Event Overview
The first step of our outreach journey.
Marking the beginning of our outreach journey, the Ananth Sarth Seva Foundation organized its inaugural support drive at Shanti Daan, run by the Missionaries of Charity. The initiative was dedicated to addressing immediate daily needs, providing tangible relief, and spending quality time with the residents.
Witnessing firsthand the selfless dedication of the caregivers at Shanti Daan reinforced our core mission: to stand beside vulnerable communities through purposeful, direct action. This initiative marks the first of many steps toward creating meaningful, lasting impact.
