The child you support today will change the world tomorrow
Ravi lost his parents, but gained a family.
At Shanti Bhavan, he’s learning, healing, and growing in a community that refuses to let poverty or loss define his life. Your gift gives him — and every child here — the safety, education, and care they deserve.
This #GivingTuesday, every gift you make will be doubled through December 2.
Your support gives children like Ravi not just a home, but the chance to change the world.
Ravi’s Journey is One of Many
Follow along each week as we share new stories of resilience and hope.
Keerthika
7th grade
In this short video, we visit Keerthika’s home to meet her parents, who both lost their sight as children. Between her life at home and at Shanti Bhavan, we see two worlds, and how one is helping to change the other.
Sabari
Class of 2018, Goldman Sachs
When his mother died, Sabari was called a curse. Today, he’s proof that no child’s future is fixed. Follow Sabari home as he shows how Shanti Bhavan turned loss into possibility.
Franclina
Class of 2025
A recent graduate from Shanti Bhavan, Franclina reflects on the home that raised her. From shy child to confident leader, her journey shows what happens when a girl is given safety, opportunity, and people who never give up on her.
Why Your #GivingTuesday Gift Matters
A child born into extreme poverty faces unimaginable hardship. When that child also loses their parents, the struggle becomes almost impossible to overcome alone.
This #GivingTuesday, your gift goes even further. Thanks to the generous match from our donors, every dollar you give now through December 2 will be doubled — offering twice the safety, twice the education, and twice the hope to children like Ravi.
Without Shanti Bhavan
Ravi’s future would have been darker than the life his mother endured: a widow working as a day laborer, fighting every day just to survive.
With Shanti Bhavan
Ravi is being raised by a community that loves him, nurtures his confidence, and gives him everything he needs to grow: an excellent education, nourishing meals, a safe home, and the medical care that keeps him healthy and strong.
Your Gift Makes This Possible
With your support:
97 % of Shanti Bhavan students graduate from high school.
