About us
Rajalakshmi Children Foundation, established in early 2013, is a non-profit organization working for the health, education and overall development of underprivileged children. We are primarily working with government schools, where most of the children come from economically and socially disadvantaged families. Although our geographic reach, as of today, is limited to the north-western part of Karnataka, our focussed, depth-oriented effort with personal touch is showing highly promising results.
