Nele Foundation began its journey in August 2000 to provide residential care amidst a loving and secure environment, for destitute children. The foundation runs 8 centres - 5 in Bengaluru and 3 others in Mysuru, Tumakuru, and Shivamogga respectively. The foundation has changed the lives of over 260 children through the work done at these centres. Facilities provided to the children at Nele include:

Vision To create a hunger-free and well-cultured society that professes highest human values. | Mission To create an organic ecosystem which can facilitate holistic development of a child by providing a conducive environment for blossoming the 'Innate Potentialities' latent in the Child. |
Backdrop An extremely heartbreaking sight in Bengaluru is to see children with torn clothes and dishevelled hair, lugging a dirty bag on their tiny shoulders, picking up rags from the streets. Devoid of parents' love and affection, basic education, and support from the society, these kids have no choice but to feed on the leftovers thrown around. There are thousands of vulnerable children in the city who are devoid of similar necessities, financially and emotionally. These kids often cultivate wrong habits and turn up as anti-socials. It is estimated that the city of Bengaluru alone harbours thousands of such children. As a part of the civilized society, it is our responsibility to take care of these children. With a mission to address the challenges faced by such children, Nele Foundation began its humanitarian work. It offers a ray of hope to destitute children like rag-pickers, beggars, orphans, any other needy and neglected towards a better life. It has touched many hearts and changed many lives. | Organizational Philosophy SEVA is the bedrock and guiding principle of Nele. We strive to instil this idea within all personnel of Nele. The central focus of Nele is 'The Child', around which all activities are woven. |
