How can you get involved??

Sponsor A Child

The children we work with are in the Light KIDS English Medium School. Here, children in Dalit communities have access to an English education, not normally available to children in their caste.

We believe education is the foundation for building a strong future for these children. Many of the children live year round in the Light HOME Boarding school while they attend. 

Your support changes lives!

Support the Mission Hospital

Currently, Light Hospital is being built to serve the rural Dalit community in Andhra Pradesh, India. 

The projected hospital is expected to have an XR facility, 10 exam rooms, operating suite and maternity ward. We are currently raising donations for the new Light Society Hospital. 

Shining Salt Foundation's founder, Dr. Kristina Manion, is an Otolaryngologist (ENT Surgeon), and hopes to continue to support this hospital's efforts in personnel, mission trips, supplies and donations for years to come.
