education
Concern believes investing in education transforms communities, countries and the entire world. We work towards impacting the lives of underprivileged children through scholarships (higher and professional education), digital and STEM, enhancing school infrastructure, imparting life skills and most importantly girl child education.
Health
Concern works in preventive, curative and rehabilitative healthcare programmes covering community-based health interventions, malnutrition, children in need of special care, maternal and child health, WASH, adolescent/youth reproductive awareness, strengthening infrastructure of hospitals and health centres.
Community Development
We support community development initiatives that enable self-reliance and progressive development. Our focus is mangroves restoration, watershed management, elderly care, programs working in disabilities and renewable energy. A crucial area of impact is livelihoods for women, vocational training and rural sanitation.

Touching Lives across Thematic Engagement
FY 2023-24
![In today’s world, what does a school without a lab or electricity or a computer amount to? No opportunities.
Our belief in setting up sustainable and state-of-the-art schools meant that we addressed the smallest and largest needs of students to ensure a holistic learning experience, providing access to schools that were on par with their counterparts in urban spaces.
Here’s what we did across India:
* Solar Power: On-grid systems in 7 schools (Mumbai & Palghar), off-grid setup in 1 Ashramshala (Dahanu) with 5 street lights for safety & water access
* Smart Classrooms: 40 schools in Kadappa, AP, powered by solar for uninterrupted tech-based learning
* Robotics Lab: First-ever for 350 low-income students in Bangalore
* Inclusive Education: 1,000 visually impaired students at NAB Mumbai now have an upgraded, accessible school
* Green Initiatives: Project Green Tech Buddies (organic farming for students) & Solar Harvests Project (empowering local farmers for better school nutrition)
* Infrastructure Upgrades: 7 Anganwadis & 1 school renovated in Telangana to boost enrollment
We build schools that educate, empower, and inspire!

From lively drawing and coloring sessions to soulful performances and a mesmerizing magic show, the kids were glowing with excitement and creativity.
A huge shout-out to young changemaker Nitya Himatasingka, whose passion and commitment brought this entire event to life. Not only did she raise the funds to make it happen, but she also dove right into the experience, engaging with the children, encouraging them, and sharing in their joy through art, music, and dance.
The energy was infectious, the smiles were endless, and the impact was unforgettable. Many parents asked us to do more of these — and we certainly will, with inspiring young leaders like Nitya by our side!

The plain, boring walls were gone. The walls now narrate stories, the water cycle swirling in blues and whites, planets of the solar system floating in orbit, and the mighty forts of Raigad rising in earthy browns, telling tales of bravery and history.
Numbers and alphabets weren’t just written on the board anymore; they twirled in bright hues on the walls. The classrooms of Zilla Parishad School of Kanchangaon, Maharashtra, felt alive, and so did the children.
Art does more than decorate walls; it inspires minds, fuels imagination and motivates every child to dream bigger. Through these vibrant classrooms, Concern India Foundation has created more than just a place to study — they've created a space to believe, belong, and become.

![Imagine a hospital without an oxygen cylinder, a public health center without a trained nurse,
or managing an emergency without an ambulance.
For many low-income communities across Maharashtra and Karnataka, this has been an
everyday reality—where access to basic healthcare is a challenge, traditional home remedies are
the only option, and timely medical support is almost nonexistent.
At Concern India Foundation, we believe that building healthier communities starts with
strengthening both infrastructure and healthcare providers. With Public Health Centres (PHCs)
as the backbone of our efforts, our focus this year has been to enhance these centers to
provide sustainable and comprehensive healthcare.
From equipping PHCs with essential medical devices like X-ray and ECG machines to
supplementing non-medical infrastructure like solar electrification, we have worked tirelessly to
bridge critical gaps in healthcare delivery.
We’ve also:
✅ Trained local healthcare providers
✅ Donated state-of-the-art ambulances and wheelchairs
✅ Renovated and refurbished deteriorating healthcare centers
✅ Strengthened emergency response systems
The result- 84,484 lives transformed—people who now sleep peacefully, knowing that healthcare is no longer a distant dream but a reality within reach.

![Today, safety has many facets—personal safety, road safety and cybersecurity—which are crucial, especially for children. Concern India Foundation, with support from AWS, has been working with Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) schools to run the ‘Suraksha’ programme for the past four years, having reached out to over 14,000 students across 23 schools on various topics related to safety, security and personal hygiene.
As a culmination of these school sessions each year, creative activities are planned to help children assimilate and confidently share their learning. This year, the Suraksha programme reached out to 6 schools and over 2900 children, out of which 5 schools and 200 children showcased their learning through the final event. These students engaged with the theme and demonstrated engaging skits and street plays.
Each school presented creative performances that effectively conveyed their messages and learnings. The event was further enriched by insights from Ms. Aruna Yadav, Education Officer, NMMC, who shared her experiences of being a theater artist as well as her passion towards education with the students. Teachers worked tirelessly to train the students, and their efforts were evident in the children's confident and enthusiastic performances.
This grand finale was not just a competition but a celebration of awareness, creativity, and empowerment. It reinforced the importance of safety in every aspect of life and highlighted how young minds, when guided well, can become powerful advocates for change. As these children return to their schools and communities, they carry with them the confidence, knowledge, and responsibility to create a safer future for all.
