The Sakthi Foundation is a non profit U.S. organization, tax

for more details.
Below are a few
of our projects.
1. Mother and Child
project.
Sakthi Foundation extends its charity work to an important mother/baby
health project in Indonesia. This is the Yayasan Bumi Sehat (Healthy
Mother Earth) foundation of world-famous midwife Robin Lim. Robin's
organization was named the #1 NGO of Bali, chosen first among 700 others
in 2007. Robin has received the prestigious Alexander Langer award from
members of the Italian Parliament for her service to the world. See her
website
www.bumisehatbali.org or the US
volunteer website
www.robinlimsupport.org for
more details. To learn more about Sakthi's relationship to Robin and to donate towards her work-

2. Orphaned Children
College Education.
Most of the orphanages in India
support children till age of 17 or 18. When they leave the orphanage,
most of these children have very good academic performance--but at this
point all government aid or support for them ceases. The Sakthi
Foundation now sponsors a college education for some of these children.

3. Child
Support.
In 2003 we gave one nine
year old child who has paralyzed legs who crawl every day to his school.
Sakthi Foundation through the help of noble hearts have helped to get
this kid a wheel chair and the kid is relieved from painful crawling to
go to school. Please

In 2005 onwards we have promised

Compassion
A vision is to give
homeless people, destitute people and people that need healing of all
backgrounds, as well as persons of extremely low incomes an opportunity
to live, heal, grow, be loved and love as well as become self-sufficient
in a self sustained community based home set in the beautiful
surroundings of nature.
