Bridging the gap between hope and real help!
LK FOUNDATION TRUST
We, the Founder and Trustees of LK Foundation Trust strongly believe in HELP as defined make it easier or possible for (someone) to do something by offering one’s services or resources. We see ourselves playing the role of offering services that catalyse the changes in an individuals life for the better. Testing times could arise from circumstances, deci-sions, influences and so on. They could relate to financial, medical, legal or educa-tional. Lack of timely advice, support or guidance could lead to the vulnerable taking unpleasant decisions under stressful circumstances. In most cases individuals shirk to ask for help. The reasons could be fear of rejection, being perceived as needy or wor-ried about the reactions feel shunned, doubt whether they would be helped, a feeling of guilt of burden, tired of trying or tired of themselves, worried about being let-down, self-pity, or social and peer pressure.

For this mission we wish to bring on board the expertise of like-minded Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists, Teachers, Social Service Providers, NGOs, etc.
