We believe that Volunteers are the backbone of every organization. We also believe that unless members of the civil society are involved proactively in the process of development, sustainable change will not happen. We encourage and invite volunteers to be an active part of our organization and share the same vision and purpose as us to work for the welfare of children and women.

Being a volunteer driven social movement, we involve volunteers in each aspect of our work right from undertaking rescue operation, spreading awareness and mobilizing the community. The volunteers participate in mass movements and activities to make the issue heard at all levels. Volunteers are the change makers and flag bearers of our organization.
