About Team SOS India
We are a volunteer-driven initiative creating India's largest network for emergency assistance, legal support, and disaster relief across all 743 districts in India.
Our Beginning
Team SOS India was formally established on June 21, 2020, as a volunteer-driven initiative designed to create India's largest network for assisting people in distress, particularly during emergencies.
Our mission extends beyond immediate crisis response to supporting individuals who wish to undertake social initiatives but lack resources. With a robust structure, we have mobilized over 10,000 volunteers and collaborate with local social activists, ensuring coverage across all 743 districts in India.
Our approach integrates technology, innovation, and the power of social media, enabling us to reach and impact communities nationwide. Notable activities include providing critical aid during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as medical support and counseling, and orchestrating the evacuation of Indian students from Ukraine during the 2022 conflict, demonstrating our global reach and humanitarian commitment.
