WHO WE ARE
At Nityaasha, our vision is simple: provide an equal opportunity for all to cherish the gift of life. We believe that children with life-threatening disorders also deserve the opportunity to have a normal and fulfilling life, even if they cannot afford medical treatment or a quality education. It is this hope that drives us to keep doing what we do.
Nityaasha Foundation was established in 2013 to reach out to children from less privileged backgrounds who suffer from Type 1 Diabetes, a constant, unrelenting condition. It is only through understanding and mastering the conditions that these children can grow, mature and lead happy, fulfilling lives. Our Foundation is committed to providing the education, guidance, monitoring and medical assistance essential for families to gain confidence in managing diabetes at home and at school.
Every child served is a life enabled and a dream fulfilled

Testimonials
Testimonial
Dr. C S Yajnik, Director
Diabetes Unit, KEM Hospital, Pune.
I greatly admire the philosophy of Nityaasha Foundation to support Type 1 Diabetes patients between the clinic visits. This is clearly the most crucial aspect of treatment, and help in the day to day battle with diet, monitoring and insulin treatment can make a difference between success and failure. Extra investment today will reap rich benefits in future.
My best wishes to Nityasha Foundation.

I am very pleased to share my thoughts about the outstanding work of Nityaasha Foundation.
I appreciate the fantastic work the team associated with it is doing for underprivileged children who are suffering from Type-1 Diabetes by providing them their “lifeline” – Insulin.
With their help, plenty of children suffering from this very difficult illness are helped and my good wishes to them to continue reaching out to as many children as possible who need them the most and bring a smile to their faces.
Testimonial
Dr. Arundhatee Khare
Pediatric Endocrinologist, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital
Team Nityasha make every effort to help us as doctors deliver the best possible care to these children. They help give comprehensive care with a personal touch to these children and their families which I feel is truly important and special. This comprehensive care includes bearing the financial expense of the care of the diabetic children (they offer free insulin therapy and bear a significant expense of their glucose monitoring), diabetes education, and offering a committed social and psychological support to them and their families.
In the years that we have worked together we have witnessed a significant and sustained improvement in the overall understanding and control of diabetes of these children, a fact that boosts our morale and gives us much joy and satisfaction.
My congratulations, best wishes and sincere thanks to team Nityaasha for their wonderful work.
