Visamo Kids is a brainchild of Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff, Chairperson, Calorx Education & Research Foundation and an edu-preneur, who got the inspiration during the post earthquake relief and rehabilitation work undertaken by Calorx in 2001. The camp that was set up to provide shelter to the families displaced from their homes during the earthquake, generated a lot of symbiotic relationship of Calorx with the local community, government, schools, and the local NGOs. “Visamo Kids Foundation” (VKF) took birth in April 2002, to provide for an empowering environment where children can “dare to dream”, “fulfill aspirations” and get basic facilities viz. shelter; food; clothing & education in order to reach up to their desired future.
This is based on the belief that through education we are making fundamental changes in the lives and thoughts of these children, with the anticipation that they will in turn upgrade their families and society.
We want each child to be confident of herself/himself and to be able to stand as an equal in the society, with equal number of opportunities in life. We wish to see them as pilots, commandoes, CEOs, singers, dancers and be happy with whatever conscious choices they make in life.
