About Us
Palkar Helpline (PHL) is a Non Profit Organization registered in the USA and
India. PHL was formed by a group of like-minded volunteers from various walks
of life. The common goal of these volunteers were to uplift the poor and
economically weaker children and women in India mainly by providing Education,
Healthcare and improving basic infrastructure that would contribute to overall
development.
PHL's goal is to change the future of underprivileged and economically weaker
people by enlightening the future of their children through education. Many
poor families don't have enough income for survival even if both parents work.
They tend to generate income from each member of the family for their daily
meal. A child of age 0-10 is physically not a source of income and most of them
finish their elementary school (still there are some unfortunate ones to drop
out from elementary school). Many children between age 11 and 18 are more prone
to turn into child laborers to support their families and drop out of the
school to work at a shop or do some labor work.
PHL's main goal is to help these children and provide them basic education by taking care of their school
expenses. This makes their parents worry-free about their children's education and thus helps prevent them from
becoming child laborers.
