Support hundreds of children, from their first day of school to their first day of work, with a monthly donation.

Shanti Bhavan empowers children from India’s lowest socioeconomic class to break the cycle of generational poverty through education, leadership, and compassion.

Empowerment is more than just education.

Shanti Bhavan goes beyond basic literacy. Our students learn to be global citizens and leaders who change the world with integrity, compassion, and focus.

Our Approach

Help Us Build Our Second School!

Each year, Shanti Bhavan is forced to turn away hundreds of children because one school simply cannot take in all of them. With your help, in 2018 we will begin construction on a second school that will change the lives of hundreds of new children.

Please visit our dedicated fundraising campaign to ensure the children of tomorrow get the best chance they can in life.

Shanti Bhavan’s mission is to fully develop the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children of India’s “lowest caste” by providing them a world class education and high-quality mentorship to enable them to aspire to careers and professions of their choice. By modeling long-term giving, civil engagement, and global citizenship, we provide a blueprint for our graduates to adopt as they enter into successful careers of their own.
