Website Ra Foundation
About Ra Foundation:
Ra Foundation is a Mumbai based NGO, working with extremely vulnerable children to transform their lives through holistic education, safe environment provided at a residential school, to help them realize their full potential. Children who have lost one or both parents, and are at risk of facing violence, abuse, trafficking, child marriage, labour, beggary or are homeless are considered as vulnerable. Our work in the space of children’s education is called the Happy Kids program. Ra Foundation identifies children who are vulnerable due to the environment at home i.e. due to loss of parents, abuse, extreme deprivation etc, through partners like Akanksha, TFI fellows, CORP etc. The team handholds the kids into a safer environment through quality residential schooling in Panchgani, Nashik, Pune, parallelly addressing counselling, healthcare and mentorship needs thereby providing an ecosystem for education and growth. The programme support continues till the completion of education, so as to eliminate the risks of dropouts, child labor and child marriage. The kids who have completed their education are financially independent and healthy people who are now contributing citizens of Mumbai, and a great support to family.
