Projects
Over our 28 years of operation, MSSO has funded deserving projects of all sizes and descriptions. Dr. Jagannath Wani, we often say, has a sixth sense of what’s needed the most, and more importantly, how to implement it in an effective, accountable way. Over the years, projects have tended to increase in size and numbers of people helped.
MSSO Supported Projects
Nimitekam – Help Refugees from Pakistan
Sethu Child Development & Family Guidance Centre
Sethu is a charitable trust committed to the development of children, based in India’s smallest state of Goa, just south of Maharashtra. Since its inception 11 years ago, Sethu has grown from an idea to an organic vibrant center that strongly believes that every child, despite whatever challenges they may face deserves to reach their full potential.
AVANI Project
AVANI which in Sanskrit means earth has been coined as an acronym for Anna, VAstra and NIvara; for food, clothing and shelter. In addition to these three basic necessities of life, AVANI also provides for education of rescued children, making them responsible and contributing members of the society.
