Empowering Children. Transforming Communities
REPORT
THE SOLUTION
RESPONSE
According to a World Bank report, there has been a steady decline inpoverty in Karnataka since 16th May 2015. However, one-fifth of the state’s population is still poor. Health and education outcomes in the state havebeen improving, but progress is slow. There is tremendous room forimprovement in nutrition and sanitation, as well as learning in schools.
​
​
In a country like India, the importance of education cannot be overstated. It is a powerful weapon - and probably the only one - that can pull families and communities out of the cycle of poverty.
​
Founded in 2016, Bengaluru based Suguna Sahayaka stands dedicated to breaking the complex cycle of poverty and empowering rural communities by working with children. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru once said, “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country”.
​
​
Through its work with 200+ children in 8 focus villages around Bengaluru, the organization tackles poverty, illiteracy, child labour, alcoholism and malnutrition, helping build strong foundations for 400 vulnerable and marginalized families and giving the community hope for a better future.
​
Suguna Sahayaka believes that empowerment through education is the only sustainable way to break the cycle of poverty in a country where millions still live below the poverty line.
