Put your CSR where it moves the needle.
A Schedule VII aligned, fully compliant partner for child nutrition in rural India. Measured outcomes, transparent costs, and reporting your board can sign off on.
Malnutrition is solvable. We treat it that way.
Across rural India, distance from health infrastructure, seasonal income, and food insecurity keep young children at constant risk. Zoro Foundation runs two programmes there: Project Roha, keeping 250 children across 25 villages at a healthy baseline before malnutrition takes hold, and Project Karasgaon, funding the monthly raw-material basket that brings 100 already-malnourished children back.
It is prevention-first, built with the community, and measured child by child. For a CSR partner, that means your contribution maps to a defined cohort, a defined outcome, and a number you can report.
Registered, certified, and audit-ready.

Start from the number your board already has.
Section 135 sets CSR spend at 2% of average net profit over the preceding three financial years. Put that average in and see what the obligation is, and what the share you point at child nutrition would actually fund.
Indicative only. Applicability, exclusions and the exact net profit basis under Section 198 are your finance team's call, not ours.
Numbers move with market prices and with where a cohort sits. What does not move is the unit: one child, one year, ₹2,700. How the obligation is applied, with worked examples, is on Section 135, explained.
Three ways in. One price per child.
Start with a proof cohort and scale when the results land. Every tier is scoped, costed and reported the same way. Only the number of children changes.
Tier 1
₹2.7L
Proof Cohort
A full year of nutrition for 100 children in one village cluster. The smallest commitment that still produces an outcome you can report.
Reporting
One impact report on your cohort, at the end of the year.
Field visit
One visit to the villages you fund, at whatever point in the year suits your team.
Recognition
Named as a supporting partner in the updates published from that cohort.
Tier 2
₹5L to 10L
Measured Pilot
185 to 370 children for a full year, sized to where you land in the band. Enough scale to prove the model inside one financial year.
Reporting
Impact reports twice, at mid-year and at year end.
Field visit
A scheduled visit for your team, with photographs and film from the ground for your own reporting.
Recognition
Named as a programme partner in public updates and in the year-end report to your board.
Tier 3
₹27L and above
Programme Partnership
A full village-cluster programme run end to end, from prevention in healthy children to rehabilitation of the malnourished.
Reporting
Impact reports every quarter, against plan, with a named point of contact.
Field visit
Recognition
Named recognition on the programme itself, in every update from it, and on this page.
Allocation is programme-directed: your contribution supports the cohort as a whole and moves with need, rather than being ring-fenced to specific named children. Where a tier runs beyond a programme’s current cohort it funds the expansion into the next cluster of villages, scoped with you before anything is signed. Budgets between or beyond these bands are welcome.
Built for your audit, not just ours.
CSR spend has to stand up to scrutiny. Reporting cadence is set by your tier, from a year-end report to a quarterly rhythm, and every partnership closes the financial year with the certificates your compliance team needs.
Impact reports
Children reached, outcomes measured, and funds deployed against plan, in numbers your board can read. Your tier sets the rhythm, from year end to quarterly.
Fund-utilisation certificate
At year end we issue a CSR fund-utilisation certificate confirming how your contribution was spent, ready for your statutory filing.
Open books on request
Independently audited financials and programme records are available whenever your due-diligence or impact-assessment teams ask.
