About This Cause
What is Shanti Bhavan? Shanti Bhavan is a home and an exceptional school for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children of India's lowest caste, the so-called "untouchables" or dalits. The children come from families that have been denied basic human rights for centuries. They are victims of extreme social discrimination and are deprived of the opportunity to live with dignity and economic stability. Practically no children from these communities receive proper schooling to enable them to pursue higher education on merit. The vicious cycle of poverty faced by the dalit community of nearly 300 million people can be remedied through quality education for their children from an early age through college. Shanti Bhavan, a non-sectarian institution, offers both a loving home and “world-class” education for all its children. The Shanti Bhavan Difference: Empowerment is more than just education. Shanti Bhavan goes beyond basic literacy. Our students learn to be global citizens and leaders who change the world with integrity, compassion, and focus. Shanti Bhavan Pillars: 1. Rigorous Academics 2. Leadership Development 3. Globally Shared Values
