Disclaimer

Draft placeholder — review before launch. Not legal advice.

Shiksha is a directory, not a charity, and not a payment intermediary. We never handle money on behalf of any listed home, and we never take a cut of any donation. All giving happens directly between you and the home you contact.

A Verified badge means our team has independently confirmed a home's existence and contact details, not that we audit or endorse how any home spends what it receives. Use your own judgement, as you would with any organisation.

Shiksha intentionally stores no information about individual children or residents — no names, photos, ages, or case details — at any listed institution. Only institution-level information (address, contact, capacity, current needs) is published. Disclosing the identity of a child in institutional care is an offence under India's Juvenile Justice Act, 2015.

Listing information is submitted and periodically verified by our team, but details can change faster than we can confirm them. Always call ahead before visiting or donating.
