We inspire orphan and underprivileged girls to believe in themselves, nurturing their confidence and self-worth. Every word of encouragement plants the seed of hope.
Education is the foundation of change. By providing access to quality learning, we open doors to opportunities that break the cycle of poverty and dependence.
True empowerment comes when knowledge, skills, and confidence come together. We enable these girls to make independent choices, pursue careers, and lead lives of dignity.
The Tamil word "Bhagya" translates literally to mean "blessed" but it's underlying meaning denotes "another chance".
Bhagya Trust is an India-based non-profit organization dedicated to help young girls in Bangalore's slums gain another chance to overcome the challenges of poverty and crime by providing them with education, health care and a sense of belonging.
Bhagya started out as a sewing centre with 10 sewing machines in 2004. Since then, based on suggestions from our girls that learning to speak English and to use a computer would give them strong skills in the job market, Bhagya evolved its focus to include computer training and spoken English for girls who have dropped out of school. We evolved yet again in 2013 to add Bhagya Home - a safe and loving home for orphan girls under 10.
Our work is governed by these core values:
Every individual deserves an opportunity to forge her own path
To whom much is given much will be expected.
Self sufficiency is a critical cornerstone for empowerment
Bhagya works closely with local social workers to identify orphan girls or those with a single parent unable to care for them. We look to encourage, educate and empower these girls so they can rise above their circumstances and build a brighter future.
The city of Bangalore, India’s 3rd largest city, is by many accounts, Asia’s fastest growing metropolitan and increasingly wealthy. But it is also home to some of the continent’s worst slums. Children live in appalling conditions of poverty and crime, where a 70-square foot shanty houses as many as 6 families. Most homes are located in low-lying areas which frequently see flooding during the monsoons. There are no paved roads, no utilities or sewer connections and disease and crime are rampant. At greatest risk of neglect and abuse are girls, even as young as 3 years. Against these odds, girls have little chance at survival, let alone the pursuit of their dreams.
