As I tread through the memory lane, I realise each programme developed due to some trigger, followed by thoughul deliberaon; a moment that could stretch into a life-me; each leaving its imprint on our programmes, each defining and redefining our programmes, in a connuous process. All these moments developed Udayan Care, our potenal, our belief in our volunteers and donors, and it was all because of your unswerving faith in our abilies, our work, and our passion and commitment to the cause! In celebraon of the 20th anniversary of Udayan Care, we would like to share 20 such moments that are milestones, stories, and reflecons of the people, for the people, and by the people we serve. Some of these moments will make you smile, some will come as a hardhing reality, and some will just do both. The one moment that really redefined our approach, and was a milestone for the year 2013-14, was the launch of our academic bi-annual journal Instuonalised Children Exploraons and Beyond, during the two day internaonal seminar “Instuonalised Children: Seminar on Standards of Care and Mental Health”, held in March, 2014; both focussed on South Asian countries. The first iniaves of their kinds, the seminar and the journal focussed on the much neglected issue of the mental health of instuonalised children in South Asian countries, while laying stress upon sharing of best pracces and concerns for children in need of care and protecon. The occasion turned out to be a great plaorm for debate and discussion and was also an inspiring occasion for learning and exchange of ideas on the state of instuonalised children, especially on mental health and how to bridge the gap between policy-makers, academicians, and praconers. While we are gearing up for the coming decades of more focussed and in-depth work, believing in “Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count”, we would like to thank all our Trustees, Advisory Board members, Chapters’ Commiee members, our Mentors and volunteers, supporters, donors, staff, and friends who encouraged us and challenged us to go beyond ourselves. Thanks are also due to every child, every young girl, and every youth in our programmes who rekindle our spark every single day! Dr. Kiran Modi Founder Managing Trustee UDAYAN CARE – OVERVIEW UDAYAN GHARS Sunshine homes that nurture children who are orphaned and abandoned in the warmth of a family • • • • • • • • • Long term residenal homes for orphaned or abandoned children. Founded on the belief that a loving home and a family is the right of every child. Children aged 6–18 years are nurtured through a strategy called L.I.F.E–Living In Family Environment. A 'Group Foster Care' model ensures children are brought up by a group of Mentor Parents–socially commied volunteers, along with a team of social workers and caregivers. The homes are located in busy, middle class neighbourhoods, so children can reintegrate themselves into society. Our children are receiving quality educaon in some of the best educaonal instuons.

UDAYAN CARE REACH CONTENTS MOMENTS 6 YOU 33 UDAYAN CARE EVENTS 34 UDAYAN CARE IN THE NEWS 36 OUR GRATITUDE 38 COMPLIANCE REPORT 46 FINANCIAL REPORT 49 THE UDAYAN CARE FAMILY 52 AT THE OFFICE 54 1 “WILL YOU TAKE ME HOME WITH YOU?” It broke Kiran’s heart when the lile girl, all of 8 years, with her big brown eyes brimming with hope asked this queson. This was the 12th orphanage Kiran had visited in as many emoonally exhausng days. Aer two years of extensive research, Kiran, Udayan Care’s Founder, had embarked on this journey that would culminate in the birth of an iniave that sll remains close to our hearts. During her visits she met children who had no one to call their own but sll nurtured a desperate unfulfilled desire to find a family. She saw youngsters who despite having spent years at the same instuon nurtured no o sense of bonding whatsoever. 6 20 MOMENTS 2013-14 TEST OF TIME 352 boys and girls 13 Udayan Ghars 2 After Care facilities 2013 saw 60 new children join the Udayan Ghar family and an attachment that lasts a lifetime. The task aer this momentous journey was uphill. Nevertheless, aer hours of discussion, debate, and deep thought with her three other founding members, the concept of LIFE: Udayan Ghars (Living In Family Environment) was born, combining the best of the West and the East − the Western foster family system married to the Indian joint family system. Each Udayan Ghar houses 12 children, and is licensed under the Juvenile Jusce Act. It was only when I left for college in another city after 10 ye ars of being home did I realize the tr ue value of my Udayan family. There was the pain of separation, but I knew , this would always be my family and my home. Rani, age 23, now working with an MNC 7 2 A MERRY BAND OF 33 Empty nests. Children that did not have the love of a mother. It was a perfect union and the concept of the Udayan Care mentor mothers and fathers was born. Where wardens patrolled the rooms of children in government homes, and constantly changing staff added to vulnerable children’s insecuries in orphanages around the country, mentor parents were people whose children had le home and yet they had so much to give – their me, their love, and their experience of bringing up children. When the first boys home came up, Udayan Care got its second mentor mom in Madhu Gupta. Slowly the band grew, each giving their lile home its stability and roots and over the last two decades have been tellers of stories of inspiraon, nursed broken adolescent hearts, smiled in pride at first jobs, and brushed away tears whilst giving away a beauful bride that was once a bundle of vulnerability. A lifeme commitment. 8 20 MOMENTS This year, we added two new moms, Ms. Geetanjali Kapoor and Ms. Sunita Sharma, to our family, now a merry band of 33, a raucous, passionate group that meets to learn, share, listen, support, and be a part of a community that oen reminds them of a large joint family. Only this family is transforming lives, most notably their own. THINK ABOUT IT! 37% of India ’s - are childre population - 447 Milli on n, out are orphane of which 31 million d or abando ned . Source- U NIC EF stas cs, 2009 We also lost our first mentor mother this year. Teji Anand was the force behind the third home as she led a group of four other septuagenarians in transforming the lives of over 22 girls in their care since 1999. An educationist and visionary, Teji Aunty remains the spirit behind the mentor mother concept. Tejinder Anand 9 3 “YOU MADE ME BELIEVE…IN ME!” The cornerstone of all Udayan Care programmes is mentoring. Apart from mentor parents, there are senior mentors, who are educaonists, guiding the young women starng their working lives in the Udayan Shalini programme. And most recently, we have introduced mentor didis (sisters), who are college-going girls mentoring the school-going ‘juniors’ as they take their first steps towards academic choices that will help shape their future. The massive potenal of this group of mentors has meant love, guidance, hope, inspiraon, and a desire to give back. We had only dreamt of this, but they have made it happen. This year we added 71 new mentors across programmes. 10 It was my mentor who inspired me to o think that as a first generatio n learner, I could make it to IIM and to th e company my hero, Bill Gates founded. W ell, here I am today, because he believe d, and he made me believe... in me. Smita Verma, a young execut ive at Microsoft, An Udayan Shalini Fellow 20 MOMENTS GAME CHANGER: 4 Deep Kalra, Make My Trip, and The Corporate Mentoring Programme 18 years ago, Deep Kalra, a struggling entrepreneur with a very large vision, tutored kids in Math on weekends at the first Udayan Ghar. With me, his venture Make My Trip grew and his relaonship with Udayan Care went from personal to professional – as a funder, a mentor, and a visionary who introduced Corporate Social Responsibility to his team before it became “CSR”. Our Corporate Mentoring Programme was conceived with the busy corporate execuve profile in mind – so much desire to give and so lile me. So we sent the children to them - one execuve, one child paired at the headquarters of the office to mentor, teach, explore, and build bonds that have lasted a lifeme. The programme piloted at makemytrip.com in 2004. Today, Deep misses teaching the girls Math, but is proud to see his own ‘Trippers’, past and present, celebrang birthdays, weddings, and life with the children they once showed the way. With me, corporates like Computer Sciences Corporaon (CSC), GENPACT, adidas Group, Wipro, Headstrong, GE India, NL Labs, and Transport Corporaon of India Ltd. (TCIL) have also become involved. 11 5 SHE CALLED ME “MAMA” It takes a village to bring up a child they said. Our lile villages (Udayan Ghars) needed stay-at-home love that came in the form of caregivers – people who lived with the children full me. But they came with their own past traumas that had to be turned into strengths. We provide the home, security, and educaon for their own children, but most importantly empower them to believe that caring for children who have seen more pain than most do in a lifeme isn’t a job, it is a calling. THINK ABOUT IT! At 5,693 children per annum, the domestic adoption rate is abysmally low. 12 20 MOMENTS 10 training programmes have been held in 2013-14, performance appraisals have been introduced, and we have had to insist they take days off just to catch a movie and catch their breath in the overwhelming task of caring for a family that has children in double digits. Spontaneous midnight feasts, all-nighters with a sick child, the first me a child called her “mama” – it does take a village and our caregivers are the pradhans (village headmen). NURTURE OVER NATURE – THE STORY OF THE UDAYAN CARE LOGO A mother’s hand protecng and nurturing a wilng bud as it grows into a beauful flower − arst Ajay Zharoa embodied the spirit of Udayan Care in its logo in 1994. Though conceived with a mentor mother-child relaonship in mind, the logo quickly became a sign of comfort and hope to thousands of children, mentors, caregivers, volunteers, and indeed donors. 13 6 INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS: OUR WINDOW TO THE WORLD When Wenka first stepped into our Sant Nagar girlss home in 1996, everything about her was a novelty – her alabaster skin, her blonde hair, her accent, herr clothes, and her stories of growing up in Holland. A decade and 200 internaonal volunteers later, when n Beza came into the children’s lives, her ebony skin,, the calypso-esque lilt in her accent, and her brightly coloured kaan didn’t turn a single head. For our children, she was a window to the world, one that had opened for them through the Udayan Care Internaonal Volunteer Programme. Since 1996, this programme has hosted 1000 volunteers from over 25 countries. With an underlying aim of creang a movement for child rights across the world even as we expose our children to 14 20 MOMENTS cultures and beliefs across that world, 2013-14 has seen the programme travel full circle when four youngsters from Udayan Care visited Australia as our ambassadors, during the second year of the Grow with Wings iniave begun by Kristen Benson, our internaonal volunteer coordinator and didi to her boys from the Gurgaon Home. On their visit, our young ambassadors aended school, saw the sights, and lived in the warmth of the families of Lisa & Richard Lloyd and Charloe Jowe. 1996 ONWARDS TEST OF TIME Our International Volunteer Programme began in 1996 and since then has hosted 25 Countries 1000 Volunteers 15 7 “DON’T TOUCH ME” As the Ghars began to fill up with children that needed a home, we drove to the railway staon to receive a 9 year old abandoned by her family. The police had called. She stood there staring, tracks of dried tears sll visible on her dusty face. “First things first, she needs a hug.” A surprisingly strong push accompanied by a high pitched scream le us staggering and was our first lesson in dealing with a traumazed child. Trust had to be built first, and aachment issues addressed. These children had witnessed unimaginable horror that mere TLC couldn’t take away. Their trauma needed to be addressed by professionals and only a child centric approach could make them whole again. Udayan U dayan Care’s Mental Health Programme was cconceived once on the back of these experiences. H Home om of Hope, a US based non-profit, took tthe he plunge with us and helped pioneer tthe he programme at a me when ‘mental h health’ ea meant being insane. They have b been with us ever since, 14 years on. 16 20 MOMENTS 8 “SHE WON’T STOP CRYING” It was 5pm -the me our lile girls are normally in the park, playing badminton, chasing each other around the swings. But this day was different. “Sonia has been crying incessantly.” This call from the caregiver transformed us into forensic detecves as we tried to reconstruct the aernoon looking for reasons. There had been no injuries, no fights, nothing that could give us a clue. A mentor mother’s visit had yielded nothing, though Sonia had clung to her like a baby monkey and wept inconsolably. And then suddenly the reasoning fell horribly, sadly into place. A cooking gas cylinder had been delivered at 4pm. Upon seeing the red cylinder, Sonia’s memories of watching her father set fire to her mother had come flooding back. 2013-14 TEST OF TIME From its first, tentative steps, the Udayan Ghar Mental Health Programme team 2013-14 consists of Dr Deepak Gupta, psychiatrist, and Dr Monisha Nayar Akhtar, psychotherapist 33 lifetime volunteer mentor parents 42 professionally trained staff & caregivers 2013-14 saw them enrich their lives and those of the children with 34 workshops that have helped create a band of confident young girls and boys. 17 9 HOMELESS… AGAIN Udayan U d C Care promises its children roots, a home and eternal security. We scrimped, saved, raised funds, but we BOUGHT the children’s homes. So they could grow up in the familiarity of neighbourhood sights and smells, so they could be given away as brides from the homes they grew up in, so they could return years later and introduce their children to the shop owner who secretly slipped them candy. But he seemed different − a lifeme donor commied to changing children’s lives. We agreed to a home on lease. It was beauful, everything a lile boy could have wanted, and was soon filled with the laughter of 12 boys, the love of mentors and caregivers. The global economic crisis struck and our donor could be one no more. We had 3 months to find a home for the children. Landlords didn’t want to rent their homes to us; Resident Welfare Associaons discouraged homeowners, worried about their apartment block “values” being eroded. Talks of sending the boys back to government homes filled our hearts with dread. We dug into our reserves, mentors worked relessly, reached out to people like YOU, struggled to change mindsets, and aer a year-long struggle, bought the children their own home in a neighbourhood close to where they had lived. It was a tough lesson. We aimed for a corpus for each home and acvely began advocang inclusion at the community level. Today, of our 13 homes, two belong to mentor mothers, and only four remain on rent. 18 It was a scary time for all of us, to lose our home again, but this time we knew, we’d never lose our family. Mohit, age 15 20 MOMENTS 10 “YOU’RE 18, IT’S TIME TO LEAVE” The law mandates that children over 18 are not allowed to live with minors in the same home. But so many of our boys and girls had come to us totally unleered, some as old as 14. How would they survive on their own at 18, without adequate care and educaon? The Udayan Care Aer Care Programme for 18 – 23 year olds was borne out of necessity. Convergence with the Ghar Programme means career and interest mapping for children from when they are 16 years old. It means customised models of independent living, job placements combined with life skills training, all with the overarching lifeme protecon of the mentor parents. 2013-14 TEST OF TIME 8 young adults joined the After Care Programme in 2013-14, taking our brigade to 35 Young Adults across our own facilities and scattered site housing partially supported by us. 19 11 WEDDINGS AND MARRIAGES – THE TRUE TEST OF INTEGRATION It was when Priya confessed to her mentor mother that she had fallen in love and wanted her to meet his parents that the significance of her past truly hit home. His parents didn’t want him to marry Priya – she was an orphan aer all. What values and bonding could she possibly bring to their family? Hours of discussions at coffee shops led to his parents paying several visits at the home Priya grew up in. Aer spending me with her mentor mothers and siblings, his parents finally saw -she had grown up with 4 mothers and 11 siblings. She was no orphan. And she had values that any family would be proud to bring to their home. 20 20 MOMENTS true The wedding was a dream come bless with so many of you there to I’m a us. My new family may think ce me bit different, but they introdu pride. as their daughter in law with It’s a great feeling! Unfortunately, all our girls’ stories don’t end this way. There are sgmas to fight, rejecons to accept, and the constant building of their strength to stand tall in the face of these rejecons. True integraon is an unrelenng uphill bale for our children, but that we celebrated the birth of our 20th grandchild in 2013 is a testament to the fact that the change has indeed started unfolding, one marriage at a me. Ruchi’s wedding was a grand affair in her husband’s hometown in October 2013. She is now in the UAE where the couple is living and working. Ruchi 21 21 12 “I WISH I WERE DEAD” These were shocking words to come home to, more so when coming from a loving, affeconate soul. Chanda was a caregiver at the first Udayan Ghar. She helped make a life for 12 beauful lile Udayan girls, geng them ready as they went off to the best schools in the city, providing the best physical and mental healthcare, and, above all, keeping a home they could call their own through the Udayan Ghar LIFE (Living in Family Environment) programme. She was a pillar of strength to the mentor mother. Why did she wish herself dead? Some prodding revealed the reason. If she were dead, it would mean her own 11-yearold daughter being brought up by Udayan Care and having the educaonal opportunies she herself could never afford to provide. This aching hope of a mother to give the best to her daughter gave birth to the Udayan Shalini THINK Fellowship Programme. Financial and mentoring support to over ABOUT IT!India ls in 3000 girls living with their own families Only 16% of gir 10.” in 9 cies of India by 2013-14 has meant study till class 01 us of India 20 the fulfilment of 3000 dreams, the transSource- Cens formaon of families and a ‘sena’ (army) of young women nurtured towards success with the ulmate goal of giving back to those like them. 22 TEST OF TIME That so many of our Shalinis are turning donors is a testament to the strength of the Udayan Shalini Programme. Total number of Udayan Shalini Fellows Shalinis reached who have completed 3000+ their fellowships with USF 1267 Graduate 711 Vocational Courses 176 Working 269 Post Graduate 111 20 MOMENTS 13 GIVING COMES 360O Shilpa’s family lived in a one room tenement and she’d put up a duppaa in one corner of the room so she could concentrate on studying for her final exams. Her father was an electrician; her mother cared for her 4 siblings as best she could with limited means. Shilpa dreamed of compleng her Chartered Accountancy, buying her family a home, and educang her brothers and sisters. She graduated, landed a job with a financial services firm, and got her first salary. It was me to start making those dreams come true. And then she signed her first cheque – it wasn’t for a down payment on a home for her family, it wasn’t the fee for her 8-yearold sister, it was a donaon to the Udayan Shalini Programme, the programme that had helped her graduate and had taught her that giving back was the surest sign of success. Over the years, many Shalinis have turned Udayan Care donors. Even as we lost one of our Shalinis – Usha Yadav, to a grave illness in 2013, her parents fulfilled her last wish with a cheque to the Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme and the incepon of the Usha Yadav Udayan Shalini Fellowship Corpus Fund. ve me an a g p i h s ini Fellow y so I could help l a h S e h T to stud ofession, but y t i n u t r y pr oppo m h g u o r someone h t e v i s r g e h o t t o I ght me u a t rtunity t o i p p t o e tha ering e sam w h o t p e m e m t like the mos ife n e e b s had, ha of my l t n e m o m logist 5, Patho 2 e g a , Dr. Akriti 23 14 E M I T F O TEST mputer ew co n r u o w sa Dadri, 2013-14 eing set up at erve centre b boration with S l lla ta UP in co , taking the to ts Samman 8. 941 studen 6 to centres this year, and 9 ced a enrolled udents were pl ill e Sk ng st graduati The Udayan Car set in jobs. ent Centre was r Developm naged by mento up, ma l Sahni. e b a s I r e moth CREATE-ING JOBS… AND LIVES The Centre for Rehabilitaon, Educaon and Thought Enrichment (CREATE) began as a way to fulfil the UdayanGhar goal of integrang our children back into the community. Computer courses, tailoring classes, and beauty therapy classes enabled the women from the neighbourhood to interact with our children and see them as who they really were – just regular kids who want to belong. In the booming economy of the early 2000’s, people wanted jobs, and CREATE expanded to IT training centres in partnership with Microso – the beginning of a relaonship that was the seed for preparing close to 10,000 women and youth for jobs, entrepreneurial ventures, and self-worth. Starting my own tailoring business has meant the best education for my children, an income to supplement my husband’s but most importantly, a belief that I can do anything I set my heart on. Anandi, an Usha certified tailor 24 20 MOMENTS 15 VISION TO LET DREAMS TAKE FLIGHT Doctor! Engineer! Architect! India has long been plagued with strait-jacketed career opons parents “allow” for their children. When Anika, an Udayan Shalini Fellow, was told by her parents to lock up and throw away her dream of being a musician, she felt something die within her. Through her pain, our Vision was put to words: To Regenerate the Rhythm of Life of the Disadvantaged. TEST OF TIME Since inception we have touched the lives of over 13000 youngsters across 13 Udayan Ghars 2 After Care facilities 8 IT&VT centers 9 USF chapters and our Big Friend Little Friend Programme, along with and thousands more through our advocacy initiatives 25 16 3.3 MILLION NGOS IN INDIA AND COUNTING There are more NGOs than hospitals and policemen per person in India. Why? Was it because each one harboured their own development dream or was it because not all of them wanted to set up an NGO for philanthropic reasons? We mulled over it, talked to the dreamers, the doers, and the ones that wanted a kick back. The hard-working NGOs struggled for funds and recognion of their work, mired in red tape and yearning to use their me and resources for their causes rather than administrave blockades. And we had our “ah-ha” moment. Social entrepreneurship pods, under the Udayan Care umbrella and mission! Udayan Care would handle the compliances, the technical training, the finances, and the handholding, and leave them to realize their development dreams. The pods have inspired and nurtured Kusum Bhandari, the founder of the Udayan Shalini West Bengal chapter, and the Aurangabad Shalini team of Ms. Sudha Bazaz, Ms. Mamta Bagla, Ms. Madhvi Thirani, Ms. Rashmi Kedia, and Ms. Monika Das amongst several other inspired leaders. 2013-14 saw children across the Ghars and Udayan Shalini chapters aend film and music appreciaon courses, culinary workshops, meet celebries - a host of unique ideas to widen their horizons that only a passionate entrepreneur with the freedom to dream could conjure. 26 20 MOMENTS 17 TO KURUKSHETRA AND BEYOND There was so much to be done in Delhi and its Naonal Capital Region – would we ever really venture outside? The determinaon of the Kurukshetra University Dean and a senior Indian Administrave Service officer answered Udayan Care’s “Spread the Wings” queson. Dr Sushama Sharma and Rukmani Haldea, one an acve educaonist and the other an acve reree, took on the mantle of both the Ghar and Shalini Programmes and brought homes, hope, dreams, and ambion to Kurukshetra and Jaipur. Their vision helped Udayan Care begin its journey beyond borders. TEST OF TIME 2013-14 saw Kurukshetra add 50 girls to its Shalini ranks even as Jaipur prepared for its first batch of 50 girls. All this, whilst the extraordinary women at the helm bring up 24 daughters between them. 27 18 GOING INTERNATIONAL With volunteers as the backbone of Udayan Care, it was only a maer of me before Udayan Care USA and Udayan Care Australia were born. Their birth, like most of our expansion, came from the impacul relaonships our children shared with the volunteers who had travelled across the world to spend me with them. Julie Lantry founded Udayan Care Australia in 2008 and Jesse George-Nichol and Ricky Surie founded our American chapter in 2010. With programmes such as awareness building, fundraisers, and vising young ambassador programmes, our internaonal chapters bring hope for change from across the seas. Transforming lives by spreading the word, the year 2014 holds promise for Udayan Care UK and Germany. It's hard for Americans to understand how 31 million children could be lost, orphaned or abandoned. I think they want to reach out and help, they just need to know how. Jesse George- Nichol, co-founder, Udayan Care USA 28 20 MOMENTS TEST OF TIME In 2013-14, Udayan Care Australia and USA contributed funds towards the Shalini Fellowship and After Care Programmes, whilst Udayan Care USA also donated towards the construction of an Udayan Home in Jaipur. 29 19 ADVOCACY FOR CHANGE – FROM A MOMENT TO A MOVEMENT A 3rd gender column was recently introduced in most government applicaon forms, and it took years of struggle to bring about this change. A similar struggle took place years ago. Back in 2003, a mentor father filled out an Udayan Ghar child’s Class X board exam form. He scanned the form twice and was enraged to see that there was no ‘Guardian’ column to fill his name against. Did children without parents not exist for the government? Confusion reigned as children filled out their mentors names as parents - surnames and parentage were quesoned. But when children were humiliated at school it was really the final straw. This turned out to be 30 20 MOMENTS a defining moment for us – to truly affect change, we had to advocate for it. A Public Interest Ligaon followed and support poured in from all direcons. Aer a two year long legal bale, the Guardian column was introduced in all School and Board Exam forms, and our children were finally free of awkward quesons about their parentage. Advocacy took the form of Delhi-based consultaons, naonal conferences on the rights of a child, and, in February 2014, a seminar involving all 8 members of the SAARC countries to find a way forward for the mental health of children in instuonal care. A path-breaking academic journal – Instuonalised Children: Exploraons and Beyond was launched at the seminar as a forum to share research and opinion on a subject never chronicled in the region before. Members of the UN aended, a shared passion for child rights across the region was recognized, and a movement had begun. 31 20 LITTLE FRIENDS, BIG FRIENDSHIPS Randy Yeh had spent a month in India. This was his third trip looking for a like-minded partner to launch his extremely successful Big Friend Lile Friend Programme. A huge success across China and the United States, the programme aimed to create a relaonship of “accompaniment with love” between a disadvantaged child and a successful youngster. As he awoke at 5 am on his last day in India, he asked to be given a reason to return, to find a way forward. That was the day Kiran Modi was fortunate enough to meet him and share her own long nurtured dream of a similar programme. The Big Friend India chapter was a reality just a few months later. The programme completes 5 years in 2014 and has touched scores of “bigs” and “liles” in their journey of life. 32 20 MOMENTS YOU !

Anita Akerkar, Volunteer, Donor & Board Member, Udayan Care USA Back in 2011, I moved to India from the US for my husband’s work assignment with Microso. We knew we wanted to make a meaningful contribuon to those in need while we lived there. Aer much research, we found Udayan Care. Then I had only two daughters…I le India three years later with 12 more. My me as a mentor and tutor at the Mehrauli ghar in Delhi is an incredibly special moment in my life and sll remains so thanks to Facebook, Viber and Skype. I hope I imparted some wisdom to these young ladies but I know that I learned much more from them. Given all they have gone through, I have never met more loving and kind people who have incredibly posive atudes. Not to say there aren’t tough moments for them but they are strong willed girls. I enjoy seeing all my girls work hard, succeed and grow to be producve cizens. I look forward to future visits to India to aend graduaons and weddings! As for the operaons of the organizaons, the dedicaon, transparency and integrity of those who run Udayan Care is admirable. I feel blessed to have found Udayan Care. Dhaval Udani, CEO, Give India Udayan Care is a Tier 1 NGO with GiveIndia. It complies with the high standards of credibility and transparency as required by the GiveIndia due-diligence norms. Divya Bhalla, Director, Vaka Group 'Udayan', in Sanskrit, means Eternal Sunrise. Just like the rising Sun, Udayan Care gives light and warmth to many children's lives. I hope that someday, I can also selflessly give myself to a cause like Mrs. Kiran Modi has, she is truly inspiring. My love and best wishes to Udayan Care. Gerlinde Büchinger-Schmid, Volunteer & Donor A great saint once wrote, “Listen and incline the ear of your heart”. Listening with the ear of the heart, paying aenon to what remains unspoken, is a form of uncondional love that requires nothing in return. This is the moo of Dr. Kiran Modi, the charismac founder of Udayan Care, who together with her excellent team shows empathy, takes responsibility and provides help on an equal foong. With their openness and creavity, children are the future of our world. These children have been cheated out of a large part of their childhood, and I am always moved to see how they nevertheless develop over the years. Loving support and an environment free of fear enables them to acquire self-confidence and learn to trust others. With their new-found happiness, they are able to forget the many tears they shed. Manju Dhasmana, Lead - Community Affairs/ Corporate Social Responsibility, Microso India Microso ’s partnership with Udayan Care goes back a long way in 2006, across different programs like providing Digital Literacy to the Udayan Care girls and through our Employee Volunteering and Giving program. It gives me immense pleasure thinking about the day when the Microso Team had contributed bricks to build one of the homes of Udayan Care. We are so delighted that Microso was instrumental in providing the children with a stable environment and a home of their own Sumitra Mishra, Country DirectorIndia-iPartner India Udayan Care has kept its focus on children - their care and protecon, potenals and parcipaon. Over the years the beneficiaries of Udayan Care have become the strongest advocates of the organisaon - an indicator of true success! iPartner India is proud to collaborate with the organisaon in this joint mission. Suresh Neoa, Founder, Ambuja Cements, Donor, Patron- Udayan Care I believe Udayan Care falls into another category when it comes to serving disadvantaged children and empowering women. Personally to me, Udayan Care is an example in itself and the passion and empathy of the Founder Managing Trustee, Dr. Kiran Modi, who has touched all the volunteers, mentors and professionals who are dedicated to the cause for which Udayan Care was founded. 45 COMPLIANCE REPORT 2013-14 (As per Credibility Alliance Norms) 1.

(28.75%) on the flagship programs of the Trust i.e. mainly on Udayan Ghars, Udayan Shalini Fellowship Programme, which is a phenomenal growth as compared to previous years.
