Appeal for your Support

Soundarya Lahari is a non-profit organization with a charter to Promote spirituality and education and render community services particularly to the poor and needy in our homeland, India.

In the realm of community services, Soundarya Lahari's mission is to adopt a few backward villages in different regions of India , catering to the needs of education, health and the basic well being of the residents of the villages.

As the first step towards this goal, Soundarya Lahari has distributed warm blankets to the homes of a village in Andhra Pradesh. To continue this effort, the organization would like to provide much needed clothing to this and other selected villages in all the states in India

We invite your contribution of clothes that you may have no use for, and stored in your closet/attic/basement. We need clothes for men, women and children, light footwear (not snow shoes or skating shoes), bedclothes, and other items such as spectacle frames.

Please ensure these clothes are washed and folded neatly and packed in Card board boxes ready to be shipped. As soon as you have your boxes ready, please call your nearest Soundarya Lahari volunteer from the list below to collect your contributions.
