About Us
The Saved Pearl Foundation is a registered organization founded by Mrs. Arlene Theknath in April 2015. TSPF supports pregnant girls and women in crisis pregnancy, thereby saving several priceless babies. With an aim to provide requisite information and spread awareness on concerns like crisis pregnancies, female foeticide, female infanticide and ripples of such acts, TSPF aims at achieving an overall empowerment of the girl child and women in our society. Apart from counseling, arranging legal and medical aid and suitable accommodation, TSPF also spreads awareness about certain ignored women related concerns.
Of the total donations obtained, 70% of the funds are directly utilized to help every pregnant woman in need of our care.
- 70% towards support for women in crisis pregnancy
- 18% for management and operations
- 12% for awareness programs
The Concern
In India, every year around 15.6 million babies (especially the girl child) don’t open their eyes to the beautiful day.
The concerns that dissuade most women from proceeding ahead with their pregnancies are:
- Low literacy rates
- Need for a male child
- Low self-esteem among girls and women
- Lack of support from the spouse/partner
- Societal pressure and its evil branches
Our Interventions
Our intervention is primarily focused on assisting young pregnant girls & women who are abandoned by their husbands/partners. We help support by providing them with medical, legal and psychological well-being. Our goal is to support the girl/woman till the delivery of the baby. However, in case of an emergency we are there stand by to assist them.
Quality healthcare and counselling for the well-being of the mother remains our prime focus.
Since inception (April 2015), we have spread awareness by conducting our workshops reaching out to 5800+ children and young adults in schools & colleges, 2200+ women from low-income communities on topics such as Journey of Life, Being Happy, Infatuation vs Love and Sex Education, etc.

Our Recent Case
Dear Donors and Readers,
We are writing to you on behalf of the Saved Pearl Foundation, an NGO that provides support to women in crisis pregnancies. We are reaching out to request your assistance for one of our beneficiaries who is in need of an injection called CLEXANE 40 mg.
This injection is essential for the health and well-being of our beneficiary and her unborn child. It needs to be administered every day until the delivery of her baby. However, the cost of the injection is Rs. 458/-, and the total amount needed for the entire duration of the treatment is Rs. 51,296/-
We understand that these are challenging times, but we are hoping that you can extend your support to help us raise the necessary funds to ensure that our beneficiary receives the required treatment. Your generous contribution can make a significant difference in her life and that of her unborn child.
We appreciate your support and thank you for considering our appeal.

Oysters hold their pearls safe inside,
Help our Mamas do the same.
#MiraclesForMamas
Did you know that 15.6 million pregnancies are terminated annually in India?
Of these, only one in four abortions is carried out in a hospital – which means that the rest are not safe for the women undergoing them.*
Why do women opt for unsafe termination?
- Pregnancy out of wedlock
- Financial constraints
- Rape resulting in pregnancy
- Abandonment by partner
- Violent/abusive partner
Motherhood is a gift that many long for, yet not all can embrace.
But YOU can help an expectant mother in need carry her child to full term!
Some Mamas need a miracle.
The Saved Pearl Foundation has been working in Mumbai, India since 2015 towards the care of expectant mothers in need, providing:
Board and lodging
Nutritious food and supplements
Counselling and emotional support
Medical expenses
Legal Aid
YOUR contribution can help us save more precious pearls!
All donations are eligible for 50% tax exemption under section 80G of the Income Tax Act 1961.
“My life changed when I realised that my partner had deserted me and gone back to his village, leaving me pregnant and alone. But the birth of my baby is my rebirth as well. And in this new life, I’ve been given an opportunity to make new choices and decisions for my life – to give life a whole new direction. A big thank you to The Saved Pearl Foundation for supporting me through my pregnancy.”
