“No religion is higher than humanity.” Educating and caring for children who need it most.
About Us
Light of Human Welfare Society (LOHWS) was founded on 26 January 2016 by Mr. Santosh Paraste with a small group of friends, driven by a passion to change society today and build a better India for tomorrow. We give youngsters a platform to serve, and bridge the gap between the educated and the underserved.
Our volunteers educate and mentor children from orphanages, slums and village community centres, and support their health and wellbeing — giving them a brighter future. The learning is mutual: our volunteers grow into tomorrow's leaders.
See our workWhat We Do
Two missions, one goal — a dignified future for every child.
We teach and mentor children from orphanages, slums and village centres — building literacy, confidence and life skills.
We support health awareness, check-up drives and basic care for underserved children and their families.
We give young volunteers a platform to give back — turning small acts of service into lasting community impact.
