WHO WE ARE

A Public Charitable Trust for Health & Education

Nava Naveena Foundation was established as a public charitable trust with the desire to work in the fields of health and education — with a special focus on children and adults suffering from Type 1 Diabetes and other endocrine disorders, particularly those from economically weaker sections and persons with disabilities. Our jurisdiction extends across all of India, and our office is based at Nava Naveen Clinic, RR Nagar, Bangalore.

Beyond our core focus on endocrine health, we work more broadly for the relief of poverty, the advancement of health, and other charitable purposes, guided by our Founder-President, Vice President, and Trustees.

OUR PURPOSE

Mission & Vision

Driven by compassion and grounded in our Trust Deed, we work to make quality endocrine and diabetes care accessible to every family that needs it, regardless of their means.

Our Mission

To provide free or subsidized insulin, essential medications, and medical supplies for children and adults with Type 1 diabetes and other endocrine disorders; to run medical camps, diagnostic screenings, and health education for underserved communities; and to support the schooling, nutrition, and psychosocial wellbeing of affected children and their families.

Our Vision

A future where no child or adult is denied treatment for an endocrine disorder because of their economic background, where families have the knowledge and support to manage these conditions with confidence, and where research and advocacy continue to improve care across India.
