We like to discuss issues relevant to the projects in India, organize awareness talks by social activists workers, and create a forum for creating greater awareness about pertinent issues in India.
We also organize fundraisers to support our projects over the year. |
About AID BostonAID Boston works to increase promote awareness about the issues and problems that affect the underprivileged. Many of these problems like poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, disease, social inequalities, corruption and the dwindling of natural resources reinforce one another.
They affect not only the poor and the weak but ALL OF US. So we support projects run by our partner NGOs in India that are working on sustainable grass-root level solutions to these problems. Our volunteers work on fundraising ideas, help review project proposals, initiate and provide support for projects, review and monitor progress of projects, campaigns and other activities of AID. Volunteers also have the option to visit project areas during their trip to India, share their experience of AID's work in villages with the NRI community, during community events and participate in relevant campaigns from the US and in India. We also provide volunteer opportunities with our partner organizations to interested volunteers. |

To know a detailed history of how the organization was formed, read an account by one of our founder members, Ravi Kuchimanchi.
