Pallavi Sharma, a former telecommunications professional, founded the We Care Foundation in 2019 to uplift underprivileged children through education in Gurugram, Haryana, India. Starting with just seven children, the NGO has grown significantly, now serving over 500 students across three branches in Gurugram and one in Allahabad. The foundation focuses on providing not only education but also essential support like mid-day meals and uniforms, ensuring that children's basic needs are met before they can fully engage in learning. Recognized by the National Institute of Open Schooling, the foundation currently offers classes up to Class 8, with plans for expansion. In addition to traditional subjects, it teaches vocational skills, self-defense, and technology, fostering a holistic educational environment.
