About Us

NSF was established in memory of Late Mrs. Nora Solomon. Born on July 05, 1917 (1917 – 2001) in Aligarh, India into the family of George and Ruby Brave, she received her education at a simple boarding school in the city of Agra. Though she did not pursue a professional career and became a homemaker at the tender age of seventeen, she contributed most of her free time working towards social welfare and community development. She served on various committees of her church and was responsible for several drives that aimed at creating awareness on the social evils that plagued humanity, such as Domestic Violence, ill-treatment of women at home and in society and infringement of the rights of widows. Education of the under privileged children, especially the girl child, was another cause close to her heart. She encouraged one and all including her own children to help educate children from unprivileged background.

To give shape to her vision of a society without social and economic disparity, the Solomon family founded the Nora Solomon Foundation(NSF), which aims to become a catalyst in its own right of socio-economic change in India. Our focus is to promote quality education and vocational training to enhance employability, support to Child and Welfare Centers, inclusive education for special children, healthcare for the old and disabled, among other important issues.
