India · Atlanta · Pakistan

Lasting change,built by hand.

Charity 4 All began with one boy, his grandmother, and a simple promise to help families for the long term, not just for a day. What started in a single Indian village has grown into the work of our whole family, reaching from India to Atlanta and now to a school in Pakistan. Carts, sewing machines, food, masks, and schoolbooks, all given person to person.

Where we work

A promise that crossed oceans.

From a single village near Bangalore to shelters in Atlanta and a school in Peshawar, this is where our family has shown up, and where we are headed next.

Peshawar, Pakistan What we're working on now

A fresh start for a school in Peshawar.

This is our newest project, and our first in Pakistan. We came to this school through my father-in-law, who has taught there for nearly twenty years, so this one is close to our hearts. Right now the basics are broken. The water isn't safe to drink, the classrooms have no working power against the heat, the bathrooms are falling apart, and some children can't afford to stay enrolled.

We're doing this the way our family always has, one honest fix at a time, with every dollar going straight to the work. Here is what we're focused on, and where each part stands today.

Underway

Clean water

The water at the school isn't safe to drink. We've already bought a water cooler and are getting it installed on site.

In progress

Power and heat

The windows and fans are broken and the heat is brutal. We are repairing them so the classrooms are comfortable to learn in again.

Planned

Bathrooms

The bathrooms have fallen into disrepair, and we are planning a full overhaul.

Ongoing

Tuition help

Some families simply can't cover tuition, so we are helping make sure their children can stay in school.

Ongoing

School supplies

The same books, materials, and basics we provide in India, now for the students in Peshawar.

Goal

Technology

There's almost no technology at the school yet. Helping change that is our next goal.

We'll be sharing fresh photos and video from Peshawar soon, so please check back. Help fund this work
Our track record

What our family has built.

Each one started as a small idea in the village and grew into something families count on. Tap through to see them.

Ongoing 2024 to now

Education, the foundation of everything

School supplies for the children of Channapatna, because we believe education changes everything.

Along with our Ramadan drives, we wanted to give the children in the village the supplies they need for the best education possible, the books, materials, and basics that help them learn.

We believe the foundation of prosperity is education, and that lifting it up lifts up everything else in these families' lives. We began this in 2024, it's ongoing, and it's the same belief guiding our work in Peshawar today.

A chapter we're proud of, 2020

When the world shut down, our work crossed an ocean.

When COVID-19 hit, we asked how our work in India could help here at home. The village women were already sewing for hospitals, so with the right materials they could sew protective masks instead.

I researched the fabric, my grandma’s contact bought it and brought it to the families, and the masks were stitched, packaged, and shipped to the US. Then I delivered them by hand to homeless shelters and nursing homes across Atlanta, more than 1,000 in all.

Soon after the AJC article, the International Fund for Economic Development reached out to endorse our work. They later provided funding that went straight toward new sewing machines and carts, and they continue to make a huge difference for Charity 4 All.

Where it all began

It started with my grandmother.

Every time I visit India, I can't help but notice the poverty all around me. I always did little things to help, like giving food or money to people on the street, or helping my cousins however I could.

My grandma always told me to do whatever I can for the poor. I wanted to do something bigger, something that would last. So I gave most of my savings to start this, and brought my family in to reach as many people as we could. Everything you have just seen grew from there.

I wanted to fix these problems for the long term, not with a quick handout, but with something that lasts.
