Our Story
The Ramabai India Project was founded by a woman who rose from the depths of a Calcutta slum, where she faced unimaginable challenges. With determination and the gift of education, she transformed her life and now dedicates her efforts to providing similar opportunities for children in dire circumstances. This organization believes that poverty is not a deficiency but a lack of opportunity and knowledge.
Impact
At the rural school, children experience education for the first time in their family history, nurtured in a loving environment. The project grows its own vegetables and spices, ensuring that many children receive their only solid meal of the day. Additionally, urban centers offer job skills and character development to slum-dwelling youth, enabling them to break free from the cycle of poverty. Many have graduated high school, with several now attending college and holding full-time jobs.
