Poverty in India

Children growing up in poverty in India suffer from some of the most extreme poverty in the world, which includes poor education and chronic illnesses from pollution and unsafe living conditions.

That is why we focus on providing medical, dental and hygiene programs, educational support and tutoring, youth prep and empowerment programs, and early-childhood development programs.

See how our program works and why we focus on health, education, empowerment and employment.
