The mission of HUGGS Canada, a registered Canadian charity, is to provide underprivileged students in India with the opportunity to further their education, enabling them to contribute more effectively to their families and communities.
Thanks to our generous donors, HUGGS enables young people to complete their secondary and post secondary education, preparing them for careers such as nursing, teaching and computing.
When I visited our project in Vizag.... I saw how these students, despite their disadvantaged backgrounds, balance helping their families and the demands of school -- because they know completing their education is the key to helping them and their families out of poverty. And I saw the hope on their faces as they came to believe that HUGGS really was giving them a chance to change their lives.
Since 2003, HUGGS has supported 25 students and our very first student graduated from Nursing School this year.
HUGGS relies on voluntary donations from individuals, groups, foundations and companies. Please consider joining our growing community of supporters and help HUGGS change the lives of even more deserving young people in the future.
