Vibha selects the child development projects without any discrimination based on gender, caste, religion, political affiliation or language. We follow an exhaustive evaluation process which includes quantitative metrics like the number of children impacted, the cost per activity or cost per child and qualitative measures such as the impact on the local community, structure and long term sustainability of the organization. Vibha's main focus areas are:



Education

Vocational training

Care for physically and/or mentally challenged children

Rescue and rehabilitation of children in vulnerable conditions



Vibha action center in Houston is a group of energetic and enthusiastic people who share a strong belief that we can positively impact the future of India - even from halfway across the world. Our primary goal here in Houston is to create awareness about Vibha and the cause. Once we do that, our next most important initiative will be to raise much needed funds to support grassroots projects in India. Creating awareness and generating funds can be done by organizing events, drives, campaigns etc. We need a lot more hands and are open to any kind of support we can get.
