Dave Katragadda Charity Services Information

The goal of the Dave Katragadda’s Foundation is to provide for the well being of women, their children, and orphaned/abandoned children in India. The Dave Katragadda trust will identify needs and design and implement programs to support women and children (especially orphaned/abandoned children) to be socially and financially self-sustaining. The Katragadda Foundation Trust will raise awareness of the problems facing women and children through education and mass communication, as well as being engaged in activities for the preservation of mother earth especially protecting holy Krishna River and providing a safe and natural environment for Andhra’s revered cows.

The first project of the Dave Katragadda Foundation trust focuses around the creation of a orphanage/sanctuary for some of the young souls who have come upon hard times. This orphanage we are planning to build for girls will be a beautiful haven where they will receive not only food and shelter, but also an education and training to help them become productive members of society.
The orphanage project will take orphaned and abandoned girls (many of whom are currently living in refugee centers) from India and bring them to a place where they will be both cared for as well as given the physical, emotional and spiritual springboards which will enable them to live lives that are full, productive and positive at Dave Katragadda Foundation.
The girls will spend time, in addition to receiving a full education, on hands-on work to get them back in touch with Mother Nature and with their own healing/nurturing touch. Further, Dave Katragadda Foundation will have a full vocational training program for them, as they get older, to teach them essential skills in the world (including computers, typing, sewing, nursing, etc.)
