Pooja Thakare Umekar
I am a single mother. I run my own business and I also have an NGO, by the name of Faith Foundation. I have a strong background of working in various and diverse fields, mostly relating to social work and people management. My NGO works for children and people living with HIV/AIDS, tribal women and youth, destitute women and against sexual harassment and child abuse. I started my NGO in the year 2013 because I strongly believe that every individual has a higher purpose in life and as human beings, it is our moral responsibility to help other human beings as much as we can. My NGO today supports more than 50 children and people living with HIV/AIDS.
