More than marks,
It’s the lives that have been transformed.
In a world that measures success in certificates and scores, we measure ours in smiles, stories and second chances.
Since its founding in 2014, Mahatma Gandhi School has grown from a handful of children to now educating 575+ students completely free of cost.
Every child here receives :
Free English-medium education
Books, bags, uniforms, stationery, winter sweaters and transportation
Mid-day meals prepared with love and nutrition
Celebration of every major Indian festival, so no child feels left out
A quarterly shopping day where they choose their own clothes
Emotional, spiritual and cultural grounding through morning prayers, the spinning of the charkha and service-oriented learning
But our true impact can’t be counted. It is felt. It’s in the confidence of a girl who speaks fluent English though she comes from a home with no books. It’s in the tears of a mother who never imagined her child would be treated with such dignity. It’s in the heartbeat of a school built without government aid, big donors, or institutional support, only door-to-door newspaper scrap fundraising, relentless effort, and community faith.
Children from marginalised backgrounds: orphans, children of sex workers, prisoners,single mothers and daily wage workers
35000+ Families during crisis, especially through our COVID-19 Ration & Vaccination Program
The building of Destitute’s Palace (2024): our open shelter ashram for abandoned children
This is not charity. This is justice with open arms.
And we’re just getting started.
