HDDUS Care Foundation is a social organization based in Uttarakhand, with the primary aim of preserving and passing on the rich culture, traditions, and folk music of Uttarakhand to future generations. The foundation is especially dedicated to the protection and promotion of Jagar, Dhol-Damau, and traditional folktales. At a time when our folk culture is gradually fading, HDDUS Care Foundation is actively working to revive it and raise awareness among the public.
Beyond cultural preservation, the foundation also plays a leading role in social welfare activities. It is involved in important initiatives such as education, nutrition, and healthcare for underprivileged children, as well as environmental conservation, including tree plantation and protecting the environment. By providing education and nourishment to poor and needy children, HDDUS Care Foundation strives to give them a brighter and more secure future.
If you would like to be a part of this noble cause, you are welcome to contribute through donations as per your wish. Even a small contribution from you can transform many lives and help safeguard our cultural heritage.
