SnehaKarma Foundation believes in offering a helping hand to as many people as possible to help them get their birth right back. It a big mission to have, for a small not-for-profit organization but we do believe in the power of Humanity. We believe that it is in Human nature to help the needy. All that is needed is to help connect the needy with the ones who can help. We call this coming together of kind hearted people to help the needy as 'Sneha Karma' (Deeds of the Heart).
