It gives me immense pleasure to share my thoughts about SHWDO Foundation. The idea to have a realistic NGO strike to me when I came across with underprivileged children who were deprived of basic needs like education, health care and nutrition. In short duration SHWDO has done tremendous work for upliftment of underprivileged children and women.
“I am very pleased to say that my experience of associating with SHWDO Foundation has been excellent and I feel it is a privilege too. My appreciation for the excellent work which is carrying out in uplifting under- privileged children and women. By providing opportunities to needy children, SHWDO is investing in a better future for the world, since children and mothers are the future. I am honoured to be a part of the organisation in a small way and shall try to remain so. My good wishes to SHWDO to continue reaching out to children who need them the most. keep up the good work.“
