A small team. A long conversation.
We are a team of 46 across nine states, and hundreds of community collaborators. Our work is guided by a simple principle: show up, listen first, and stay for the long haul.
Four sentences we come back to when a decision is hard.
Listen first
Every programme begins with a season of listening — no assumptions, no template solutions.
Stay long
We measure our work in years, not quarters. Trust is the only real currency.
Local first
Field teams are rooted in the communities they serve. We are guests, always.
Transparent
Every rupee is reported. Every mistake is written down and shared.
Fifteen years, quietly.
Luv 2 Care Foundation was never planned as an organisation. Here are the years that shaped it — in the words of the people who lived them.
2002
The seed of an idea
A small group of friends in Delhi begin weekend tuition classes for children in a nearby basti. No name, no plan — just a Sunday habit that refused to end.
2006
An informal collective
The Sunday habit becomes a monthly pool of ₹500 each. Books, notebooks, one second-hand blackboard. Still no letterhead.
2011
Beyond the classroom
First health camps and ration drives — organised out of a Hari Nagar living room, run entirely by volunteers.
2014
First learning centre
Opened in a two-room space in North West Delhi, serving 60 first-generation learners with two teachers.
2017
Circles of care
Launched maternal-health camps and the first women's support circles across six neighbourhoods.
2020
Pandemic response
Distributed 42,000 ration kits, moved learning to community radio, and lost two friends we will not forget.
2023
Livelihood cohort
First 120 women graduated from the tailoring & digital-literacy programme. 86% are still trading today.
2026
Formally, Luv 2 Care Foundation
Registered as a Section 8 company in Delhi by Prerna Mishra and Rajesh — the same work, now with a letterhead.
Six threads, one fabric of care.
Our themes are the ways communities have told us they want to be supported. Each one is a long conversation, not a project.
