How We Work
None of us is as strong as all of us - our advancement depends on our unity.

Bighelp closely work with volunteers in both USA and India to raise funds and execute projects. It has a group of people working in both the countries. It has a President in USA who makes final decision for approving projects in India. It has a group of leads in India and USA who help mobilize the funds and implement the projects. All the positions, including the President, are voluntary non-paid positions and help to keep the administrative costs low.
Each project in India has a project committee with 4 designated volunteers working closely with the children and public schools.

Project committee is responsible for executing all projects in all villages within 10 kilometers radius from their village. Project committee reports to Executive Director (ED) and Assistant Executive Director (AED) at head office in India. ED will report to President in USA.
