Bringing about impactful change is a formidable challenge. Particularly, changing the lives of children in India, whose household income is not more than $3 a day - with opportunity rather than handouts. Dr. Abraham Goerge, Founder Shanti Bhavan, an army veteran, entrepreneur and returned, to what he believes is his purpose in life, to India to found Shanti Bhavan. He believed strongly that these children can be made unstoppable by giving them a holistic education and an opportunity to blossom. An education that helps them compete academically, become leaders and gain personal growth. The student body is comprised of children from the most disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds—environments where daily guidance and support, often taken for granted in other households, may be entirely absent.
Shanti Bhavan brings the children to a healthy, safe and nourishing boarding school set in over 38 acres in the outskirts of Bengaluru. The children not only learn academics, but valuable life skills that will train them to seize opportunities with confidence and authority and not by some government set-asides. The graduates of Shanti Bhavan have gone on to several of the top universities in the US and India. Come take a listen to learn more about this powerful and impactful organization.
