HWA Charitable Foundation
If you help a fellow being on earth, you will be helped by He who is in the heavenAbout HWA Charitable Foundation
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.
