What Nanhi Udaan does

Nanhi Udaan is a non-profit society registered under the Haryana Societies Act (Regn. No. HR-019-2021-02029), founded in Faridabad, India, after its dream was conceptualized in February 2019 and formally registered in 2021. The organization operates six social-service programs under the umbrella "Dream for a better India" positioning: Project Dream India (education for ~300 underprivileged children at Sector 11 Park and Ballabhgarh), Project Annapurna (nutrition support for ~100 families and a weekly Rs. 5 lunch stall serving 150-200 people at Old Traffic red light, Faridabad), Women's Vocational Training in stitching and tailoring (for women from ~100 families), Project Environment (monthly cleanliness drives and 100+ saplings planted), Project Prayas (daily feeding and injury treatment of stray animals), and Project Catalyst (student talent enhancement).

The organization runs on a fully volunteer-driven operating model with an 11-member managing committee and an extended volunteer pool of teachers, homemakers, students, engineers, and other professionals. There is no proprietary technology platform; the digital footprint is a WordPress-hosted website plus Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube accounts used for awareness, volunteer recruitment, and donation processing. Funding comes from online donations via the website's payment gateway, a nominal Rs. 5 voluntary contribution at the weekly food stall, and in-kind/cash scholarship support from partners including the Rotary Clubs of Faridabad Tulip and Faridabad Aastha, Protsahan Club, and O My Game (Ardee Mall, Gurugram). All services to beneficiaries are free; the entity is not structured for commercial revenue generation and operates as a community-led, event-driven non-profit.
