About Our Foundation

Standing With Every Child and Adult Living With Type 1 Diabetes

Nava Naveena Foundation is a public charitable trust registered on 25th June 2026 in Bengaluru, working in the fields of health and education. Our prime objective is supporting children and adults living with Type 1 Diabetes and other endocrine disorders — particularly those from economically weaker sections and persons with disabilities — while working more broadly for the relief of poverty, advancement of health, and other charitable purposes across India.

About Us
About Foundation

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.

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.

The Principles That Guide Us

Everything we do is built on the principles set out in our Trust Deed — service without discrimination, transparent use of every rupee entrusted to us, and continual innovation in how we deliver care.

Compassion

We care deeply about every individual and are committed to serving with kindness, empathy, and respect.

Integrity & Transparency

Our Trust Deed requires that all income and property be applied solely to our charitable objects — no trustee or member benefits personally, and our accounts are audited every year.

Innovation

We embrace research, technology, and creative solutions to improve endocrine healthcare and community well-being.

Inclusivity

Our benefits and services are open to all, without discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, religion, gender, or social background.
