India · Atlanta · Pakistan

Lasting change,built by hand.

Charity 4 All began with one boy, his grandmother, and a simple promise to help families for the long term, not just for a day. What started in a single Indian village has grown into the work of our whole family, reaching from India to Atlanta and now to a school in Pakistan. Carts, sewing machines, food, masks, schoolbooks, and now a roof over a family's head, all given person to person.

What we're working on right now

Two countries, at the same time.

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

The old water supply we are replacing, unsafe to drink
Peshawar, Pakistan Newest

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 are broken, and we are fixing them one honest step at a time.

  • Underway
    Clean water The water isn't safe to drink, so we bought a water cooler and are getting it installed on site.
  • In progress
    Power and heat The windows and fans are broken in brutal heat, and we are repairing them so the classrooms are bearable again.
  • Planned
    Bathrooms and beyond A full overhaul of the bathrooms, tuition help, school supplies, and the first technology the school has ever had.

These clips are from the school as it is today. Tap any of them to see exactly what your giving is fixing.

A bountiful year in the village

This has been our biggest year yet where it all began. We came back with notebooks, geometry boxes, and new backpacks for the schoolchildren, food staples for families, and warm clothing, all handed out person to person.

Our track record

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 2026

A roof over a family’s head

Rebuilding homes for village families who were living under broken, leaking roofs.

This is our newest kind of work in India. We found families whose roofs had caved in, just thatch and bamboo over crumbling brick, open to the rain and the heat. So we rebuilt them, starting with a sturdy metal roof that will hold for years.

The video here is one family’s home before, and the photo is the new roof we put up for them. This is exactly the kind of lasting fix our family believes in, and we are hoping to do far more of it.

Where we work

A promise that crossed oceans.

From a single village near Bangalore to shelters in Atlanta and a school in Peshawar, 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.
