Saaisha India Foundation

Welcome to Saaisha India Foundation

Saaisha India Foundation (Saaisha means Meaningful Life), is a charitable organisation, of compassionate, dedicated and enthusiastic individuals working towards bringing comfort and making a difference in the lives of women and children in a tangible way.

Our members are avid and experienced crocheters and knitters, who create handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomy. The prosthesis are lovingly called "knockers". We also make beanies for children under 12 years of age who are undergoing chemothepary. We are registered with Knittedknockers.org of USA and the Knockers are made from patterns specified by them. These knockers and beanies are provided for FREE to the beneficiaries.

Feedback from a Beneficiary's Friend

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible support you extended to my friend Malathi – through your foundation. I had been searching for a customised option for her for quite some time, and one day I suddenly came across Saaisha Foundation on LinkedIn. After checking the details, I ordered the prosthetic support for my friend. She recently received it, and I cannot fully describe the joy and confidence it has brought back into her life. As her friend, there is nothing more I could have asked for than to see her regain her confidence.

After her mastectomy, she was trying out different options but nothing was comfortable to her. Receiving this support felt like an answer to her prayers after many difficult days. It has restored not just her physical comfort, but also her confidence and sense of self. Seeing her smile again has been truly heartwarming for all of us around her.

What you are doing is far more than providing assistance — you are restoring dignity, hope, and strength to women who have been through so much. My friend is so deeply touched that she has already started sharing information about your foundation with other women who have undergone mastectomy, so they too can benefit from your kindness.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and the wonderful work you continue to do. Please know that your efforts are making a real and meaningful difference in people’s lives.
