Located in the heart of Rajasthan, Jaipur is the capital of this colourful culture-rich state. The city is also known as the Pink City for its beautiful palaces and buildings tainted with pink. It is one of the many rapidly growing places, and is flourishing greatly by the day. Since the development in the city is only increasing, there is also an increase in the number of individuals who’re suffering because of the same due to the limited resources available. These are people, who’re unable to access proper health and sanitation facilities, and often end up with illnesses. This gives way to either families where parents are not fit to cater to the needs of their children, or where children have lost their parents to unfortunate events. This is where the role of SOS India, one of the top NGOs in Jaipur comes into picture, where thousands of parentless or abandoned children are supported by our organization.
