What Your Support Has Built — Kiran Foundation impact figures for 2026

Kiran Foundation was set up in 2026, so these numbers are small. We would rather publish a small figure accurately than a large one loosely, and we would rather tell you how we counted than ask you to take it on trust.

Since We Started

Together, We Create Change

Numbers never tell the whole story, but they do tell you what your kindness has already built.

The Same Numbers, Broken Open

A headline figure is easy to write and hard to check. This is the same work counted one programme at a time.

Programme figures, 2026 to date
ProgrammeWhat we countTo dateNotes
Kidney Care & Dialysis Sessions funded 148 Across 6 patients, paid directly to their dialysis centres
Gau Seva Cattle treated 64 Abandoned, injured, or belonging to families who could not pay a vet
Gau Seva Cows in ongoing care 11 Fodder and treatment funded month by month
Healthcare People seen at camps 96 At 2 camps; 11 were referred onward for tests they had never had
Healthcare Patients on ongoing support 9 Monthly medicines and tests, settled with the chemist
Women & Elderly Care Elderly parents visited monthly 18 Medicines, a check-up, nutrition and an hour of somebody's time
Women & Elderly Care Women supported 14 Skills training, or help through a crisis
Education Children with school costs covered 80 Fees, books, uniforms and shoes, term by term
Food & Nutrition Families on monthly ration kits 34 Delivered on a schedule, not as a one-off drive
Winter Relief Quilts and woollen sets given out 120 Prioritised towards elderly people living alone
Reach Villages and settlements 12 All within reach of our Noida office

These figures overlap. A family on ration kits may also have a child in the education programme and a grandparent on our monthly visits. The headline figure counts each person once; this table counts each programme separately, so the two will not add up to the same total.

Definitions

How We Count

Charity numbers are usually presented without saying what they mean. Here is exactly what ours mean.

"Lives touched"

A named individual who received something specific from us: a funded session, a month of medicines, a term of school costs, a ration kit, a monthly visit. Each person is counted once, however many times we helped them, and however many programmes they appear in.

"Villages reached"

A village or settlement where we have run a camp or where somebody we support lives. We do not count a place because we passed through it, and we do not count the same place twice for two different programmes.

"Volunteers & supporters"

People who have either given time in the field or given money more than once. A single donation, gratefully received, does not put somebody in this number.

Where the money actually goes

Wherever the need is a dialysis session, a course of medicines, a test or a school fee, we do not hand over cash. We settle the bill directly with the dialysis centre, the hospital, the chemist or the school.

This is not a governance flourish. It does two practical things. It spares a family an awkward conversation about money they did not ask to need, and it means there is a receipt from a third party for every rupee, rather than our word for it.

The exceptions are the things that can only be given as goods: ration kits, quilts, woollens and school supplies. Those are bought in bulk and handed over directly, and we keep the purchase invoices.

What we do not claim

We are one year old. There is a lot we cannot yet tell you, and we would rather say so than fill the gap with something impressive.

Honest limits on the figures above

  • We have no long-term outcome data. We can tell you that 96 people were screened; we cannot yet tell you what happened to all of them a year later.
  • Our figures are not externally audited. They come from our own records and we will publish audited accounts as soon as we have a full year to audit.
  • We work in one district. Nothing here is evidence about what would happen at a larger scale, and we do not present it that way.
  • Some people we started supporting have since stopped needing us, and some we lost touch with. Both are in the totals.

How this page gets updated

We update these figures every three months rather than continuously, because a number that changes every day is a number nobody can check. If something here looks wrong to you, please tell us. We would rather correct it than defend it.

2026 So Far

Our First Year

Everything below has already happened. There is no roadmap on this page.

  1. Kiran Foundation is registered

    Set up in Noida in memory of our mother, Kiran Singh, our father, Balkrishna Singh, and our brother, Dharmendra Singh.

  2. First dialysis sessions funded

    Two patients, paid directly to their dialysis centre. This was the programme we understood best, so it was the one we started with.

  3. Education support begins

    School fees, books and uniforms covered for the first group of children, term by term rather than as a single grant.

  4. Gau Seva begins

    Our father's own work, taken up again: treatment and fodder for abandoned and injured cattle, and free veterinary care for families who cannot pay for it.

  5. Monthly elderly visits start

    Our mother's work, organised: medicines, a check-up, nutrition and an hour of somebody's time, every month, for elderly parents living alone.

  6. Ration kits move to a schedule

    Food support shifts from occasional drives to a monthly delivery, because the need it addresses is monthly too.

These numbers are meant to grow

Every one of them is a recurring cost somebody agreed to carry. If you want the next figure on this page to be larger, that is how it happens.
