Partner Organizations

Indian Association for the Promotion of Adoption and Child Welfare

Established in 1970, IAPACW is a trusted non-profit organization that is concerned with the issues involving the adoption of abandoned and destitute children. IAPACW's mission rests on the belief that care in a loving and nurturing family is critical to a child's physical, mental and emotional growth and well-being. They work to secure a permanent loving family for deprived children, initiate and participate in advocacy for legislative reforms and policies, improve the practices and procedures for protecting the interests of the child and families, and spread awareness of the children's situation.

Unfortunately, IAPACW sees a lot of children who may not be adopted for a long time, or possibly ever. It is in these cases that Learn to Love and IAPACW's partnership comes into play; LTL provides specific funding for the healthcare and education of children who are expected to stay in the pre-adoption stage for some time.

The Society for the Education of the Crippled

Established in 1959 by a mother who sought an education for her physically challenged daughter, S.E.C. has since grown to provide special transportation, free medical evaluations and therapy, nutritious meals, development centers, vocational training as well as job placement services, and four schools across Mumbai to service over 300 students of varied capabilities.

S.E.C.'s notable vision is a world where people of all levels of ability are taught to achieve their full potential and live as productive members of society. The organization's mission is the total rehabilitation of the orthopedically challenged child and adult, thus making them productive members of society.

LTL partners with S.E.C. to provide the tools a physically challenged child needs to succeed in society. We raise money to fund certain aspects of S.E.C.'s operation, such as warm, complete lunches for students for a full year, or new technology for the physical therapy facilities. Videos of the facilities can be found here.
