According to United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), India has 29.6 million orphaned and abandoned children living within its borders. About 60 million Indian
children under age 6 live below the poverty level, leading many of them to become one of India's 17 million child laborers, more than any other country in the world. Additionally, over 232,937 children live in institutions, which many experts feel is significantly underreported, could be much higher.
Our AIM Foundation helps provide these kids, who would otherwise have no formal education, with teacher lead instruction in a social class environment. Not only does this provide education, but it also offers a piece of normalcy in otherwise troubled lives. ⠀

By giving the orphan population basic knowledge and an opportunity to learn proper social skills, we significantly improve their chance of being successful as adults. Our AIM has helped over 60,000+ orphans in India to date, with schools continuing to operate daily.
