Mera Desh Foundation

It is a voluntary organization founded by likeminded professionals committed to the cause of humanitarian and environmental concerns.

At Mera Desh emphasis is given to help those sections of society who are socially marginalized, economically deprived and traditionally discriminated against. This movement endeavors to provide to the common man / people with basic social and economic opportunities for them to stand on their feet with dignity. We also take up issues that concern the environment, wildlife and to which human beings are inextricably linked.

We fight for children’s rights to get a decent education and have access to basic health care facilities. For the environment we focus on issues of environmental degradation, for natural
