About EAIF
Healing trauma. Restoring dignity. Reimagining access.
EAIF RAAH is a trauma-focused nonprofit organisation committed to making high-quality mental healthcare accessible to every child—regardless of their background, literacy level, or zip code.
Founded in 2013, we began our journey inside shelter homes for vulnerable children—listening to stories no child should ever have to tell. What we heard compelled us to expand. Today, we work across government childcare institutions, municipal schools, low-income communities, and nonprofits, offering direct therapy, group counseling, and capacity-building programs tailored for the Indian context.
We exist because India is facing a silent mental health emergency. There are only 2.4 clinical psychologists per million people, far below the WHO-recommended 30 per million. Suicide is now the leading cause of death among Indian adolescents. Every day, 31 children take their own lives.
This is not just a statistic. It’s a call to action.
At EAIF RAAH, we bring therapists where they are needed most—into classrooms, slum communities, and state-run homes—places often overlooked by traditional mental health systems. Our work is trauma-informed, culturally rooted, and data-driven. We train teachers, caregivers, and frontline workers to build healing systems, while also designing tools for early intervention, emotional literacy, and peer support.
We believe mental health is not a luxury. It is a right. And every child deserves a safe space to heal, grow, and be seen.
With FCRA and 80G status, we partner with governments, donors, and CSR teams to scale our impact and dismantle the stigma that keeps children from seeking help.
Join us. Together, we can ensure that no child’s cry for help goes unheard.
Our Core Values
At EAIF RAAH, we care deeply about people. Our work is rooted in the belief that mental healthcare is a fundamental right, just like access to a physician. Everyone deserves support, no matter who they are or where they come from.
We are committed to equity, inclusion, and justice—within our team, for those we serve, and for every person who believes in our mission. We do not discriminate based on background, identity, or circumstance.
We recognize that hurt people hurt people—but we also believe that healing is possible. By providing safe spaces for individuals to process their trauma, we work to break the cycle of abuse and create lasting change.
As an organization, we affirm each other’s humanity, honor diverse perspectives, and foster a workplace where talents, ideas, and experiences are valued. We envision a world where mental healthcare is not an afterthought but a vital human right.
We won’t stop until everyone has access to the mental health support they deserve. This is our commitment—to our team, our supporters, and the communities we serve.

Our Strategy
Our team at EAIF Raah is dedicated to ensuring that all people receive the mental health support they need, when they need it. We understand that early intervention can prevent an emerging mental health need from becoming a crisis. That's why we offer a range of services, from evidence based school curriculums to individual and group therapy, to help people feel supported and heard.
The need for mental health support among youth is staggering, and it can feel overwhelming at times. At EAIF Raah, we recognize the gravity of the situation and work to provide timely and accessible support to those who need it most.
Together, we can make mental healthcare more accessible.
