"Our Origin"

Someone has said it very well: “If you are sure there is a way out, the lamp lights up even after taking cover of the wind”.

Kaushik Agrawal, born to a Vaidya family in Govindpura, Varanasi, founded “Dare to Help Foundation” in 2019 with the help of his friends and relatives, keeping in mind the goals of redressing the problems prevailing in society, encouraging the creativity of children, women’s empowerment, environmental protection, etc. There was a lack of resources but not of courage; there was only a passion for how to help those people in society to whom the benefits of any kind of government scheme could not reach due to a lack of information. The organization was started by distributing blankets and providing food to the very needy people sleeping on the tracks, and at the same time, a demon named Corona started hovering over our heads. Perhaps it was the wish of the Almighty that the fruits of the tree we sowed in 2019 started coming in 2020 itself. i.e., the organization distributed food packets; snack packets were made available to countless needy people; and food for many innocent animals was also arranged by all the friends and workers of the organization with the help of their relatives and acquaintances. Contributing to the government’s efforts to get society out of COVID, the organization has successfully organized several vaccination camps, as well as eye camps, plantation awareness camps, yoga camps, etc., to protect the environment and help defeat such giants. After Corona got under control, the ‘Dare to Help Foundation is now ready to organize many other programs. All I have to say is, “There are definitely difficulties, but I have not stopped, nor have I arrived at my final destination yet.”

Founder's note

kaushik agrawal

Founder

Apart from my family-run business, my goal is to take my organization, ‘DARE TO HELP FOUNDATION’, to the next level of a reputed and inclusive NGO to address the needs and problems of various needy sections of society, from where I, along with my team, can improve the social status of the people, and to a point where others can be inspired to do the same. Talking about my qualities, I am self-motivated and have the ability to cope with a changing environment.
I hope that the profile of the ‘Dare to Help Foundation’ and its activities in regard to various socio-economic, health, and education programs delineated will give you a clear picture of the principles for which the organization stands for and is actively working. Your attention is particularly drawn to countless needy and homeless people. Therefore, there is an urgent desire to address their concerns. Given the scope of the initiative, this requires the active assistance of all kind-hearted people. I have a strong feeling that a good number of people will step forward to offer their assistance in order to make our project a great success. Even if your contribution is small, it will add to the whole and help those who are suffering from deprivation by bringing them joy.
