Our Mission
To bring love, hope, dignity and purpose to the poor in India.
Our Vision
To focus on education, nutrition, health and human rights, so that individual lives are impacted, empowered and restored, as well as bring about community change and generational transformation.
Our story is about helping children, families and their communities
We are passionate about making a difference in the lives of marginalised and vulnerable children, families and their communities. These people have a powerful story to tell. They are victims of terrible poverty and some desperate circumstances. We strategically help children who have limited access to a school education. Many of our students would otherwise not go to school and instead would be begging, fossicking for rubbish, or involved in child labour.
Briefly - what we do
Based on a holistic model, our work includes the following;
Providing education to 330 children, in 8 small education centres in Kotdwara and Bijnor, and 6 centres in Western Punjab with 220 kids attending these schools daily.
We have a Disability Centre that cares for 12 children and young people with significant disabilities
All children who attend our education centres are provided with a healthy meal each day
