Our History
Vistara Foundation is a nonprofit organization catering to the health and educational needs of underprivileged and special needs children of India. The motto of our organization is “No child should be denied their opportunity to grow to their maximum potential”. Reduction in infant death rates has led to the survival of premature and high-risk newborns. Hence the need of the hour is supporting these children who are at risk of developing developmental delays, to attain their full potential. This is in addition to the many special needs children like Autism, ADHD, CP, learning disability, etc., which take a toll on any family's social, mental, and financial health.
Vistara foundation was formed with the sole aim of addressing to such needs of the children and their families in mind, in addition to helping the growth and development of underprivileged children in our country. Vistara believes in holistic approaches in dealing with child health issues with a “Whole family wellness” concept addressing the medical, educational, physical, social, mental, and spiritual needs of a child and its family. Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in this area, we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions.
Our Vision
Every child will attain their optimal potential for growth, development, and intellect and all families will make the best use of services, opportunities, and care to enable the emergence of a good family and a productive human being out of every child
Our Mission
To support and improve the health, growth and development of every infant, child and adolescent by appropriate help in medical, education, mental and social domains and by providing a supportive environment for their families in a caring, empathetic and respectful manner, irrespective of their financial status.
