Life for low-caste villagers in rural India is a vicious cycle of oppression, kept in motion by illiteracy and lack of opportunity. Many of our students would have been destined to follow in their parents’ footsteps if not for Shanti Bhavan.
Shanti Bhavan works to equip children with an education that supports their interests and builds a foundation for their future. Learn more about how our nonprofit for children works, or read on to get to know some of our students.
