About Hidush
Hidush is dedicated to empowering underprivileged children with opportunities to dream, strive, and achieve. Our focus spans education, health, nutrition, and environment, ensuring that every child has access to a dignified life.
The name Hidush, one of the oldest names for India (c. 486 BC), means renewal. It reflects our core values of rebirth and resilience to recover what has been lost, protect what we have, and secure a brighter future.
Over the years, Hidush Foundation has worked closely with municipal and government schools across Mumbai and surrounding regions, supporting infrastructure renewal, scholarships, and community health initiatives. Through partnerships and collective action, we continue to create sustainable change and empower communities from the ground up.
