From Dec 2016 to 30th Jun
We started Aster Volunteers with a singular vision, to unite people from all walks of life in helping make the world a little better. Our initiatives through medical and non-medical aid, seek to impact the underserved sections of our society. This short but deeply fulfilling journey of 5 years has helped impact the lives of 3 million+ people, with just 40,000 volunteers. And we're just getting started.

The true character of society is revealed in how it treats its children.
Children form 25% of our population today but will be 100% of our population tomorrow. It is imperative that we give them care today for the many tomorrows to come. To afford children the opportunity to truly live to their potential, Child's Health has become the prime focus of Aster Volunteers' efforts.
Because, #LittleLivesMatter
