India–Cyprus Diwali Celebrations Gala Dinner

Mission statement We believe in developing quality of life through community and culture. Who we are Community and culture are the foundations of a responsible society which prospers through value and respect for its citizens. We believe that narrowing social divides can make our world a better place for us and for future generations. Help2Live was established in Cyprus with the aim of developing community and cultural projects, which promote community values and strengthen social equality. These guiding principles are embedded in the projects supported and promoted by Help2Live, inspired by its founder, Mr Dipak Kumar. Help2Live is fully funded by Mr. Dipak Kumar. How we work We engage in a spectrum of initiatives centered on the strategic development of the pillars of Community and Culture. These include projects, which may:

• Preserve the cultural identity of communities
• Enhance public welfare
• Improve the quality of life of disparate families and persons with disabilities or special needs
• Assist children requiring special care
• Raise awareness of issues faced by minority social groups
• Support and implement education and training programs

Our approach We develop our own initiatives and also collaborate with partner organizations on shared causes and goals. Donations We provide donations to organisations that support causes we believe in and which maintain a proven track record in terms of their quality of work. Collaboration with other organisations We identify organisations which share our vision and invite them to discuss potential joint projects for the accomplishment of predefined goals. Assessment of projects proposed by other organisations We are also open to receiving and assessing organisations’ own project plans.
