About SSFA
SSFA is a registered NGO under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.
SSFA was founded on 4th May 2011 and is indulged in the fields of Education, Vocational training, Health and Community development which we believe are the key areas to make a sustainable impact in the society.
We do everything from mainstreaming the marginalized children, making low-literate youth employable, providing educational aid and health services to the needy to empowering women and to aware them about their rights in the society.
SSFA is a grassroots level NGO providing services spanning the development in areas of Education, Vocational Training, Health and Community Development and thus able to provide a comprehensive path from poverty to prosperity and fully empower the destitute to tread it successfully.
SSFA is indulged in the fields of Education, Vocational Training, Health and Community Development which we believe are the areas of greatest need and deserve to be the foci of our attention. We believe that these are inter-related fields and together the only way to make a sustainable and impactful difference in the beneficiary population.
We work for the upliftment of the poor and destitute by helping them achieve socio-economic independence, self-sustainability and health. We do everything from providing educational and health services to the needy, mainstreaming marginalized street children, making low-literate youth employable and empowering women. We help those in need with full respect, love and commitment, with the aim to not deliver charity but to empower them to better their own lot.
Projects
SSFA’s Mission is to empower needy children and Women to break the Vicious Cycle of Poverty where poverty spawns problems of malnourishment and mortality while lack of education ensures children follow in their parents’ footsteps scraping a daily existence as manual labor or rag pickers.
We believe the best way is by equipping the needy with health, education and employable skills so they attain socio-economic independence and become responsible citizens of society. Our several projects in Health, Education and Community Development are inter-related and together provide a once-forgotten child or community a comprehensive road from poverty to prosperity.
Education: SSFA’s Mission is Universal Education & Full Employability.
Education is a child’s right and need. We believe Education:
mainstreams a marginalized child, enlarging her world view, giving her confidence to chart her own destiny.
must confer the ability to earn a dependable livelihood as an adult
SSFA's several Education projects cover the spectrum of ages and development needs with the goals to:
- take care of pre-schoolers with day labor parents who work every day.
- mainstream marginalized street children.
- provide vocational training and thus a livelihood to low-literate youth.
Awareness Program
- It is unfortunate that in India where ‘Naari’ is considered a Goddess, many women are not even treated as human beings. The women in our country face violence, rape, and harassment in some way or another, either at home or outside. Every day, we have to read or hear those horrible things happened to women in some part of our country in the news.
- Our Society believes that one of the major reasons behind this persistent issue is the lack of awareness in women towards their rights, especially the women living in rural areas. They can’t access the several schemes and programmes developed by the government because of the lack of information or awareness.
- Due to the lack of awareness, they cannot really take a stand for themselves or their children and often feel helpless. Thus, to take a step towards spreading the proper awareness, we invited Adv. Radha Singh, to give a seminar on Women Empowerment and Domestic Violence where she informed the women and the girls about their rights and how they can actually use them if need be.

How You Can Help
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
The best way you can help make the world a better place is by living a life of compassion and providing a helping hand at the moment a need or opportunity presents itself as you go about your daily life.
Examples include diverse things like distributing alms on your birthday at temples and dargahs, giving blankets in winter to the homeless, helping your servants’ children get an education, feeding free animals in your colony, standing up for a girl being harassed, taking care of your aging parents, giving your children the right values and limitless other opportunities. Even something as small as taking a reusable water bottle from home instead of buying plastic outside because it shows compasssion for the earth that sustains you.
True compassion knows no boundaries and does not wait for a set time but flows naturally and perpetually. It is not a part of life, it is a way of life and brings as much and possiby more joy to the giver as to the receiver. And if everyone utilized even a few of the many opportunities that come our way to be compassionate, they would all add up to the extent that we would probably not even need NGO’s any longer.
श्रोत्रं श्रुतेनैव न कुण्डलेन दानेन पाणिर्न तु कंकणेन |
विभाति काय: करूणापराणाम् परोपकारैर्न तु चंदनेन ||
The ear is fulfilled when used for gaining knowledge than (only) wearing earrings. The hand is fulfilled when used for giving than (only) wearing bangles. Similarly, the body is fulfilled when used for doing good than (only) wearing beautifying creams.

If, in addition to impacting your own individual world, you wish to also participate in our work, you are welcome to do so and can read about various ways below.
SSFA spends over 90% of the funding it receives directly on the projects for the children and communities setting up schools, buying books and medicines, building toilets etc. Average for other NGO’s is 40%-60%. We have low overhead costs because:
- We are a grassroots organization with our own centres so we can directly funnel the funds where they are needed without any other intermediary organization layer.
- Our Executive and Board Leadership are well-established professionals in their fields of medicine and business. They work pro bono for SSFA and are in fact major donors to SSFA covering main overheads like HQ rent and other costs themselves.
Ways You Can Help:
- Sponsor an education centre, health program or community development initiative: Early Childhood Care and Development Centre, Non-Formal Education Centre, Remedial Centre, Library, Vocational Training Centre, Toilet, Community Health Camp, Children’s Lunches and Health Check-Up.
- Donate in Kind: Medicines, meals, uniforms, books, office equipment, computers for our vocational training centre, or toys.
- Volunteer your expertise: Only project field staff is paid at SSFA. Everything else is done pro bono. If you are good at something, let us know, we will probably have a use for it. A teacher, website designers, writers, editors, photographers, secretarial assistants, everyone from all over the world with something to share is welcome.
