Our Impact
Since its founding in 1993, TOUCH (Turning Opportunities for Upliftment and Child Help) has transformed the lives of thousands of underprivileged children, youth, and families across Mumbai and nearby regions. Guided by a commitment to dignity, education, shelter, and empowerment, TOUCH has been a lifeline for those society often overlooks. The children living on the streets, youth without families, and women without support.

Digital and Life Skills Development

- Life skills sessions for children and youth focus on health, hygiene, communication, and resilience, preparing them for adulthood with dignity and awareness.
Health & Nutrition

- Regular medical checkups and preventive health interventions delivered through health camps and medical partnerships.
Textbook Bank & Learning Support
- Through the Textbook Bank, thousands of children have received free books and study material, reducing dropout rates and academic gaps.
For TOUCH, impact is not just about numbers, it’s about stories of transformation. It’s about a girl from the footpath who now attends school with pride, a boy who once begged at traffic signals and now works in a retail chain, or a mother who, after learning tailoring, sends her daughter to college with her earnings. Every program is rooted in the belief that with opportunity, every child can rise.
TOUCH continues to grow its reach with the support of donors, volunteers, and changemakers like you. Together, we are building a world where no child is left behind, where hope lives on wheels, in classrooms, in safe homes, and in the hearts of every person we serve.
