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

I am writing this email to express my heartfelt gratitude for the mastectomy knockers I received from your foundation.

Having undergone a mastectomy, I understand how challenging the journey can be, both physically and emotionally. Your support has made me feel cared for and has helped me regain some confidence.

I truly appreciate your initiative to provide mastectomy knockers to breast cancer survivors. It is not just about providing a product, it is about bringing comfort, confidence, dignity and a smile to women’s lives. My experience has been positive, and I am genuinely thankful for your kindness and generosity. I wish your foundation continued success in helping many more women.

Thank you once again for being there for breast cancer survivors. With heartfelt gratitude and best wishes.
