In memory of the late Mr. Augustus Mallier, Help for Children in Need Foundation in partnership with Gus’ Wife and Children, have established The Gus Mallier Fund for Education & Human Development.

This noble initiative carries forward Mr. Mallier’s deep commitment to empowering children and youth from marginalized communities. With an enduring corpus dedicated to scholarships, education, and healthcare, the fund is a beacon of hope—opening doors of opportunity for many young lives.

His vision fully aligns with HCNF’s vision of a world where every child enjoys well-being and protection. The Fund advances its mission to “Support Protection and Empowerment of Children in difficult circumstances such as economic deprivation, food insecurities, all forms of discrimination and ill health”.

Together, we celebrate the vision of Gus Mallier by nurturing dreams, supporting education, and shaping a future where every child has the chance to thrive.

Happy and Confident Children Contribute to a Sustainable Society.

Most children attending school receive some form of support outside school, either from parents at home or through tuition classes.

For children whose parents cannot provide this form of support, schooling becomes difficult and sometimes impossible, especially in middle and high school. HCNF has initiated a direct implementation project in a settlement in Visharantwadi, Pune.

Support classes are run for science and mathematics, by a trained teacher appointed by HCNF. At present, about 33 children from the settlement are attending these classes regularly, with many others dropping in from time to time.

Seemapuri in north east Delhi is a slum resettlement colony which lacks proper infrastructure in civic amenities though the schools run by Delhi government and the municipalities have improved.

Many children are still out of school or are on the verge of dropping out. Without any family or coaching support, they struggle. The project supports such children through classes and study sessions in different shifts. The children are also engaged in different creative learning programs. Arts, sports and cultural programs are also part of the project.

The youth are engaged in different topics and issues of the community through discussions and awareness programs. Through interaction with parents and community leaders and liasoining with local government the project tries to create a healthy and harmonious situation, caring for children and their education.
