  • Mission

    To empower children and women through education and build strong communities. Through our programs, we champion a holistic approach to break the cycle of generational poverty.

    About Us

    We currently support programs in over 800 small villages of India.

    Our 3E aproach to educate, empower, and equip with a job has helped over 100k children and adults in India. Most vulnerable children in rural communities like street kids, children of single moms, orphans, and kids with disabilities are given education, school bags, uniforms, books, vocational training, plus development of other creative aspects like art, music, sports, and dance. We have a 92% retention rate of kids in school.

    We have 3 medical vans that visit these villages and help with annual physical exams, eye and dental check-up too. When our doctor diagnosis serious medical problems or eye problems like cataracts, they refer patients to local hospitals and get them free surgery and treatment.

    We also have programs to support Farmers and programs to educate parents in rural areas on benefits of education, proper nutrition and hygiene.

    Our program has received innovation award by World Corporate Social Responsibility group.

    This is a program covering many different aspects of supporting and empowering rural communities, many of whom have now learned to become their own advocates.
