Visamo Kids Foundation (VKF), an Ahmedabad based NGO, works towards providing free education to poor children coming from underprivileged(under poverty line) families from all over Gujarat.
Visamo, a truly sustainable, fresh, vital and dynamic initiative, started off with 18 underprivileged children from the poorest of the poor families from earth quake affected regions of Gujarat. Since its inception in 2002, soon after the massive earthquake that shook the whole of Gujarat, VKF has focused on working towards empowering lives by facilitating access to quality education and secured environment to the underprivileged children of Gujarat.
“Visamo Kids Foundation” (VKF) provides an empowering environment where children can “dare to dream”, “fulfill aspirations” and get basic facilities viz. shelter; food; clothing & education in order to reach up to their desired future.
In the formative stage, Visamo liaised with NGOs operating at grass root levels, to identify kids across the State and with the premium English medium schools for admission of Visamokids. The response was encouraging, with several schools stepping ahead to partner with VKF and offer free quality education. Some of the schools, apart from providing free education, also supported the cost of transport, uniform, books, stationery and even educational tour & picnic. The third important partner was the community at large, comprising of the volunteers, donors, sponsors, well wishers and friends of Visamo. They contributed their time and resources to contribute towards the noble cause. The tripartite form of partnership of Visamo with NGOs, schools and community transformed an institution into an alive organization, throbbing with life, smiles and excitement that paved way to building lives and life stories.
