Ra Foundation: An Insight

See how it works

RA Children

The Happy Kids program identifies children who are extremely vulnerable due to loss of parents, abuse, extreme deprivation or dwelling on pavements etc, through partners like Akanksha, Teach For India & CORP.

The Happy Kids Program has been designed to help vulnerable children with inadequate support from the institution of family and other social institutions, to develop their academic and social potential to the fullest.

With quality and holistic education in reputed and well-established residential schools, the program wishes to impact their intellectual, emotional and physical well-being. Ra acts as their foster parent to cater to all their needs, wishing to provide them with the best of opportunities like we would for our own offspring. We partner the child through their 10 - 12 years of their education, thus ensuring the much needed support for the Kid.

Ra Foundation believes in community empowerment as opposed to a direct charity model. We believe that education is not just a recognized fundamental right: it is a powerful force to make a breakthrough from the cycle of poverty and to bring about change in society.
