Despite receiving death threats, Israeli-origin Dr Michelle Harrison dedicated her life to providing safe space and a future to orphaned girls.

This orphanage houses 30 children, 27 boys, and three girls, between 5 and 18 years old. They figured that this was the right number of people and located at a distance that would make the most sense.

Ananya Grover, Anushka Sharma, Arefa, Vanshika Yadav, and Vasudha Sudhinder of Amity International School, Noida, created a communication channel between kids in orphanages and senior citizens in old-age homes. Their sole objective was to help those who feel cut off from the rest of the world.
