PROJECTS & IMPACT

As a 100% volunteer run organization, we have no paid employees. We aim to keep administrative and overhead costs to a minimum (~1%), and have been lucky enough to have donors/sponsors cover many of those costs. 

Sahaita encourages all donors to visit our project sites in India. Please email info@sahaita.org to coordinate.

Sahaita does not facilitate adoptions and has no visibility into adoption processes. However, Bal Ghar (an orphanage in Ludhiana that Sahaita supports) is a CARA-approved adoption agency through the Swami Ganga Nand Bhuriwale International Foundation. Please direct all Bal Ghar adoption related inquiries to Kuldip S. Mann of Bal Ghar.
