About Us
We are dedicated to safeguarding child rights and promoting education empowerment in underserved rural communities. Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where children can thrive, access quality education, and realise their full potential.
Operating across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, HUWAD focuses its efforts in semi-arid and economically marginalised regions, ensuring that children in difficult situations—especially those in rural areas—receive the support, protection, and opportunities they deserve.
