Shanti Bhavan demonstrates what Save the Children India stands for, transforming lives through unwavering, long-term investment. We provide children born into India’s lowest socioeconomic class with world-class education, housing, healthcare, and nutrition. Every child receives 17 years of guidance and care, from preschool to their first job, ensuring a lifetime of independence and confidence.
Unlike short-term initiatives, Shanti Bhavan nurtures each child for nearly two decades, guaranteeing stability, dignity, and measurable outcomes. This approach mirrors the promise of Save the Children India, that every child deserves not only survival but success. Graduates become professionals, leaders, and changemakers who reinvest their achievements back into their communities.
Graduates of Shanti Bhavan are living proof that the Save the Children India vision can change the nation’s future. Our alumni have studied at top universities such as MIT, Princeton, and Duke, and work for companies like Google, Amazon, and Deloitte. Their success uplifts their families and creates ripple effects throughout their home communities.
Education at Shanti Bhavan goes beyond academics. Our students learn integrity, compassion, and leadership through daily mentorship and community service. This mirrors the moral foundation behind Save the Children India, to empower each child to use knowledge for the greater good and to build a life rooted in respect and equality.
With the opening of our second school in 2024 near Bangalore, Shanti Bhavan is doubling its impact. Over 300 children will now receive the same holistic care and education that have made our first campus a national success. This expansion ensures Save the Children India’s mission continues to reach more families across rural and urban regions.
At Shanti Bhavan, care is comprehensive. We provide safe dormitories, healthy meals, medical attention, and nurturing spaces for play and growth. Our holistic model ensures children can learn and live with dignity. This complete care reflects the essence of Save the Children India, protecting and empowering every child from vulnerability to strength.
Supporting Shanti Bhavan means supporting Save the Children India at its most transformative level. Every donation funds real change, not temporary aid, but lifelong opportunity. You can sponsor a child, fund a classroom, or support our expansion projects. Together, we create lasting change for children who deserve more than survival, they deserve success.
