 What is Project DEVI?Founded by Vivek Oberoi through the Yashodhara Oberoi Foundation, Project DEVI focuses on enriching the lives of the underprivileged girls of Vrindavan, providing them with the skills and the education to become productive, self-sufficient adults. Project DEVI operates through Food for Life Vrindavan whose work includes food distribution, basic medical assistance, training courses for women, assistance to the elderly and the disabled as well as primary school education for disadvantaged children.
Food for Life Vrindavan is a 100% transparent charity. Anyone is welcome to check their books or visit them. It is an organisation that helps those in need and they do so with passion and with the belief of serving a higher purpose.
Sponsoring a Child
Sponsorship is as simple as a donation and any length of commitment is greatly appreciated. For just Rs 60/day (approximately USD$43, 32 Euros, £23 per month - please check xe.com for current rates) is sufficient to ensure a child receives an education, medical care, nutritious diet, and clothing. In addition to that we ask that sponsors give an extra $5 a month for each girl sponsored. This is to help prevent her from being taken out of school for premature marriage. This will give us an extra $60 a year, which will be placed in a special bank account. When the girl reaches the age of 18 and has completed her studies, that money will be given to her. We would like to extend our thanks to the sponsors of the first and second batch of angels whose lives you are positively changing forever thanks to your contribution! This is our third batch of angels. Vivek-Oberoi.Com will be posting the profiles of 5 girls at a time until a sponsor is found for each girl.
