The start of one’s responsibility towards humanity.

Udai (Universal Development & Inspiration) Foundation is an NGO working with underprivileged children and their communities since 2015.

Why “Udai”?

Udai (उदय) means sunrise — the rising. It stands for Universal Development & Inspiration, and for the belief that every child, however difficult their start, deserves a new dawn.

Our main aim is to extend help and guidance to the real underprivileged — giving them assistance and support to learn, earn and grow.

Since 2015 that has meant free schooling and books for children, health check-up camps, food and ration drives, and environment drives with volunteers and school children — all shared on our Facebook page.
