Prajna Foundation

(https://prajnafoundation.in/)

Prajna's mission is to provide the children of New Delhi's slums with the tools to escape the cycle of poverty and expose them to things that make life more than just survival. The organization began as a single, small community center in the Rohini slums. The center was designed to be a space where love, respect, clean water, positive role models, and structure were guaranteed. The original intent was to provide educational support. It was believed that if a child was helped to complete their schooling, they would be employable, independent, and able to provide for their families. However, it soon became apparent that it takes more than just a lesson plan to show a child living in poverty how bright their future can be. As a result, Prajna's activities expanded to include dance, yoga, meditation, art, drama, cultural events, health and sanitation camps, and more. Prajna now supports the livelihoods, as well as the education, of the children in Delhi's slums.
