Vishnubhai Amin Orphan & Destitute and Single Parents Project

Orphan, Destitute & Single Parent Project

Nurturing Hope Through Education

Launched in 2006 by United Way of Baroda, the Orphan, Destitute & Single Parent Project—initiated in memory of Vishnubhai Amin—aims to provide vital educational support to vulnerable children in Vadodara. Focused on students from orphaned, destitute, and single-parent backgrounds, the project operates across numerous government schools to ensure these children have access to quality primary education and the resources they need to thrive.

The initiative not only provides essential educational materials but also fosters emotional and psychological well-being through year-round activities such as educational tours and cultural celebrations. These engagements are designed to promote a supportive learning environment and help children develop holistically.

By addressing socio-economic barriers and encouraging continued education, the project works towards building a more inclusive and promising future for children who need it the most. It also encourages aspirations for higher education and a better quality of life.

About 20 million children, about 4% of their population in India and higher than people living in Delhi, are orphan. Of them, parents of only 0.3% children have died and rest have been abandoned.
