Baal Dan Charities USA (501c3 public charity) founded in 2005 helps orphans and vulnerable children in developing countries. "Baal" means "Child", "Dan" means "Donation". Baal Dan Charities was formed to support the basic needs and social welfare of impoverished children (mostly orphans and street children) in Asia, Africa, North America and South America, and to promote their welfare. Given the vast number of impoverished children in these regions, Baal Dan’s initial work and presence was focused on India from 2006 to 2012. Baal Dan expanded globally in 2013, the charity maintained its commitment to providing aid for grassroots organizations that need support and through providing education as a means to break the cycle of poverty.
