3. We Care HAS ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT OBJECTS. HOW ARE THESE GOING TO BE      REALISED?

Different people have different needs at different times. Some have need for educational assistance, others for medical care and yet others for housing or employment, etc. We Care wishes to address these needs as and when they arise.

We see these needs as integrated aspects of human life and addressing these needs helps us to foster and nurture human growth and development. It is not merely the economic status of human life that is important, but also aspects like living life with dignity that must be considered.

5. IS We Care A CHRISTIAN ORGANISATION AND DOES We Care HELP ONLY

We Care is not a Christian organization. We Care is a SECULAR organization managed by a Board of Trustees, most of whom are Christians. We Care is a people's organization and welcomes people of all religions into its fold. Though most of our donations are received from Christian donors, our beneficiaries are people from all religions. No discrimination is made on the basis of religion.
