New
Possibilities Children’s Foundation partners with The Kushi Charitable
Society to establish educational infrastructure in highly
disadvantaged regions of India.
We’ve
designed a holistic, multi-pronged approach to shifting the community
consciousness towards education and social awareness and empowering
people to improve the socioeconomic conditions of their families for
generations to come. Through the education and personal development
of their children, we’re working to break the cycle of poverty that
envelops much of the developing world.
Our
present area of focus is Rishikesh, in the state of Uttaranchal in
northern India.
Rishikesh is located at the foothills of the Himalayas along the banks
of the sacred river Ganges. It is considered by many to be the yoga
and meditation capitol of the world.
Our
approach in Rishikesh includes the following programs:
-
The Kushi Center
- We establish a
community education center complete with children’s library,
computer and language labs, after school programs and
extracurricular activities and classes designed to enrich the
child’s mind and spirit.
-
The
Kushi Scholarship Program –
We provide the financial
support to allow children to continue their education well past the
5th grade. Our program puts an incentive in both the
child and the parent to place more emphasis on a quality education
and personal development.
