Our Mission

Our Mission

Our mission is to give every underprivileged girl and woman in India the same opportunity as anyone else — to change how society sees her, to give her the chance to learn, to earn a livelihood, and to feel empowered to do anything she wishes to do, regardless of the poverty or the gender bias she was born into.

What We Do

Our Focus Areas

Three foundational initiatives — we change the mind, educate the girl, then build her livelihood.

Girls Support

Support-A-Girl keeps a girl in school end-to-end, and our Scholarship program carries her on to college and a career.

Women's Empowerment

Skills Development, Support-A-Artisan loans and the Artisans Direct marketplace turn education into a real livelihood.

Donors and friends on why they give.

There are many people who are eager and willing to support a good cause, but hesitate because they do not know what happens to the money they donate. With Sneha Karma, I don't have to worry about this.

Children shouldn't have to suffer, yet there are so many out there who have no family, no home, no food, no clothes and no education. We need to do whatever we can to educate and empower them so they can build a better life.

Sneha Karma has taken up a commendable goal of nurturing and educating girls in a location which is not served by civic amenities — in the jungles of Assam, India. I am happy to contribute and be associated with the organization.
