Who we are

Child Nurture and Relief Kashmir (CHINAR Kashmir) is a non-profit organisation with a mission to support orphans, destitute children, women, and youth in Jammu & Kashmir. Since our inception in 2004, we initiated our journey with a pilot project: a home in Srinagar for orphaned boys and girls. Over the years, we have expanded our reach to include multiple programs. Our foundational values, which emphasise quality assistance underpinned by accountability and transparency, have stayed consistent. Our primary objective is to enhance the lives of marginalised children, women, and families. This is achieved mainly through education and the development of skills geared towards employment. Based in Jammu and Kashmir, we operate several innovative programs. These are aimed at the social and economic upliftment of women and youth, ensuring familial care and education for destitute children, and offering material support to families in need.

In addition to our core programs, we have been deeply involved in disaster relief and rehabilitation efforts in Kashmir since 2004. Our endeavours have been made possible by the generous financial contributions from individuals and institutions. Moreover, the relentless dedication and effort of our volunteer team have been instrumental in our journey.
