Programs described in its return (7)

(Expenses $ 40,468 including grants of $ 40,468) Save the Girl: Our Save the Girl program helps support families who are not financially able to send their daughters to school. This program removes the economic burden of education so that underpriviledged families are able to send their girls to school.

(Expenses $ 23,568 including grants of $ 23,568) The Boys Home & The Girls Home: Our Boys and Girls Homes provide a safe home for children who are orphaned or whose parents cannot afford to take care of them.
