India

On their first trip to India, Derek and Linda O'Neill were soon shocked to see the poverty in which people lived. Many families live on the street and in shacks, and have little food. The water, which many have to walk miles to get, is dirty and unsanitary. Upon seeing this the O'Neill's discovered their mission in life: to be of selfless service to those who need help. They started by giving the community a well to draw clean drinking water, and a way to nourish themselves by giving them cows, chickens and the means to plant crops and live off the land.

Through their dedication to the betterment of humanity, the spark of those initial projects helped ignite selfless service in many others, and eventually SQ Foundation grew into existence. We are pleased to report that since 2002, our commitment and work to improve lives in India is growing to reach as many people and animals as possible. SQ Foundation has now established schools, orphanages and built houses in Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Puttaparthi, Bangalore and many more communities throughout India. Additionally, we now also ensure regular deliveries of food and medicine to badly deprived areas, help support animal rescue shelters, and provide funding to several young adults for their college education.
