Save A Rupee Spread A Smile Society

“Helping the needy or unprivileged doesn’t cost much in terms of our time or money “was the thread of thought that led to the formation of a charitable society called ‘Save a Rupee, Spread a Smile’. What is SARSAS “Helping the less fortunate doesn’t cost us much in terms of our time or money” From this tiny thread of thought was formed ‘Save a Rupee, Spread a Smile’ , a charitable society. We believe that service is not what we want to do but what we have to do. What started with monthly visits to old age homes and orphanages has now grown into manifold domains of community service, education, health and hygiene, food and nutrition, animal care etc. On the big canvas of life, these petite strokes go a long way in creating a magnum opus. Why SARSAS Every day and every smile is taking us closer to that cherished dream of a healthier, happier and wealthier society. Come hold our hands, let’s build it up together. After all it’s about spreading those precious little smiles! ~ Our Vision ~ Forming a charitable society is by no means a child’s play. But carrying it on in a sustainable manner is more challenging. We at SARSAS give much importance to sustainable development in all areas of education, health and hygiene awareness, environmental awareness etc. Our vision is to help create a positive change in the society through motivating youngsters to be more empathetic and service minded and at the same time empowering the unprivileged.
