India · Atlanta · Pakistan

A promise thatcrosses oceans.

Charity 4 All began with a promise to help families for the long term, not just for a moment. What started in a single Indian village has grown into the work of our whole family, reaching Atlanta and, today, two schools in Peshawar, Pakistan, one of them a high school for girls. Carts, sewing machines, food, masks, schoolbooks, and a roof over a family's head, all given person to person.

Our newest project is a public high school for girls. It started in August with the first deliveries, and this September it is fully underway. New carpets now cover the classroom floors where the girls sit to learn, and water coolers are going into their hands so every girl has clean, cold water through the school day.

What we're working on right now

Two countries, at the same time.

Our family is active on two fronts at once, two schools in Peshawar, Pakistan, and the village in India where we have worked for years. Here is what is happening in each, right now.

Carpets and clean water for a girls high school.

Government Girls High School Gulbahar is a public school where hundreds of girls come to learn. The work began last month, and this September it is fully underway. The girls used to sit for lessons on bare concrete and thin mats. Now their classrooms have new carpets, and water coolers are reaching the girls themselves.

  • Done
    New carpets in the classrooms The girls sit on the floor for their lessons. Fresh carpet now covers it, so they learn somewhere warm, clean, and dignified.
  • In progress
    Water coolers for the girls Coolers are going out to the girls so each of them has clean, cold water through the long, hot school day.
  • Ongoing
    Keeping girls in school Every girl who stays in school is a future teacher, doctor, or leader. Small comforts like these make it easier for families to keep sending their daughters.
  • Ongoing
    Education that empowers women An educated girl becomes a woman with choices, an income, and a voice. That is why we are putting our giving into a girls school in Pakistan.

Every clip here was filmed at the school in August and September 2026.

Rebuilding the broken desks and benches, and putting in new fans
Peshawar, Pakistan Since June

A fresh start for a school in Peshawar.

Our first project in Pakistan, and our newest anywhere. We came to this school through my father-in-law, who has taught there for nearly twenty years, so this one is close to our hearts. The basics were broken, and we have been fixing them one honest step at a time. The change already shows.

  • Done
    Clean water, installed The new water cooler is in and working, so the children finally have safe, cold water to drink.
  • Done
    Desks, benches, and fans rebuilt We remade the broken classroom furniture by hand and put in new fans against the brutal heat.
  • Underway
    The rooms themselves Fresh plaster, repaired walls, and proper classrooms the children can actually learn in.
  • Planned
    Bathrooms and beyond A full overhaul of the bathrooms, tuition help, school supplies, and the first technology the school has ever had.

What our family has built.

Each one started as a small idea in the village and grew into something families count on. Tap through to see them.

Ongoing 2024 to now, Pakistan since 2026

Education, the foundation of everything

From school supplies in Channapatna to the girls of Gulbahar in Peshawar, because we believe education changes everything, and educating girls changes it most.

Along with our Ramadan drives, we wanted to give the children in the village the supplies they need for the best education possible, the books, materials, and basics that help them learn.

We believe the foundation of prosperity is education, and that lifting it up lifts up everything else in these families' lives. We began this in 2024, it's ongoing, and it's the same belief guiding our work in Peshawar today.

In Pakistan that belief has a special focus on girls. At Government Girls High School Gulbahar we started in August 2026, and this September we laid new carpets across the classroom floors where the girls sit to learn and brought in water coolers for them. When a girl can learn in comfort and dignity she is more likely to stay in school, and an educated girl grows into a woman with choices, an income, and a voice in her family and her community.

Where we work

Where our family shows up.

From a single village near Bangalore to shelters in Atlanta, two schools in Peshawar, and the neighborhoods of Bhopal, this is where our family has shown up, and where we are headed next.

A chapter we're proud of, 2020

When the world shut down, our work crossed an ocean.

When COVID-19 hit, we asked how our work in India could help here at home. The village women were already sewing for hospitals, so with the right materials they could sew protective masks instead.

I researched the fabric, my grandma’s contact bought it and brought it to the families, and the masks were stitched, packaged, and shipped to the US. Then I delivered them by hand to homeless shelters and nursing homes across Atlanta, more than 1,000 in all.

Soon after the AJC article, the International Fund for Economic Development reached out to endorse our work. They later provided funding that went straight toward new sewing machines and carts, and they continue to make a huge difference for Charity 4 All.

Where it all began

It started with my grandmother.

Every time I visit India, I can't help but notice the poverty all around me. I always did little things to help, like giving food or money to people on the street, or helping my cousins however I could.

My grandma always told me to do whatever I can for the poor. I wanted to do something bigger, something that would last. So I gave most of my savings to start this, and brought my family in to reach as many people as we could. Everything you have just seen grew from there.

I wanted to fix these problems for the long term, not with a quick handout, but with something that lasts.
