Our pledge to 20 families

GCS is a registered Margadarsi, a guide, under the Bangaru Kutumbalu program of the Government of Andhra Pradesh Zero Poverty P4 initiative. We have pledged to walk with 20 families, ten in urban Visakhapatnam and ten in rural Anakapalli, until each one stands on its own. The pledge is official, certified, and anyone can verify it.

How we work

We are driven by a simple belief: a life lived for others is the fullest life there is. We are technologists, doctors, volunteers and dreamers who genuinely care, and this is how we go about it.

See the person

Dignity comes first. We take the time to know every family we serve, their names, their hopes, what they need and what they already have.

Serve first

We show up before we are asked. Hands-on, present, one family and one drive at a time, with capital and solutions that fit the cause.

Help them rise

Everything we do aims at self-reliance. Our work is done when a family can stand on its own and lend the next hand forward.
