ABOUT USGET INVOLVED

WELCOME TO SCAN INDIA

Society for Community Action Network-India (SCAN-INDIA) is a registered non-profit humanitarian organisation working for the empowerment and development of the poor and underprivileged communities since the year 1995 in Chittoor district in the south Indian State of Andhra Pradesh. The magnitude of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, drought and the declining health status of people in the region was the major driving force behind establishing this organization by the founder and his team.
