HWA Charitable Foundation

If you help a fellow being on earth, you will be helped by He who is in the heaven

About HWA Charitable Foundation

Bangalore, often touted as the IT hub of India, is, nevertheless, not without its slums and alleyways that are inhabited by those living in degrading conditions of poverty.

People with no shelter to accommodate themselves in, with no provision for even two square meals a day, with none to finance their children’s basic education and with neither facilities nor funds to treat their urgent medical condition – all have, more or less, benefited from the efforts of the HWA Charitable Foundation since its inception in 2005.

The HWA Charitable Foundation, which is a grouping of like-minded socially-engaged individuals centred in Bangalore, works with the prime focus on poverty alleviation and upliftment of the underprivileged people. Most, if not all, of these targeted beneficiaries, imply the economically-challenged and often, physically-challenged groups that eke out a living on a low-income or even a no-income livelihood.

Covid Relief Activities

HWA has been in the forefront in the fight against Covid-19 in Bengaluru ,ever since its outbreak.  HWA, as part of Mercy Mission, has supported in the conversion of HBS hospital as a complete Covid care hospital and Al-Ameen Hospital as a 40-bed Covid care hospital.

Elderly support, medicines arrangement, travel guidance for emergency cases and food kits and groceries distribution are covered.
