“Our mission is to help needy children by providing resources to their schools, offering them an education that can break the cycle of poverty in their lives.”

The Watumull Family Children’s Fund has been a vivid dream of Chitra (founded by her and her husband Scott) for many, many years.  It was incorporated and made a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on July 25, 2017.

This morning Chitra Watumull-Wright will discuss the passion behind starting the Watumull Family Children’s Fund as well as their programs to educate children in the slums of Nairobi Kenya and Mumbai India.

An overview of their work is provided in the following video. The Watumull Family Children’s Fund – YouTube
