Our Story
In 2005, a dedicated group of colleagues from Baruch College came together to support Butterflies NGO, a grassroots organization in New Delhi, India. Inspired by its unique rights-based approach, which prioritizes keeping children with their families rather than placing them in orphanages, Butterflies USA, Inc. was established as a 501(c)(3) charity. Since then, it has garnered support from across America and beyond, with board members regularly visiting the NGO's headquarters. In 2014, a larger delegation celebrated Butterflies’ 25th anniversary, and in early 2020, the board dedicated a new eco-friendly facility that houses a culinary school and a resilience center for children in crisis.
