Who we are ?
Working among migrants, abused women, neglected children and senior citizens.
Vrushahi Foundation is a non-profit NGO established under society Registration Act, 1860 (Registration No: Maharashtra/349/2017).
Vrushahi Foundation was established by a team of social workers who are working in the field of health, education, sustainability, vocational training, empowering women and child development.
