FOUNDER
Mr. Suryakant Kulkarni
During extensive research on the under-privileged areas of Maharashtra, SEDT led to concentrate on the Kerwadi village in Parbhani District. At the time of this experience, we noticed that the community we came across lacked the necessities of life and education. Also, there is a vast difference between observing fast and willingly remaining hungry due to the lack of food. We couldn’t turn a blind eye to the circumstances this part of the society was living in. And so, a notion kept us thinking about what measures we could take to help this underprivileged section of our community lead a better life.
We were confident of our goal – to contribute to the upbringing of homeless children, provide the homeless a haven, and help them live a life with opportunities to build their dreams. There are destitute children all over the world; it is a problem that is evident in developing and under-developed societies. Like most developing countries, India faces this same problem and many more connected issues like child labor, girl-child trafficking, malnourishment, and much more.
