About Us

Our Mission


Project C.A.R.E is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization specializing in donating first aid, medical, and hygiene supplies to underserved new mothers and children. Our mission is to educate mothers in underprivileged communities through donations and partnerships with health institutions to disperse essential educational materials.

Project CARE helps provide basic first aid, hygiene supplies, and education while encouraging youth to take on a role in their community. We partner with local free mobile clinics, helping avoid preventable medical conditions by donating supplies, emphasizing the importance of treating minor wounds and practicing proper hygiene. Along with materials, Project CARE provides educational pamphlets and videos which educate mothers on a variety of topics such as proper prenatal care, early signs of labor, the importance of nutrition during pregnancy, and the menstrual cycle. We have also conducted several sessions of  youth mentorship programs, encouraging middle schoolers and underclassmen to become involved in community service and leadership at a young age. We have reached upwards of 150 youth from all over California and taught them how to identify a need in their community, find their spark, budget their project, plan and execute a fundraiser, and spread the word about their project.

Meet the Founder

 

My name is Sruthi Sudarsan and I am the founder of Project CARE. I hope to pursue medicine after high school so I started to brainstorm ways I could make a difference medically in communities in need. Without access to proper hygiene and first aid supplies, easily preventable medical conditions can arise. This is extremely common in the local homeless population, especially with 28,200 homeless individuals in the bay area. First aid and hygiene is often overlooked in homeless shelters since they aren’t necessities such as food and water. However, it is important to provide access to these supplies. This is why I started Project CARE with the intention of preventing serious medical conditions rather than curing them, which can be extremely expensive
