“Open hills, mountain thrills, friends to share, lessons to bear,
Nature’s charm, village calm, bracelets worn, sun’s warm,
Flowing streams, trees in bloom, kind souls, dreams to groom,
Helping hands, striving high, a passion fierce, thoughts that fly…
With all this grace, what more to chase?”
As I pondered ways to give back to the mountains, social media led me to the inspiring page of SOCH organization, where I saw the dreams of mountain communities being transformed into reality. I connected, followed, and reached out to express how deeply their vision resonated with my own and how eager I was to be a part of it. Joining SOCH and committing to this journey for a lifetime has been one of my best decisions. Now, as a member of this beautiful SOCH family, I proudly say “we” instead of “I.”
At SOCH, we pursue dreams—those of the younger generations, the elders, women seeking empowerment, and passionate individuals who have talent but lack basic resources. SOCH supports impactful projects that transform the lives of disadvantaged children and youth across various regions of Uttarakhand. We are a team of change makers who believe that every helping hand can uplift a child and pave the way for a brighter future.
Our journey began with extending support to underprivileged children and youth eager to learn and strive for a better life. This mission grew stronger as we realized just how many children needed assistance with essentials like food, shelter, and education. Our team expanded, reaching out to more regions to help as many children as possible. Today, we operate shelter homes, schools, and accessible dining facilities that support these young individuals. We’ve also established helpline offices nationwide so anyone in need can reach us anytime.
Our mission is to ensure that all children and young people receive the support they need, whenever they need it—whether it’s a supportive conversation, financial aid, education, job training, or simply knowing they’re not alone. We aim to build a world where no child or youth feels isolated, where everyone struggling can easily reach out for help with education, employment, and more. Our goal is to expand across every region to ensure we’re accessible to all in need.
Our numbers inspire us to give our best and continually break our own records. We’re thrilled to be growing and helping more people every day: with over 1,000K members worldwide, we’ve raised more than $300M in funds, helped 950,000+ children, and provided 50,000T of food.
We operate shelter homes, schools, and an affordable community kitchen that serves young people in need. Additionally, we have helpline offices accessible at any time. Our goal is to empower the next generation with essential skills, especially around Digital Bharat, ensuring they can fully benefit from the opportunities of the growing digital era.
As the song goes, “Jahaan Pawan bahaye Sankalp liye, Jahaan parvat garv sikhate hai, Jahaan uchche neeche sab raste, bhakti ki dhun mein gatte hai,” meaning, “Where the wind flows with determination, the towering mountains instill pride, where all paths—high and low—unite in a melody of devotion.”
With that same spirit of determination, SOCH is committed to achieving success, prosperity, and happiness for the mountains, honoring the motherland, and creating pathways for all generations.
By blending the innovative skills of the youth with the wisdom of the older generations, we aim to foster growth and development. SOCH brings joy, purpose, and dedication to the mountain communities, helping them find both pace and peace in their lives.
