KNOW ABOUT
Nele Foundation
Began its journey in August 2000 to provide residential care amidst a loving and secure environment, for underprivileged children. These children most of the time are rescued from abuse and a life of poverty.
The foundation runs 12 centers - Six in Bengaluru and two in Mysuru and one each in Tumakuru, Mandya, Hospete and Shivamogga. The foundation has changed the lives of over 2000 children through the work done at these centers.. We are presently feeding and caring for over 400 children. At Nele, our goal and commitment are to provide a good future and better opportunities to the child. Children here experience love and individual care, establishing lifelong connections with us. Our caretakers come with rich experience and are professionally trained, thoroughly screened permanent staff who manage the centers to run with utmost care and concern.
