After a life-changing sabbatical in 2005 to volunteer at Mother Teresa's orphanage and home for the dying in Kolkata, India,
Tanya Pinto started Baal Dan with a dream to help orphans and street children and to provide them with a strong foundation in life so they can live to their full potential with shelter, good nutrition, and a quality education. |
Since 2006, our consistently low operating expenses ensured that every dollar donated had an impact.
