About Akanksha

Akanksha was born when a group of new friends started volunteering on weekends at public hospitals and homes for destitute children and women in Chennai in 1998.  Akanksha Public Charitable Trust was created on July 15, 2000 in Chennai, Tamilnadu and registered soon after when some of its volunteers decided to devote more time and energy to Akanksha to make it their primary work.
