GoPhilanthropic has partnered with a select group of effective community-based development organizations in India. We suggest you take some time to review their websites and programs to select one you wish to support during your visit to India. You will have the unique opportunity to meet with members of the organization and learn first-hand how their valiant efforts make a difference.

Tara Hostel for Boys - TARA is a residential service with an emphasis on education for vulnerable children whose families could no longer provide them with a home.

Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute - the Institute was founded in the United States by Arun Gandhi, grandson of M.K. Gandhi, to promote community building in economically depressed areas of the world through the joining of Gandhian philosophy and vocational education for children and their parents. The priority of the Institute is to rescue children from the poorest sections of Indian society who are the first to become victims of criminal gangs; the second priority is to build an institution that serves as a shelter as well as a learning institution where the rescued children will receive basic education.

AVANI / VERALA - The residential school of Avani was organized by Anuradha Bhonsle as an answer to the “Rights of Children” campaign of the United Nations. Rescuing exploited children and educating them is one way of rehabilitating children born in poverty. Anuradha was inspired and supported by Arun Chavan and the Verala Development Society which has been transforming the lives of India’s destitute since the 1960’s.
