Building local foundations for a stronger community
Imagine a life. Shrink it to ten years, remove the
father, cross out the relatives, take away the school,
leave no trace of toys, make food and clothes scare, and
paint the background with lurid colours of anger, fear
and hopelessness.
What you have just imagined actually exists.
When we found that life, in its most diagreeable forms,
continues to weigh down the young souls, we decided
to throw it a challenge and redeem from it a child’s
pleasures. With the kind and generous help of innumerable
donors and patrons, Gur Aasra Trust intervenes between
innocent children and their inhospitable lives.
Our aim is not merely to provide help to all these
children, but also inculcate in them a spirit of self-enterprise.
We provide them care and facilities so that when they
grow up they are self-dependant and do not need anyone’s
help. The care of children by the trust includes strong
components of spiritual and religious training and sports.
In both the fields, the children have brought laurels
for the trust.
By the dint of conviction, commitment and hard work,
Gur Aasra Trust has earned a name for charitable work.
Appreciative of the trust’s endeavours, a number of
prominent educational institutions in Chandigarh and
Mohali have come forward to provide sponsorships for
many children.
All Donations to the Trust are exempted
from income tax under Section 80G(5) of
Income Tax Act. The Trust also accepts donations in kind.
