Mission: To break the cycle of poverty in India's underserved communities by empowering children with education.

DECEMBER 2017

2017 wraps up with another year of fruitful projects in India's underserved communities. Many young students entered their first form of schooling, while others ventured overseas and stepped foot on a university campus. The year kicked off with our amazing Service Trip and we finish strong with budgeting and a hyper focus on our second community center. You can help to break the cycle of poverty at:
