The Adopt a Mother Foundation (AAMF) was established in June 1999, and appears to be successful in providing much needed services to poor children living in the burgeoning slums and slum-like habitations around New Delhi, the capital of what is considered an economic powerhouse of the country.
In its nearly 10 years of existence, AAMF has provided nutrition, education, and medication to the poorest children, "giving them the chance to learn, grow and live with health, dignity and opportunity."
"We are currently educating over 1,300 children in our program," Prativa Bhutia, Project Manager at AAMF told News India-Times. "We have been regularly organizing meeting/workshops, cultural programs, field trips for the children. Our biggest challenge is to motivate children to join our classes.
