Why We Do It
When you support the education of the girls of Happy Home in Puttaparthi, you are not simply giving lessons — you are giving a child her life back. Many of our girls have known instability, fear, or a world that did not see them. When they are welcomed into Happy Home, they step into safety, warmth, and a place where their voices matter.
Education becomes the doorway to healing.
In the classroom, they learn to read, to question, to imagine — but more importantly, they learn that they have worth. They learn that their dreams are real. With education, a girl is protected from the vulnerabilities that come with poverty, early marriage, and exploitation. She begins to understand her rights, her strength, and her ability to choose her own future.
It gives her the confidence to stand tall, to support herself, and to break cycles that once felt unbreakable. She finally speaks that “I learned that my voice matters. I do not have to be silent.”
Your donation lifts a girl from surviving to truly living — from uncertainty to possibility, from silence to self-belief, from a life once limited to a future filled with choice, opportunity, and hope. You are not just educating a child — you are helping her rise.
You are helping her remember that her life is sacred, and her future is her own.
This is how change begins — one girl, one heart, one life at a time.
Beyond Education
(Life Skills and Personal Development)
In addition to formal education, the children at Happy Home learn essential life skills—such as critical thinking, teamwork, and personal hygiene—that prepare them for a life beyond the orphanage. They are encouraged to explore their interests in art, music, and sports, fostering creativity and confidence.
