We work in underserved villages in India to educate, empower, and equip children with the tools for a better future. Educating, supporting, and involving parents increases our programs' retention rate and success. With our medical vans, vocational training, agricultural training, arts, and leadership training, we empower rural communities to work for a better future.

In 500 villages of India, we educate children. With a retention rate of 95% we are able to keep children out of child labor, trafficking, and poverty by giving them not just high school but also vocational training or college education. Our program supports them with annual physical and eye exams, leadership training, extra tutoring support, music and arts, plus nutrition. We are empowering them to not only study but they are motivated and excited to come back and serve their community or mentor other children. Many of the children in our programs are either orphans or single parents and all are from very low-income homes.

Lace up, get festive, and join the tradition!
