icon-2 About Us

An achaani is the small pin that holds a chariot wheel to its axle. Nobody sees it. Nothing moves without it.

We are a small American foundation that funds cancer treatment and children's education in India, through people who have done that work for decades. We try to be the pin, not the chariot.

பயன்தூக்கார் செய்த உதவி நயன்தூக்கின் நன்மை கடலின் பெரிது.

Help given without weighing the return, when weighed, outweighs the sea.

— Thirukkural, Verse 103

icon-1 Our Projects

Two things, in proportion

We do two things. About four-fifths of our funds go to cancer care — ports, treatment, and the people who deliver them. The rest goes to children learning by doing — circuits on a workbench, English spoken aloud, a pond studied up close. We keep the proportion deliberate, and we publish it.

Cancer Care
About 80% of funds
Cancer care

With the CanCare Foundation in Chennai, we fund chemotherapy ports, blood-cancer treatment, and the training of the assistants and nurses who carry the daily load. Patients are chosen by CanCare's medical social workers on one criterion: the family cannot pay.

Education Support
About 20% of funds
Education

Electronics kits and a 57-experiment curriculum in rural Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Spoken English in village schools. Student sponsorships. Small grants, used up fully, with the bills to show for it.
