ABOUT
Why United Samaritans India?
We Are Not Charity. We Are a Consciousness Movement.
United Samaritans India (USI) does not believe in momentary relief or symbolic compassion. We exist to disrupt injustice at its roots, to heal broken lives permanently, and to rewrite the destiny of those society forgot. Our work is not transactional—it is transformational.
Grounded in Grassroots. Powered by Purpose.
Born from the soil of real struggles, USI operates deep inside communities, slums, villages, streets, and shelters—not from air-conditioned boardrooms. This proximity gives us unfiltered truth, cultural intelligence, and the ability to design solutions that actually work on the ground.
We Don’t Rescue Lives—We Rebuild Them.
Rescue is only the beginning. USI walks every survivor through a full rehabilitation ecosystem:
Safety → Healing → Education → Skill-building → Financial independence → Social dignity
We don’t abandon people after aid—we stand until they stand on their own.
Mental Health Is Our Backbone
While most organizations stop at food and shelter, USI dares to go where healing truly begins—the mind and soul.
Trauma counseling, emotional rehabilitation, confidence rebuilding, and identity restoration are at the heart of our intervention model.
Breaking Generational Chains
USI does not just help women survive abuse—we help them reclaim authority over their lives. From victims to leaders, we enable women to rise as:
- Earners
- Decision-makers
- Role models
Tomorrow’s Architects
Every child we touch is treated not as a beneficiary, but as India’s future asset. Education, nutrition, and values are integrated into our model—ensuring that poverty ends with them, not passes through them.
Compassion Without Bias
USI believes that kindness is incomplete if it excludes animals. We extend our humanity to the voiceless—rescued dogs, abandoned cattle, injured animals.
For us, animal welfare is not optional—it is a moral responsibility.
Scale With Soul & Integrity
We have impacted lives at scale without losing empathy. Every resource entrusted to USI is treated as sacred.
We believe donors are partners, not funders—ensuring measurable impact and transparent action at every level.
Building Human Potential
Aid without empowerment creates dependency. USI invests in skills, self-worth, and livelihood training, enabling individuals to become self-reliant contributors, not lifelong recipients.
United Samaritans India Is a Promise
- No woman will suffer in silence
- No child will be denied dignity
- No animal will die abandoned
- No human will be written off as “hopeless”
We are here to stand where society steps back, to fight where silence prevails, and to ignite hope where darkness was normalized.
It is a revolution of compassion, courage, and conscience.
Mission Statement
To heal lives, empower the forgotten, protect the voiceless, and restore balance between humanity and nature through compassion, action, and sustainable impact.
United Samaritans India is committed to restoring dignity, hope, and opportunity to every life touched by suffering—human, animal, and environmental. Our mission is to uplift underprivileged communities by safeguarding children, supporting children battling cancer, empowering HIV-positive women, and ensuring access to quality healthcare and education for the poor. We prioritize the mental and emotional well-being of women and children, recognizing healing as essential to lasting transformation. With equal compassion, we protect and rehabilitate stray and abandoned animals, nurture ecological balance through urban forestry, and revive biodiversity by increasing sparrows, butterflies, and green habitats. Through our Serve the Dead initiatives and humanitarian response programs, we honor life with dignity beyond death. Rooted in grassroots action and driven by ethical responsibility, United Samaritans India Foundation exists to create sustainable change, strengthen human potential, and build a compassionate, conscious, and inclusive future for generations to come.
Vision Statement
United Samaritans India envisions a world where no life is invisible, no suffering is ignored, and compassion shapes the destiny of humanity.
We strive for a society in which every underprivileged child is educated and nurtured, every child fighting cancer is surrounded by care and hope, every HIV-positive woman lives with dignity and strength, and healthcare and knowledge are universal rights—not privileges. Our vision extends beyond human welfare to embrace all living beings—where stray and abandoned animals are protected,
ecosystems are restored, urban forests thrive, sparrows and butterflies return to our skies, and environmental stewardship becomes a way of life. We aspire to build a future where mental well-being is valued as deeply as physical survival, where life is honored with dignity even in death, and where service is not an act of charity but a shared human responsibility. United Samaritans India exists to ignite a global conscience—creating generations that choose empathy over apathy, sustainability over exploitation, and humanity over indifference—until compassion becomes the world’s most powerful movement.

International Progression
Global Service & Impact
Across the world, the voices of the oppressed are often silenced by race, caste, gender, geography, and socio-economic barriers. While progress and prosperity advance in some parts of the globe, millions continue to live in invisibility—denied dignity, safety, opportunity, and justice. Discrimination, violence, poverty, and neglect do not recognize borders, and neither does suffering.
United Samaritans India (USI) exists to transcend boundaries and stand wherever humanity is threatened.
