Dil Se, a non-profit organization based in Kochi, Kerala, India was originally founded in 2000 as an association in Switzerland by two Swiss ladies, Marina Racine and Cristelle Hart Singh . Working under and alongside various Indian NGOs, Dil Se gave financial, material and moral support to people at the grassroots level. An Indian Trust was founded in 2009 (reg.no. 28/9) by Cristelle and her husband Ravinder Pal Singh to address a variety of social and economic problems faced by children in India. Dil Se’s programmes currently address the issue of child sexual abuse.
