Mission Statement
The mission of Parikrma Humanity Foundation is to create a sustainable model that shows a clear way for under-served children to transform their lives through top-class education, and in the process be a catalyst for effecting fundamental change in the way we educate our poor and the marginalized.
About This Cause
Established in April 2003, Parikrma Humanity Foundation is a Bangalore based not-for profit that provides the best possible education to the poorest children from the slums of urban India. Today, with 4 schools and 1 Junior College, Parikrma delivers free high-quality education to 1500+ children coming from the slums and orphanages of Bangalore. We go to great lengths to ensure that the poorest from the slums of Bangalore get a ‘global’ education which not only includes an English language Government recognized curriculum, but also exposure to sports, art, theater, dance and music. Parikrma’ s 360-degree development model covers every aspect of the child’s life, completing the ‘Circle of Life’ of every child by looking after holistic nutrition, healthcare and family welfare to ensure a stable home environment. Built around an end-to-end model, we support our children from the age of 5 until they are 25, when they have completed their education and obtained well-paying employment Parikrma also works with organizations and institutions to provide scholarships to deserving children, ensuring that nothing stands in their way. Over the last 18 years, we have recorded 96% attendance at our schools, and a dropout rate of less than 1%, significantly better than most Government run schools for the disadvantaged. This year, 100% of our children passed the Grade 10 exam, while 80% passed the Grade 12 exam, many with First Class and several with distinctions. More than 50 of our recent graduates are now at University pursuing degrees in Commerce, Science, Engineering, Law and Hotel Management. Our students are regularly selected to attend the Duke Talent Identification Program, that brings together some of the brightest young minds in India. Two of our students also attended the Global Youth Leadership Summit at San Diego in July 2019. In sports, our children have excelled in Athletics, Football and Taekwondo. We have been the Athletics Champions of Bangalore in the past, and our U-14 and U-16 football teams have won many tournaments. Last year, we formed a girls’ football team, which went on to win some prestigious inter-school Football tournaments. Parikrma athletes have swept up medals at Taekwondo championships – including the Best Fighter of the Tournament at the 6th South Asian ITF Championship held in Kathmandu, Nepal, recently. Our teachers are passionate and well trained. They have been part of the British Council Global School Exchange Program and have travelled to schools in the UK as part of their training. Senior academicians act as Quality Managers in the junior, middle and senior schools, and are responsible for confirming that the class and subject teachers deliver lessons in a manner which ensures that every child has learnt the concepts being taught before moving on to the next one. Thus, we are preparing even the poorest to be a part of our new world – a world defined by shrinking boundaries, increasing diversity and rapid change enabled by technology. Our aim is that these new world citizens will exert a positive change in the mainstream of our society.
