In India, the gap between healthcare availability and accessibility is very much evident among the working poor. Despite the existence of quality medical facilities, many individuals and families struggle to afford necessary treatments during emergencies. This financial hardship not only jeopardizes their health but also perpetuates a cycle of poverty. The Soondra Foundation is committed to breaking this cycle by providing critical financial support to those in need. Through targeted cash grants, we ensure that individuals can access timely medical care without the fear of financial ruin. Because the U.S. dollar is so strong, the cost of a simple fracture in India is about the cost of a t-shirt in the States. Your small gift can bring hope to vulnerable communities across the country.
