Big Hug Foundation

Big Hug Foundation is a U.K. registered charity dedicated to providing shelter and education for underprivileged children in India. The children we support are all destitute; some are orphans and others are runaways escaping a lifetime of neglect and/or abuse. Big Hug aims to relieve these children of hardship and break the cycle of poverty by providing them with clean, safe shelter, a real education and above all, a family – what every child deserves. At our partner project, Cornerstone Children's Home (based in south India) we currently support 33 children and young people. The goal of the home is not to be an institution but to provide a loving and comfortable family atmosphere for the children. It only costs £5 to provide a child with shelter and education for an entire month. That's as little as 17p a day to change a child's life. Our mission: The well-being and development of the children we work with will always be at the forefront of everything we do. We will always base our decisions and actions on what the children need and what is in their best interest.
