About us
Search Foundation was founded on 23rd November 1999 in Lucknow by renowned poet and humanitarian Sarvesh Asthana, lovingly known as the Smile Man. His vision was to bring smiles to the faces of children in need through support, care, and opportunities.
Over the years, the foundation has expanded its reach to Delhi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Jhansi, touching thousands of lives through various welfare programs.
Our motto — SEARCH — stands for:
- S – Save a child
- E – Educate a child
- A – Adopt a child
- R – Rehabilitate a child
- C – Care for a child
- H – Honour a child
With these guiding values, we continue to work tirelessly for the betterment of underprivileged children, helping them lead safer, healthier, and happier lives.
