Wellness Kits
Making the invisible visible
A wellness kit for a child in a hospital

Something almost entirelyabsent from Indian hospitals

In the US and UK, wellness kits for children undergoing long-term treatment are standard. In India, they barely exist. Kirana is working to change that. Each kit is thoughtfully assembled with art supplies, comfort items and creative activities — so that a child sitting in a hospital ward has something that says: someone thought of you.

Sponsor a kit

Every child deserves to feel seen

Whether you want to volunteer your time, sponsor a wellness kit, or partner with us — your involvement casts a ray of light into a child's world.
