We are a grassroots Buddhist charity empowering some of the poorest and most oppressed communities in the world to break the cycle of poverty and oppression. Find out more
Our Community Centre draws people from various backgrounds. We have sponsored the medical treatment of many slum people, so they can return to work and support their families who depend on them to survive.
Besides promoting physical wellbeing, our counselling service provides emotional and psychological support at no cost. We provide counselling for domestic violence victims, rape victims, those experiencing depression and stress.
Children from our malnourished children\’s food programme get one nourishing meal a day, along with protein supplements and nutrition drinks to malnourished children. That’s over 6000 meals a year served to children to support their growth and development!
People living in slums do not have adequate housing. They suffer ill health from cooking on coal, which is highly toxic and polluting. We have helped several families improve their homes and for others construct houses for their families.
Education is key to breaking through the poverty cycle. Unfortunately, the cost of sending children to school is often prohibitive for parents. Therefore, we sponsor children to attend school by paying for their school fees, uniforms, clothes, transport and books.
Our Job Training Centre empowers economically-disadvantaged people, particularly women, with classes that develop their skills so they can improve their chances at finding employment and breaking the vicious cycle of poverty.
As our charity expands we are employing women as social workers, tuition teachers and wardens which is a great opportunity for them in part-time well-paid work in an environment free of oppression and sexual harassment, which is sometimes present in a male-dominated society.
We actively advocate for human rights, equality and social justice in the community, as well as internationally. We have advocates to provide representation in court or at police station for women who would otherwise be unable to face the system on their own.
