Umeed works across India to provide food security, healthcare access, education support, women upliftment, environmental initiatives, skill development, and crisis response. Our programmes are designed to offer both immediate relief and long-term community empowerment.
We work across multiple regions including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Karnataka, and several others through on-ground teams, partner organisations, and mobile outreach models.
Our work is supported through individual donations, corporate partnerships, grants, community fundraisers, and in-kind contributions. All funds are allocated directly to active programmes and verified relief operations.
You can donate through the “Donate” page on our website, which offers secure online payment options including UPI, net banking, cards, and bank transfer. Donors can also choose to support a specific cause such as healthcare, education, food security, or crisis relief.
