SUPPORT - A - CHILD PROGRAM OF VHP -
AN OVERVIEW:
The SUPPORT-A-CHILD Program of VHP, now in NINTH Year, has reached a new
milestone, of Serving over 500 Children in Sixteen (16) states of
India. This unique Selfless service of needy children of the
society started in 1985 with inspiration from Shri Vishnupuriji
Maharaj of Parmarth Sadhak Sangh, Calcutta, India. In a short
span of seven years many families from the USA are offering funds
on a regular basis. These children are being supported on a long
term basis at various facilities throughout India. We have
rendered support to needy children through well established
organizations working in the field of child support.
LONG TERM COMMITTED SERVICE: Support -A- Child Program of
Parishad believes in serving through well established reputed
organizations. Long term support of children over the short term
aid to some students has been the Key factor of this program.
Parishad emphasizes a wholesome and loving yet disciplined
atmosphere for the process of development of these children. The
management cost is a bare minimum, presently at a level of less
then TWO(2) Percent.
Support-a-child programs are handled through a National office in
Delaware for the coordination and accounting. In past TWO Years
alone, an aggregate commitment of well over $250,000 for these
children has been accepted. We have already collected and
distributed funds in excess of $64,000 in the past
Eight (8) years. Here is a snap shot of our services:
