The purpose of Seedling Foundation is to sow seeds of transformation in the lives of anyone that it touches, staying true to the tagline! Currently, our work is mainly focused at the Dongri Children’s Home in Mumbai, with Children in Conflict with Law (CCL). Their age varies from about 14 years to 22 years, majority falling between 16 to 19 years. Some of them are above 18 since their term is still ongoing but their offence took place when they were under 18 years. Our aim is to create a fertile ground for these children at risk, where inner purification can take place. The effort is to enhance the lives of children by providing opportunities for personal growth through everyday activities and programs. We hope to transform the atmosphere of the home to one that fosters learning, growth, and peace, thereby not just impacting the lives of the children, but also the staff that works at the Children’s Home. While we do not address legal aspects or policy issues related to the children, we focus on providing positive interventions to help them develop values and experiences that can transform their lives.

Our founder, Karan, spent three months working at the Dongri Children’s Home with another NGO and recognized the challenges faced by the existing organizations. He then volunteered independently for over a year and saw immense potential to help improve the quality of life of the children and to sow seeds of transformation in them. Seedling Foundation was born on 1st November, 2023, out of this desire to make a difference.

Our approach involves all-rounded interventions in key areas such as: 

1. Mental Health
2. Physical Environment
3. Value Education and Basic Education
4. Physical Activities
5. Sensitization
6. Research and Data Analysis

We believe that by working on these areas with the right intention and a motivated team, we can positively impact the lives of many children. Our ultimate aim is to create a peaceful and happier home environment that will empower the children to become better individuals, reintegrate into society, and contribute to making society a more harmonious place.

Join us in our journey to make a difference in the lives of these children and create a brighter future for them.
