FAR FOUNDATION NGO

FAR Foundation was created when three long-time family friends – Dushyant Pawar, Samiksha Dahiya and Luvkesh Saroha – bonded over their love for helping others. Dushyant Pawar, the founder of FAR, has a strong commitment to giving back. While in college, the three friends noticed a distinct rise in the popularity of social media. Through this, they also witnessed the rise in medical issues happening at the events people were posting. Heart attacks and other medical failures seemed to be a real issue at parties, in the gym, at performances, and elsewhere. While bystanders could easily post these life-threatening attacks, they seemed to be unable to do anything else. Everyone was helpless. Due to this, victims were dying on the spot. There was a severe absence of basic first aid knowledge by the general public during 'GOLDEN HOUR'. Typically, victims would only get help once an ambulance arrived on the scene. Dushyant, Samiksha and Luvkesh saw this issue and needed to find a solution. So, they decided to create a new application where those with first aid knowledge and healthcare professionals could provide basic guidance during 'GOLDEN HOUR'over the phone while ambulances were on the way to save life. Dushyant, Samiksha and Luvkesh want everyone to feel confident in their ability to take action during a scary situation, instead of being a bystander that takes a video for social media. The first few moments after a heart attack or other emergency medical issues are extremely imperative to the survival of the victim. If nothing is done, their life can be lost. The FAR app provides a solution to this issue and ensures the safety and well-being of people everywhere.
