Love Has Found A Way!

Providing Love, Support, and Hope to India’s Children

India Collective is a 501c3 public charity in the United States that provides funding and support to local organizations in India that serve underprivileged, vulnerable members of society, including at-risk women, children, and orphans.

Our Mission

We support organizations in India that empower orphans and other disadvantaged children and women to become purpose-filled, self-supporting members of society.

What we do

We partner with IGM Children’s Homes and trusted local organizations to provide homeless, orphaned, and abandoned children with safe homes, education, and compassionate care, while empowering women through education and secure housing to build stable, hope-filled futures.

Why India?

Highest number of orphans in the world!

A horizontal bar chart highlights the number of out-of-school children in five countries, with India leading at 31,000,000, followed by Nigeria, China, Bangladesh, and Congo.

Many orphans are living on the streets

India’s growing economy has lifted millions of families into the middle class, yet the country still has more street children than any other nation in the world. Millions of children live in India’s largest cities with no home, family, or stable future. Beyond the daily struggle to survive, these children face grave dangers, including human trafficking, forced labor, and sexual exploitation.
