Personnel Overview

C. Prasanna Kumar - Founder & President
Growing up in a rural village we struggled for food & education. When I see a child begging on the streets, my heart breaks. Following an International Training program for prevention of HIV/AIDS in Nellore District, we started an orphanage for AIDS orphans & abandoned children, a registered charity of Andhra Pradesh to serve the poor, downtrodden, outcasts.
