If each person takes responsibility for helping just one other person, the world will become a happier place. At Sharanam, we have initiated our support by providing necessities to villagers in India. We plan to extend this support to a larger number of people through our various campaigns.
The Sharanam Foundation was established in 2019 with the aim of creating model villages in India that promote sustainable living. We believe that every human being deserves an equal opportunity to achieve a better livelihood, regardless of the circumstances they were born into.
However, the reality is concerning: many children under the age of five in India are malnourished, a large number of women of reproductive age suffer from anemia, millions of children still do not attend school and are engaged in various forms of child labor, around 350 million Indians still face the burden of open defecation due to lack of access to sanitation facilities, and nearly 18,000 villages still lack proper water storage facilities.
At Sharanam, we aspire to change this inequality and are committed to nurturing rural villages by providing basic education and meals in schools, improving sanitation, promoting skill development, empowering women, and more.
We do this by bringing together individuals and organizations willing to give, and those working tirelessly to make a difference. We also aim to support Indian culture, arts, music, and literature through various events and fundraisers benefiting these villages.
Timely intervention, such as educating a generation or providing livelihood opportunities to increase household income, can help families break the cycle of generational poverty.
