Ensure a Happy Life of Child and Women with Sakshi NGO
SAKSHI’s work with the marginalized and underprivileged communities is focused on helping them achieve socio-economic independence, self-sustainability, and health. SAKSHI’s projects are aimed at holistic support to the community by providing Education, Mid-Day Meal program, and Health services to the Children in underprivileged areas of Delhi NCR, thus mainstreaming marginalized street children, making low-literate youth employable and empowering women. We help those in need with full respect, love and commitment, with the aim not to deliver charity but to empower them to better their own lot.
Recognized as the best NGO in Delhi NCR, Sakshi operates 120 centers in marginalized communities, providing essential services such as education, mid-day meals, and healthcare. We empower the underprivileged not through charity, but through respect, love, and commitment. Our unique model ensures that over 90% of the funding directly benefits the beneficiaries, thanks to our efficient allocation and low overhead costs.
Partnering with international, and national organizations, and corporations, Sakshi extends its reach to the outermost areas of the NCR, ensuring our services touch the lives of those in need. With a focus on water and sanitation, we are making strides as the best NGO in Gurgaon region, enabling countless families to break the cycle of poverty.
How we Work
Sakshi NGO spends more than 90% of the funding it receives directly on its projects for the children and communities building schools and toilets, buying books and medicines etc. As a leading childcare NGO in India, we work across multiple centres in Delhi NCR, opened and supported childcare creche, skill centres, and schools. Also, we have very low overhead costs because executive functions are carried out pro bono by the founding family. With our striving work, we are awarded as the Best Childcare NGO in India.
Over the last two decades, Sakshi executives’ combined expertise in medicine, education and management, dedication to giving back to the less fortunate and ability to spark the same passion in others and have them sign up for the cause, has led Sakshi to scale ever greater heights. Over the past years, we have extended our work to the outermost areas of the NCR and now have ensured that the underprivileged communities can be reached by our social worker’s best services in Noida and Gurgaon, with our work being acknowledged by our beneficiaries and our peers as among the best NGO in Noida advocating rights of girl children, water sanitation, workplace ethics etc.
Education, Health, Child Development, Water & Sanitation, Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality, are all major importance in the community and the basic building block in any effort towards these goals is Education for all.
We believe the Trifecta of Education, Health and Community Development are interrelated and together is the only way to make a sustainable and impactful difference in the beneficiary population i.e. underprivileged children and women.
