanently on request without argument.
There is rarely a surplus, because we count before we cook. When there is, it goes to the next community on the same day — never stored, never resold, never carried over to be photographed again.
Because we would rather do four things properly than fourteen things for a brochure. When we can genuinely sustain a fifth, we will add a fifth.
Please do. Send us a message and we will tell you where the next distribution is. Donors who have stood in a queue handing out plates rarely need convincing again.
Most of our volunteers do. Field distributions are deliberately scheduled on weekends and evenings. One Sunday a month is genuinely useful to us — please do not talk yourself out of it because you cannot give more.
Yes, from 16 upwards, with a parent's written consent for anyone under 18. Students are never placed alone with children and always work alongside an experienced volunteer.
Yes, and it is one of the most effective things a CSR team can do. We will plan a distribution around your team size, handle the community coordination, and give you photographs and a utilisation report afterwards.
A written proposal with per-unit costs and target numbers, a delivery schedule, photographic documentation of each distribution, a utilisation certificate and the 80G paperwork your finance team will ask for. We are used to answering to a board.
Our registration particulars, including CSR-1 status where applicable, are published in the compliance strip at the bottom of every page. If your legal team needs certified copies, ask and we will send them the same day.
Yes. Programmes can be sponsored wholly or by location — for example, all school kits in a given cluster of schools. We are happy for you to be named, and equally happy for you to remain anonymous.
It depends entirely on the goods. Clean, usable clothing, new blankets, books, stationery and dry ration are genuinely useful. Torn clothes and expired food are not a donation, they are a disposal cost transferred to us — please do not send them.
Yes, for anyone who has completed meaningful field hours with us. We will not issue a certificate for a single photo-opportunity visit, and we would rather lose the volunteer than sign something untrue.
