Education, personality development and soft skills training for young underprivileged children has been our core competence since 2007. Udaan actively supports educational programs for underprivileged children in our Saksham Community Centre, Schools and Children’s Homes. Some of our successful projects/events include Computer Education through its State of the Art Technology Centres, Saksham Gyanganga, Saksham Kilkari, Udaan Edufests, Udaan Vigyan Ki, and Udaan Day Care Centre.

We also impart computer education to Senior Citizens and Women.Underprivileged women enhance their skills through tailoring, paper bag making and personality development classes under Saksham Tejaswini.

Wanting to contribute for social causes in our home country was something that I and my like-minded friends wanted to do. Of many NGOs we contacted for the donation of educational aids, we found Dr Luniya’s Udaan Welfare Foundation the most professional. A visit to Saksham Community Centre reinforced our trust that this was an NGO who was really making a difference in the lives of less privileged children and women. It was inspiring to see highly qualified professionals like Dr Luniya and their team dedicate their time every day enthusiastically and untiringly towards various educational and empowerment initiatives. Hearty Congratulation and best wishes! Archana Pradhan, Dubai

Mrs. Magade was introduced to Udaan when she first visited the Saksham Community Centre to get her daughter’s eye checkup done. She learnt more about Udaan, the facilities and the various services that Saksham provided. Impressed by their work Mrs. Magade who has a post-graduate in M.A. (History) and 10 years of teaching experience in the field of computers, decided to take up the post of teacher at Saksham’s Technology Centre. Since April 2018 she has been at Saksham, teaching Corel Draw, Photoshop and Tally. She really enjoys working here and receives great responses from her students. The consistent improvement in their learning reinforces her confidence in the children’s abilities and her own capabilities to do better.

I am working since 2013 on behalf of NGO Udaan Welfare Foundation at the Technology Centre in Ma Niketan. I thank the President of Udaan Welfare Foundation Dr. Anil K. Luniya and all Udaan members for all their generosity and starting the computer lab in Ma Niketan to impart knowledge to the lesser privileged girls through technology.

I am a part-time dentist and full-time public health enthusiast. The health of the population has been one of the most important driving forces of my life. And Udaan’s work in healthcare along with the overall welfare of individuals and communities had motivated me to become part of this wonderful organisation. I have conducted oral health talks for women and children in an attempt to improve their awareness about the importance of good oral hygiene.

I am postgraduate in International Marketing. Udaan is a place where you can explore yourself and be free to use your creative space. I have loved working with Udaan, it has given me a space to find myself. We did put a stall to raise funds for Udaan and helped in organising children’s day celebrations. We even organised a mini Edufest independently for boys and was a great experience.

Over the past year (2018), I have been helping the participants of the Saksham Tejaswini project with Digital Literacy and teaching them how Mobile and Internet services can help them in their daily lives. Every batch at Saksham Tejaswini brings new eager participants who identify themselves with various roles. Some are mothers, some housewives, some breadwinners and some eager students. Over the course of the many classes and sessions, they participate in and through an atmosphere that teaches the importance of self-empowerment they are given a chance to view themselves as just - themselves. It has been a privilege to be part of such a progressive endeavour.

We the students of Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication, Pune interned with Udaan Welfare Foundation for a period of 15 days in November 2019. Our experience of working here was extremely enriching for each one of us. Seeing the empowering work that is being carried out at Saksham Community Centre was extremely enlightening and showed us there are no limits if one wants to help those around. Seeing the enthusiastic children and determined women working hard despite their struggles in life has motivated us to strive towards our dreams. We were warmly treated by everyone at Udaan from Dr. Anil Luniya Sir, all members, faculties, and all other volunteers present. Ultimately, it has been a privilege to have got the opportunity to work here and we hope our services were helpful to the organisation -
